Taste Ashland, Oregon, at These Global Restaurants

"The town’s beloved go-to breakfast spot (an hour wait on weekends is common) offers creative takes on omelets and crêpes and generous portions. The bold blue interior features a painted quote from Japanese haiku master Basho (“I am one who eats breakfast gazing at morning glories”). My Alaskan king crab omelet was positively bursting with crab, artichokes, and scallions in Parmesan cream, and a rockfish crêpe with bacon delighted on a previous visit. French toast with salted caramel, or with lemon ricotta, wins rave reviews. Opened in 1997 and ranked Ashland’s top restaurant on Tripadvisor, Morning Glory survived a near-death experience when it closed during the pandemic. But two loyal customers purchased it in 2021, keeping recipes and longtime staff, and a new owner took over in January 2024." - Sharon McDonnell
