Seafood, frosé, lobster rolls, and beach views await
"The Canteen gets our vote for the best lobster roll on the Cape. This particular iteration takes toasted brioche and stacks it with a quarter pound of meaty lobster with chives, all served open-face. Order at the counter and head to the backyard where you can eat your roll away from the crowds of tourists on Commercial Street, Provincetown’s main thoroughfare. Almost everything they do that involves seafood here is good, like bowls of tuna poke and fried fish sandwiches." - jennifer mattson, carlo mantuano
"“Let’s meet at the Canteen” might as well be shorthand for “Let’s see where the day takes us.” Stop in for a quick bite and you might end up staying on the back patio overlooking the water. The casual New England eatery serves lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, with spins on favorites like grilled cheeses (a combo of cheddar, smoked gouda, gruyere and Parm), plus clam chowder with leeks, smoky bacon, and a touch of lemon. Other winners: the crispy Brussels sprouts tossed in fish sauce, and of course, the legendary frosé." - Nathan Tavares
"Nathan Tavares described the holiday popup in Provincetown’s backyard as a festive draw: “It was really fun to sip some spiked apple cider and wander their holiday market.” He highlighted the spiked apple cider and the convivial holiday-market atmosphere as the main charms of the seasonal setup." - Erika Adams
