Counter-serve, beach-themed nook in a historic building with communal seating & casual seafood eats.
"Hosts a holiday popup with drinks like spiked apple cider in Provincetown." - Erika Adams
"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 plates of ginger miso salmon and fried fish sandwiches." - jennifer mattson

"“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 the day on the back patio overlooking the water. The casual New England eatery serves lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, with creative spins on favorites like grilled cheeses (try the big salami version, which adds ham and Genoa salami to a melty sandwich of Raclette cheese), plus clam chowder with leeks, smoky bacon, and a touch of lemon. Other winners: the crispy brussels sprouts tossed in their own fish sauce, and of course, the legendary frosé." - Nathan Tavares
