The Mews Restaurant & Cafe

"The Mews Restaurant and Cafe is located toward the end of Commercial Street and is a longtime Ptown local favorite—both for the food and the views of the sandy beach and water right outside the windows. The menu is always changing, with stuff like baked miso cod, seared scallops, and vegetarian meatloaf, but you can always count on any of the fish specials being exceptional.  " - jennifer mattson

"While this two-level New American dinner spot is getting a facelift through most of 2024, you can head to a Mews popup at the space that once housed Spindler’s at the nearby Waterford Inn. Order up the scallop cake appetizer, which is a pan-seared patty with leeks, fennel, and creole seasoning. The many global-inspired plates call for lots of return trips to try them all. First-class favorites include the miso- and mirin-marinated cod with sake butter sauce, and the garlic-and-herb-crusted lamb chops with a pesto potato mash and creamy goat cheese sauce. The vindaloo packs a punch, too, with tomato chutney and grilled naan to sop up that tangy sauce." - Nathan Tavares

"While this two-level New American dinner restaurant is a beacon of warmth during the starkly beautiful winter months, the French doors and windows let in sea views and summer breezes, too. Order up the burrata and tangerine appetizer, which is finished off with a drizzle of lavender honey. The many global-inspired plates call for lots of return trips to try them all. First-class favorites include the miso- and mirin-marinated cod with sake butter sauce, and the smoked duck breast served over gnocchi and a velvety truffle-gorgonzola cream sauce. The vindaloo packs a punch, too, with tomato chutney and grilled naan to sop up that tangy sauce." - Nathan Tavares

"The Mews has been feeding Provincetown residents (and a lot of famous people, apparently) since 1964. The current location, which it moved into in 1993, is more cozy and welcoming than is typical of fine dining. The bartenders at the Mews make great cocktails, so get something classic like a Sazerac or an Old Fashioned. Pad the stomach with some crab cakes or duck merguez." - Terrence Doyle
