"Situated in a quaint little cottage on busy Galveston Avenue, Ariana has been the cornerstone of fine dining in Bend for quite some time. Husband-wife duo Andrès and Ariana Fernandez have continually created simple, refined food, often incorporating seasonal produce from Central Oregon. Seating is limited, so for those hoping to nab seared scallops with Dungeness crab risotto, reservations are highly recommended; however, the restaurant is still offering pre-ordered curbside takeaway."

"More than a coffee shop, Jackson’s Corner offers a complete menu of local, humane, and organic foods and coffee. They currently have two store locations, one in the Eastside on NE Cushing Drive which opened in 2014, and the other opened in 2016 on NW Delaware Avenue in the Westside of Bend.

Huevos Rancheros at Jackson’s Corner. This is another spot where it behooves you to check the specials board, as their commitment to locally-sourced ingredients can earn you some fresh and tasty dishes."

"There’s always something fun happening at Astro Lounge, a bar known for its massive liquor collection illuminated by neon lights. The lounge has its very own stage near the front entrance and a secluded outdoor patio out the back door, and all along the way, you’ll find quirky artwork lining the exposed brick walls. Their drink menu is about as packed as the event calendar at Astro Lounge."

"Known for its buttery, scratch-made scones and an entire case of gluten-free options, Nancy P’s Café & Bakery has been a neighborhood mainstay on the west side for seventeen years. High ceilings and walls of windows provide the ideal lighting for sitting down with the Sunday paper. Among Nancy P’s many savory and sweet goodies sits the unassuming almond croissant, and it’s worth branching out of your scone-ordering habit to savor its flavor."

"As someone who has been visiting Bend since I was a young girl, my first visit without my parents to visit my aunt and uncle was almost twenty years ago, and I can vividly remember Nancy P’s Cafe and Bakery. The cozy house with an abundance of green foliage accessorizing the home. Needless to say, one of the first ventures I set out on when I moved here was to find this bakery."

"At a glance: Cute cafe with excellent baked goods and sandwiches. This cute little cafe serves up some excellent baked items as well as sandwiches, salads and breakfast offerings in a homey atmosphere. While it’s a nice place to eat and relax, this is one of our favorite places to grab a sandwich and treats for a day of hiking and adventuring."

"Yes, Bend is right in the heart of Oregon high desert to the east and a mountain range to the west. The ocean is at least four hours away, and while there are plenty of fish in the Deschutes, they aren’t tuna. But if you know anything about quality sushi, the geographical location doesn’t matter all that much."

"Tucked inside McMenamins Old St. Francis School, Broom Closet is a magical, whimsical place reminiscent of all things Harry Potter. Or maybe it’s all the brooms that have us thinking thoughts of Hogwarts. This unassuming “broom closet” opens to the public in the afternoons with a spirited variety of offerings, with an emphasis on whiskey, scotch and port, accompanied by a small bites menu."

"The Dogwood Cocktail Cabin is a cozy eatery with woodsy-chic décor in the heart of downtown Bend that serves creative, contemporary New American cuisine and inventive craft cocktails.

Here, you can enjoy globally inspired new-world cocktails alongside small plates and desserts made from scratch."

"This swanky little “cocktail cabin” in the heart of Bend has an extensive list of cocktails, favoring unique martinis made with a variety of spirits, many of which have been infused with seasonal ingredients. It opens at 5pm Tuesday through Sunday and it’s highly recommended that you show up sometime in the first two hours for $4 off most cocktails."

"Whether it is out on the water, sitting down for a cup of coffee, strolling along the paths at Drake Park, spending time viewing a small indie film in a boutique theater or savoring the delicious fare at the many locally owned, family run restaurants, some of which have been recognized by the James Beard association, there are many simple, beautiful and memorable ways to spend your time in my new hometown. And I am more than happy to share what I’ve discovered."

"Home to the famous Mirror Pond, Drake Park is likely one of Bend’s most popular parks for visitors and locals alike. They host several events throughout the year, so be sure to check the schedule to see what will be around during your visit."

"One of Bend’s newest parks, Riley Ranch Nature Reserve is the site of the oldest homestead in Bend’s city limits. Ovid B. Riley and his family farmed and raised cattle, building a number of cabins and outbuildings. Not only can you still see remnants of those buildings, but also a prehistoric rock shelter once occupied by natives of the area."

"A post shared by Stu Curtis (@sand_to_snow) on Oct 5, 2019 at 8:58pm PDT. Riley Ranch Nature Reserve is the last mention on our list and stretches 6.5 mi (10.5 km). The terrain is mostly mountainous and is a worthwhile experience."
