KOKANEE CAFE
PacifIc Northwest. $$$
One of the region’s most delightful surprises,
this rustic lodge—open only from May to November,
and then with sometimes limited hours—offers a
fresh and creative gourmet menu. Dishes like local
Metolius River rainbow trout and seared loin of venison
can easily entice diners to travel the 15 miles
northwest from Sisters into the relative wilderness of
Camp Sherman.

THE TROUT HOUSE
Pacific Northwest Seafood. $$$
The owners of Camp Sherman’s exalted Kokanee
Cafe bought this longtime restaurant on the banks of
the Deschutes River last year, and immediately set
about refreshing its 1980s image. The menu ranges from
blackened chinook salmon to seared Hawaiian ahi tuna
and New Zealand green-lip mussels, but also appeals to
meat lovers with dishes like rack of lamb. A 100-bottle
wine list highlights Oregon and Washington
vintages.
