Provincetown Restaurants

Best Lobster in Ptown! They don’t take reservations, but it is worth the wait. You can’t thumb through a Cape Cod magazine without finding some write up on this multi-generation, family-owned eatery, overlooking the water.

You can’t get much more “Cape Cod” than the Lobster Pot. And the best part…aside from the food…is the price! We enjoyed a bottle of wine, two appetizers, salads and two Lobster entrees for just over $100 (included a generous tip for our wonderful server).

Do yourself a favor and time your meal around the sunset. This place is casual and kid friendly.

Favorite Dish: drum roll please......the lobster

What an amazing restaurant. Its located in the Crowne Pointe Inn & Spa. My partner and I found it just walking around town. We walked into the lobby of the hotel, saw the restaurant and decidied then we had to eat there. The food, the staff and the atmosphere are all top notch. We had the Kona Steak special and the fresh lobster. Its a small place so make sure you call for reservations! Enjoy!

Favorite Dish: Kona Steak

The Lobster Pot's exterior has become an iconic image of P-Town. On Commerical Street, smack dab in the center of Provincetown, The Lobster Pot has been owned by the same family for more than 35 years now, and over those years they've perfected their seafood menu. Just inside the front door you'll see huge tanks of live lobsters. For more casual dining, sit downstairs; upstairs you'll find the bar area and dining room overlooking the water. The Lobster Pot doesn't take reservations, but order a bottle of wine (prices are jaw-droppingly reasonable!) and wait ... it's so well worth it.

A great place for a family dinner or to celebrate a special occasion.

Favorite Dish: Their boiled lobsters are awesome; roll up your sleeves and dig in! But if you're tired from a long day on the beach, don't give up on the lobster altogether. Instead of boiled, just try their "Pan Roasted Lobster" or their "Baked Stuffed Lobster." So flavorful, these are prepared with the main body already cut open for you, but you'll still have to crack the tail, claws and legs yourself.

Bubala's is one of those restaurants where you linger for hours, chatting and eating with friends. Their outdoor patio is streetside, which is great for people watching (and in P-Town, people watching is a pasttime!). Their indoor dining room and bar are great too, with views of the harbor. You'll often find groups of hungry folks waiting out front for a table, but Bubala's is worth the wait, especially for one of the coveted patio tables. Put your name in and take a stroll through the nearby shops while you wait!

Check out Bubala's live music schedule, too. The restaurant is known for its live jazz.

Exceptional seafood restaurants are the norm in P-Town, and Bubala's is certinaly among the best. But if you're seafood-ed out--perhaps you're craving waffles or omelettes?--try something from Bubala's brunch menu which is available til 5pm daily. So good!
And for a lighter dinner, an appetizer and a salad are big enough for two to share.

Favorite Dish: The wine list at Bubala's is varied, and very inexpensive. Clam chowder (New England, of course!) is highly recommended: thick, creamy and chock-full of all the good stuff.

Nice place to stop and take a load off. Lots of interesting and original hot and cold drinks.
Fresh seafood, menu heavy on scallops.

Engaging and fun staff.

Favorite Dish: Sampler. Every fish in the sea fried and piled high. Enough for 2 or more.

Inspired by South Africa, this little joint has some exotic dishes on offer. There isnt too much place to sit but the staff are friendly and the food is nice enough!

Favorite Dish: The deep fried snails were great. As a food lover, it was nice to have something different.

Seafood restaurant is a Seafood Paradise/ Morii chomped on a 3 1/2 lb.
lobster there.

This place has been here for more than 100 years and is the cheapest place in town for breakfast and lunch. Standard breakfasts, interesting sandwiches for lunch. Great takeaways - pasteis de natas (custard cakes) included. Only problem here is that the smell of deep-frying dough can be very overpowering.
