What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Castaways Global Cuisine is lauded for its exceptionally creative and delicious fusion of Caribbean, Creole, and French dishes, often described as a 'foodie's delight.' Diners consistently praise the attentive service and the unique experience of interacting with the chef/owner. While the ambiance is casual and lively, some find the prices to be on the higher side for the portion sizes, though most feel the quality justifies the cost.
"This place has the best food in Canon Beach. The food is interesting, crafted, and delicious. The menu is much more interesting. The staff is also very friendly. The atmosphere is great as well. I highly recommend it, especially for a birthday or date night. The curry dish and lobster bisque are amazing."

"Foodies Delight !
August 2025
We celebrated our anniversary here. It is all about the food, it is like eating at a friends home full of friends and your host is a 3 Star Michelin chef. It is beautifuly noisy and casual to a fault. The Food, The Food !!! Service was excellent on spot. Wonderfull Cocktails. The Chef came out after our meal at the end of service and chatted us up for 10 minutes, what a joy! After 56 years of celebrating anniversaries this was the best meal of them all (just inching out Mama's Fish House)."
Richard Timmons
"Very good food, overall incredible dishes that were well worth the price. I got the creole and it was great, only complaint was that on a spice level of 3/4 it wasn’t particularly spicy, but that’s more of a personal issue with spice levels. Please visit if you have the time! (And money)"

Restaurants in Cannon Beach
At the north end of town, making it a perfect drop-in after a hike at Ecola State Park, this colorfully decorated spot with its own little tiki bar serves big portions of creatively prepared Caribbean and Creole fare, along with a fittingly extensive selection of tropical cocktails (the Yellowbird, with fresh-squeezed tangerine and lime juice and Tia Maria, is a favorite). Kick things off with Dungeness crab fritters with mango salsa and Bahamian brown stew, before savoring a heartier main dish, perhaps braised pork tenderloin in a rich mushroom-Marsala sauce or New Orleans–style jambalaya with smoked pork shoulder.

While the Oregon Coast has its own unique beauty, if you’re looking for a more tropical experience, head to Castaways 'Tini Tiki Hut -- with a Mai Tai in hand and a plate of jerk chicken, you can at least pretend the crashing surf is made of crystal blue waves and not filled with massive Great Whites.
Cannon Beach, OR Family Travel Guide
A few honorable mentions that we haven’t tried, but will try in the future due to good reviews – EVOO (looks less kid-friendly, but great for foodies), Public Coast Brewing, Castaways (Cajun cuisine. Closed Monday and Tuesday), MacGregor’s Whiskey Bar (Breakfast and lunch until 3pm, then it’s a bar and bar food. Highly rated clam chowder, cocktails, and breakfast. Closed Tuesdays), Cannon Beach Hardware and Public House (hardware store with a little bar serving up good ole American bar food).

Cannon Beach Restaurants We Recommend!
Honest to Goonies, there isn’t a thing on this menu you won’t love. Unique Caribbean and Creole combinations are the inspiration for many dishes, but not for weak copies. Instead, the Jambalaya, Coconut shrimp, Crab Fritters, Jerk Chicken and many changing specials show off the creative, fresh and seasonal fare from the Castaways kitchen.
