Complete Dining Guide
Every restaurant in Government Camp.
A Government Camp institution open since before most of the lifts were installed. The huckleberry is everywhere — pancakes, pie, shakes, and jam — and rightfully so. Opens early, which matters when you need real fuel before the mountain. The signature donut is the size of a small tire; plan accordingly.
The heart of Government Camp's dining scene. Wood-fired pizza, Oregon craft beers on tap, and an arcade room in the back. House-infused cocktails and a come-as-you-are vibe. It gets loud and crowded on powder days — that's the sign you're in the right place.
The most polished spot in Government Camp. Glacial-water small-batch ales served on cask or nitro, paired with gourmet pub fare worth the premium. The blonde beer fondue is the move — order it once and you'll understand why it's on every table. Doubles as a general store with bottles and local craft beer to take home.
A family-owned gastropub in a historic building with an unexpectedly good menu. The haus schnitzel and bratwurst reveal the alpine DNA; the habanero cheddar burger is the wildcard. Local wines, Oregon craft beers, and a lively après-ski energy. Strong vegan options too — the garlic knots and salads travel well.
A Government Camp staple since 1977. Pool table, good jukebox, and the worn-in vibe that only comes from decades of ski bums and locals. One of the few spots in Govy that stays open until midnight or later — which makes it both the happy hour stop and the last call. The Elk Burger is legendary.
The pre-ski stop. Open early for gourmet coffee, fresh pastries, and breakfast burritos that will actually hold you through the first few runs. The Avalanche sandwich is the lunch move — come back after you get off the mountain. Fast, grab-and-go friendly, and consistently solid.
Casual, fast, and consistently great. The Taco Shoppe does Southwest comfort food well — fresh ingredients, generous portions, and easy pricing. Strong vegetarian and vegan options. Perfect for a quick lunch between ski sessions or a low-key dinner when the whole group can't agree on anything.
Slopeside dining at its most literal — 70 Meters is inside the Multorpor Lodge at Skibowl East with direct views of the ski runs. Order a warm bread bowl chili and a microbrew by the fire between sessions. No-frills, efficient, and exactly what you want when you don't want to take your boots off. Full bar, fireplace, live runs out the window.
The après-ski bar at the base of the mountain, with a slopeside view and all the bratwurst, homemade soup, and chili you need after a few hours in the cold. Local microbrews and specialty cocktails. Seasonal hours mean it's not always open — check before you go.
