Top 5: Places to Eat Around Bow-Edison in Washington State

Delightful little towns Bow and Edison, in Washington’s fertile and scenic Skagit Valley, offer much for travelers: farms for visiting and buying picnicking supplies, unique shops, restaurants with ardent local sourcing and plenty of scenery.

There are only a handful of places to eat in the towns, but several are simply outstanding, especially considering they’re this far out in farm country.

Tweets

Tweets, which at first glance appears to be little more than a coffee shop, offers plenty of freshly baked treats and enormous plates of food for lunch, all with a rustic, farm-fresh angle.

The Rhody Cafe

The Rhody Café, which skews upscale, is housed in an unassuming farmhouse in Bow. But sophistication hides inside, and this is a great place to come for a special occasion dinner — or just to treat yourself.

The Old Edison Inn

The Old Edison Inn, which masquerades as a typical small-town beer-and-billiards dive, actually uses local beef in its burgers and serves locally harvested oysters.

Slough Food

Slough Food, a European-style provisioner stocking cheese, cured meat, wine and loads of locally sourced goods, is perfect for a picnic or for dining on the back patio behind the shop.

The Edison Cafe

The Edison Café serves throwback American diner food in a quaint setting within a vintage former gas station.
