Restaurants

Southern Oregon's dining scene varies greatly from region to region, with the more tourism-driven and upscale communities of Ashland, Jacksonville, and Grants Pass leading the way in terms of sophisticated farm-to-table restaurants, hip coffeehouses, and noteworthy bakeries and wine bars. Other larger towns in the valleys, including Roseburg and Medford, have grown in culinary stature and variety of late, while Klamath Falls and Cave Junction have few dining options of note. In the former communities you'll find chefs emphasizing Oregon-produced foods; regional wines, including many from the Rogue and Umqua valleys, also find their way onto many menus.
