The Best Restaurants and Bars in Camas, Washington

Downtown Camas, just 20 miles east of Portland, provides the ideal setting for a day of eating and shopping — or a stopover on the way to the Columbia Gorge. Restaurants, bars, cafes, and a bustling mid-week farmers market in this historic town serve things like sushi and Hawaiian food, tacos on freshly made tortillas, and classic cocktails. They join the bounty of boutiques that dot the tree-lined streets, with offerings from Navidi’s Olive Oils & Vinegars, Poppy & Hawk with its candles and jewelry, and the Soap Chest selling hand-made soaps and skincare products. Two new bookstores, Bookish and Autumn Leaf Books, recently opened here. But there’s more to Camas than just food and shopping; independent films and popular documentaries show daily on the two screens at the historic Liberty Theatre and the Downtown Camas Association organizes a full slate of annual events.

Those stopping in Camas for a full day, a weekend, or just a quick lunch can find a fun spot for a bite or drink by perusing this map. Eater’s Vancouver, Washington, guide may help those visiting Camas’s big sibling.
