If there’s one thing living in Rhode Island has taught us, it is how to scope out good, fresh seafood. We never have to wander beyond our state’s borders either because Rhode Island serves some of the best seafood in New England, maybe even on the East Coast. When that next seafood craving hits, head on over to Quito’s, a one-of-a-kind seafood restaurant in Bristol, Rhode Island.
Once upon a time, starting in 1954, Quito’s was a popular seafood market, a place where locals flocked for some of the freshest seafood in Bristol, perhaps even Rhode Island.
With the success of the Bristol seafood market, the family who owned and ran it decided to expand. Several tables were added, where diners could dig into delicious seafood dishes made from beloved family recipes.
A lot has changed in the ensuing decades – there’s now indoor and outdoor dining – but one thing has remained the same. Quito’s dishes up some of the freshest, tastiest seafood in Rhode Island, paired with absolutely stunning views.
If the outdoor dining area is open at Quito’s, request a seat outside. Don’t worry if it’s too chilly; the indoor dining area is warm and cozy, the definition of a family-friendly restaurant.
A seasonal Rhode Island restaurant, Quito’s scores some pretty impressive feedback from diners, who give two thumbs up for its friendly atmosphere, top-notch service, and fresh seafood.
Kick off your meal with a bowl of clam chowder – red, white, or both. While it’s been dubbed “the best” by some diners, let your taste buds be the judge. The clam cakes also garner glowing reviews.
How about following up with one of the freshest lobster rolls in Rhode Island? The menu also features other favorites – fried oysters, fish and chips, and pan-seared salmon, to name just a few.
From pasta dishes to sandwiches, the menu has something for everyone, even the non-seafood lover. The Angus burger or the fried chicken strips are perfect if you’re not in a seafood frame of mind.
