Foodies in Washington are in paradise here – there are so many great dining spots! Here’s one little restaurant that’s well off the beaten path, but it offers historic charm and tasty food. It’s well worth the drive.
The Windmill Restaurant opened up in 1931, and it's been serving delicious food with friendly service ever since.
You'll find The Windmill in Wenatchee, a town in north-central Washington that's nestled on the banks of the Columbia River. The address of the restaurant is 1501 N. Wenatchee Ave., Wenatchee, WA 98801.
This cozy little restaurant hasn’t changed much over the years. Its warm wood paneling and twinkle lights make for an intimate atmosphere, perfect for any dining occasion. Snuggle into a booth…
The food at The Windmill Restaurant is just as fabulous as the service. You’ll want to get your meal started with a tasty appetizer, like the pesto clams, which are prepared with fresh, homemade pesto in a white wine sauce.
You’ll find plenty of seafood on the menu, and it’s always fresh. Try the coldwater lobster tail with house seasoning, the crispy fish and chips, wild-caught salmon, halibut, or jumbo prawns.
Don’t forget to leave room for dessert! While it’s tempting to fill up on all the dinner entrees, you’ll definitely want to try the homemade pies here.
