Washougal is a tiny town in Clark County that sits right on the Columbia River. And while there’s not much to do here other than enjoy its stunning natural beauty, it does have The Puffin Cafe, an adorable floating restaurant you can access by boat. Stop by and enjoy some Caribbean cuisine on the Columbia at this unique restaurant in Washington.

The Puffin Cafe has been open since 2002, serving tropical cheer to its patrons.

This is the only restaurant of its kind in the area, both in cuisine and flotation capabilities.
The interior is simple, but charming.

The tables are topped with pennies under a gloss finish, and the chairs are nice and comfortable.
While the Columbia River Gorge isn't exactly The Caribbean, this place does its best to emulate the laid back tropical spirit.

There's nothing like enjoying a meal in the outdoor seating area on a warm day.
