Don’t-Miss Dining

Van Rensselaer’s Restaurant offers fresh locally caught seafood and an array of vegetarian options. The raw bar and salad bar are big hits, as is the breakfast buffet that’s available on Sundays.

During the summer, stop by Moby Dick’s for reasonably priced, delicious seafood. This casual restaurant serves great lobster bisque, clams,
a variety of fish, and much more.

Sample the delicious fare at PB Boulangerie, an authentic French bakery and bistro, complete with a baker and a chef who are French natives. Beyond desserts, you can find hot and cold appetizers as well as elegant entrées.

Point of Interest

Wellfleet is home to SPAT, a nonprofit organization devoted to fostering greater understanding of the town’s shellfishing industry. SPAT stands for “Shellfish Promotion and Tasting.” The name also honors the oyster, which begins as a free-swimming larva called a spat. Through events and seminars on shellfishing and environmental issues, SPAT celebrates and spreads the word about the town’s famous oysters and clams, its deep-rooted shellfishing traditions, and its love of the arts. Proceeds support the annual Wellfleet OysterFest held in the fall as well as SPAT’s educational mission. Each year, SPAT grants educational awards as financial aid to Wellfleet residents or others who are pursuing careers in shellfishing or to those whose contributions increase awareness of Wellfleet’s shellfishery.
