Sweet Basil's Café

This tiny lunch spot under a covered wooden deck at the north end of downtown Cannon Beach is the latest endeavor from chef John Sowa, who previously owned Lil Bayou, a large Cajun restaurant in nearby Seaside. Although you will still find Cajun influences here (a shrimp po' boy made with wild Mexican shrimp), the menu now emphasizes healthy choices and is heavy with seafood, vegetarian, and vegan options. Daily soups are good, and dishes with crab, including a crab-stuffed portobello mushroom and a crab roll, are also good bets.
