One of the greatest pleasures of eating at The Canteen is the excellent view of downtown Provincetown. While dining on local fresh seafood in this quaint 200 year-old building, you can watch locals going about their daily business and tourists enjoying a stroll through the charming city streets.

Once the food arrives, however, you will forget the view. Naturally, the restaurant focuses on local fish and seafood, and the offerings are fresh and caught daily. Breads come from the local bakeries Iggy’s and Pain D'Avignon. The menu is rich in classic favorites such as lobster rolls and New England clam chowder, as well as a few delectable surprises like crispy brussels sprouts in fish sauce.

They have a nice selection of local craft beers, and the carefully-selected wine list includes wines from both new and old world.
