Dining in nearby Woods Hole

If you do not mind a short 3 mile walk or bike ride via the Shining Sea Bikeway, taking a drive or the shuttle to Woods Hole, there are a number of great restaurants in this coastal area of Southern Falmouth – here are are few favorites:

Landfall Restaurant: another local family run restaurant. Originally opened in 1946 by a man who grew up around Falmouth in the summertime, and currently owned and run by his sons. Similar to The Quarterdeck, a lot of interesting wood and material was recycled and used in the building of the Landfall. Much of the wood came from shipwrecks and old buildings. The Landfall has a beautiful stained glass artifact which is a window showing the wharf and a waterfront scene. The window came from a prominent mansion of Penzance Point.

Quicks Hole Tavern: A relative newcomer to Woods Hole, this location was built on the success of the seasonal restaurant Quick Hole Taqueria. The Tavern offers a year-round high quality “farm to table” lunch and dinner. and has quickly become a ‘hot spot’ on the Cape. Located just across the street from the Martha’s Vineyard Steamship Authority terminal, this restaurant offers great food, drinks and views of the ferry’s comings and goings. The restaurant has also become a guest favorite and has received highly favorable press from Cape Cod foodies and beyond. For Fan Favorite dishes click here.
