Favorite Sandpoint, Idaho Restaurants
I love good food and come from a restaurant background. Here are a few of our favorite haunts in town:
- Eichardts – especially good on winter nights – cozy local atmosphere. The pub food is consistently well done. The garlic fries are not to miss.
- Trinity at City Beach – awesome view of Lake Pend Oreille and the mountains. Good for breakfast, lunch (great salads) and dinner.
- Baxters on Cedar – great burgers and meatloaf. Yes, the meatloaf is delicious.
- The Fat Pig – our friends just recently opened this restaurant in the Pend d’Oreille Winery and we especially love ordering off the “snacks” menu.
