Gem of Bainbridge Island — Hitchcock Restaurant

Hitchcock restaurant was on the main street of Bainbridge Island, just right off the ferry terminal.

The restaurant has been around for almost 4 years, and the deli was added about 2 years ago.

The little place was romantic and lively at the same time.

Chef Brendan McGill was voted as one of the best new chefs in 2013, and his food most definitely live up to the reputation.

All the ingredients used in the restaurant were locally grown and harvested, and I could taste that freshness in our food.

For the two of us, we received different plates for 4 out of our 6 courses, and that was just plain fun!

We got to try so many more dishes and they were amazing!

We started with locally farmed oysters as our first course.

A Food Tour of Bainbridge Island, WA

For our wedding anniversary, I had planned a get-away to a quint little town, Bainbridge Island.

Bainbridge Island is not very far from Seattle, about 30-min ferry ride from downtown.

Many people commute from Bainbridge to work in the Seattle area every day.

For me, however, it was something special — it felt as if I was travelling to an exotic location again!

Managed to snap the picture of the Seattle Great Wheel with the unintentional effect showcasing the inside of the Washington State Ferry

Unfortunately after searching high and low for accommodation, I concluded that everywhere on the island was pretty expensive.
