Castaways Global Cuisine is a compact restaurant and bar just off the main strip in Cannon Beach. The space is low-lit and intimate, with bold wall art and a casual layout suited to date nights or small groups.
The menu weaves together Cajun-Creole, French, and Caribbean flavors. Dishes range from lobster bisque and blueberry-studded jambalaya to parmesan-crusted petrale sole with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Etouffee, curried prawns, and seafood pasta with scallops, crab, and shrimp cover the bolder end of the spectrum, while filet mignon with bleu cheese sauce leans more classic.
Cocktails skew strong and tropical, with drinks like the Zombie and Rum Punch anchoring the list. Seating is limited, and reservations are often necessary on weekends.
Castaways stays relaxed and unpretentious but polished enough for special occasions — a local dinner spot with coastal energy and a confident kitchen.
