Overview

Cortez Cafe at 12108 Cortez Road West in the historic fishing village of Cortez has been feeding working fishermen, dock workers, and in-the-know visitors since long before the area became a dining destination. The no-frills diner opens at 6:30am and runs through 2pm, specializing in hearty breakfasts and made-to-order lunch specials in the unpretentious style of a place that never had to try to be authentic. Seafood omelets, egg plates, grilled cheese, and daily specials fuel the fishing crews who tie up nearby before dawn. If you want to eat exactly the way the commercial fishing community does, this is the only address that counts.
