Relocation Guide|Moving to Salem Oregon

Trying to find out where to eat when you move to Salem Oregon can be fun.  Trying new restaurants for the adventurous is part of the fun.    When my clients ask  me about good Asian food in town, I had to turn to Rebekah of the What’s Happening in Salem Blog. Rebekah loves Asian food and I think has been to every Asian restaurant in town many times. I knew if anyone could steer my clients in the right direction, it was her. Rebekah’s favorite Asian food choices in Salem Oregon are…

• Super Pho on Lancaster has the best pho
• Vietnam Restaurant on Center downtown has the best for other Vietnamese dishes.
• Thai Beer is hands down all-around the best Thai in town.
• Fuji Ricetime downtown is good sushi and
• Sushi Kyo has good sushi on a sushi train.
• Love Love Teriyaki is great!
• Venti’s also has great teriyaki plus a lot of other good fusion dishes.

So if you are moving to Salem Oregon and wondering where to get your Asian food fix, give these places a try.

In 1864, this photo was taken of the Cook Hotel located on the corner of High and State Streets…the SE corner of it, in fact. The hotel changed owners a couple of times and was the Monroe Hotel before the Bligh’s purchased the building and land, razed it, and built Bligh’s Capital Theater.

Bligh’s Capital Theater became Warner Bros Capital Theater and most recently this corner of Salem has become a local gem…La Capitale Brasserie. Owner David Rosales, opened La Cap (locals nickname for this place), just over a year ago. Already it has a good reputation in town, and I personally agree with that reputation.

I think I have the only kid on the planet that hates french fries. My son has NEVER liked them. On a recent outing to La Cap, he couldn’t resist trying one, as we all raved about how good the pommes frites were.

Yep. My 10 year old finally likes french fries. Not sure if that is a good thing or not, but whether you are here for the pommes frites, the sandwiches, the tomato soup, or the warm chocolate cake…chances are you will enjoy your meal at this new local restaurant.

This is a great addition to the Salem restaurant scene, and for parents rest assured that their grilled cheese is kid tested and approved so feel free to head over there knowing you can get something for your kids, while you have a more adult meal.

Did I mention the lemonade is fresh squeezed?

If you are considering moving to Salem Oregon, this is one restaurant you will want to check out.

La Capitale Brasserie is located at 508 State Street in the old Bligh Capital Theater building. David even has the old sign up on the wall.

The old photos are from the Salem Public Libraries Historic Photos Collection.

Don’t let the location of this restaurant fool you into driving by.  Inside this building sits the Amadeus Cafe. Amadeus used to be located down below the Salem Public Library, but moved down south when they needed more space.

If you haven’t been into this restaurant you need to venture over here.  Open for lunch and dinner, they typically have good food.  If you go for lunch the wild mushroom sandwich is really tasty and I have yet to have a bad soup from here.

Its a great local meeting spot for a book club, gals night out, or just a friendly get together. A decent wine selection, yummy dinners and desserts, you’ll have a good meal regardless of the time of day.

Located at 5121 Skyline Loop it is easy to bypass this yummy restaurant, not expecting something good to be located in an odd space.   Venture inside.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

If you are considering relocating to the Salem Oregon area, this is just one of the many local dining gems we have in town.
