Pro Tip: Dine Like a Local
Reservations are recommended for dinner during peak season, especially at Sunriver Brewing and South Bend Bistro. For takeout nights, order ahead from Josie K’s or Blondie’s, then enjoy dinner on the deck overlooking the river.
And don’t forget dessert — grab a box of donuts or cinnamon rolls from Hot Lava Bakery for the next morning.
