There seems to be an unspoken debate about whether the community of Hood River is more enthusiastic about food or beer. This town is certainly about as dedicated to quality on both fronts as you will find anywhere. Perhaps it does not matter which takes the lead, as there are places like the Celilo Restaurant and Bar that excel in providing both.

The quality here stems from amazing chefs and the networks with markets and food providers that they have established across decades of providing amazing food to Hood River locals and visitors.
