    Hashbrowns, guacamole, tomatoes, and easy over eggs.
    Anjelah S.

    A small place and packed with people. Thats a good sign. Right? Our nice waitress seated us by the front window. Great spot. We weren't in the middle of the café. We ordered and didn't have to wait long before our food was served. The food was hot and tasted amazing. We will be back!

    Burrata Salad
    Hyunji K.

    You'll spot this place in Bend by the long lines every morning--and now I understand why. The café is charmingly decorated with bright lemon accents, creating a fresh and cheerful atmosphere as soon as you walk in. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and our server never stopped smiling. They explained the menu so well that we decided to order all of the daily specials. We started with a smooth latte and the bread pudding of the day--perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The burrata salad was outstanding, with tomatoes, olives, and basil that tasted incredibly fresh. Every bite brought out the brightness of the tomatoes and the aroma of basil. The seasonal ratatouille was another highlight: the vegetables were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of spice, making it flavorful and well-balanced. This spot truly delivers. The long lines are absolutely worth it!

    Cute brunch spot! Small / limited seating so not ideal for large parties but perfect for couples. We walked in and there wasn't a wait (but it was a Thursday morning) Standard brunch fare with lots of fresh baked pastries, solid showing all around

    Cinnamon roll
    Emma S.

    Came here with a large party for breakfast and they did a great job at making sure we all got our correct orders! The cinnamon roll was pretty good, but wasn't as flavorful as I've had in the past 3/5. I really enjoyed the avo hash smash! The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy and the avocado was nice and fresh. I loved the addition of the tomatoes for the perfect amount of acidity! They had a great selection of food and a nice change from the usual diner menu

    Really nice little breakfast/lunch spot with excellent and creative dishes, packed with lots of flavor. Service was very friendly and the food came fast. Definitely will come back!

    Crab eggs Benedict
    Jimmy S.

    The lemon tree was great. The staff was very nice and the food was good. They did mention there separate plates would cost a certain charge which I was disappointed about. While they at least disclosed it. It made no sense about it because we shared food family style. I had the crab Benedict which was great and heavy. The special bacon they had was also excellent. Their nasi goreng is decent and interesting although I've never had a nasi goreng that was as wet or soggy as theirs. Not to say it was bad but it was not as common. The decor was very cute and very lemon forward. Their blueberry starter was super good!

    Great food and service and ambiance! Reasonable prices, crowded but staff were managing the lines very well.

    Croissant

    Those homemade croissants are amazing but the real winner of breakfast was the skirt steak omg! It's a cute place that sits on a corner. The inside gives me Bridgeton vibe lol

    Menu

    A very popular and busy restaurant. We ate here on Saturday 7/26/25. Very crowded by 9:30am but we got in within 20 min. Inside is nice but small (tables are very crowded together) food is more on the hippy-dippy side but what I had was the one of the daily specials and was very good. I had the steak and eggs, that included bacon and hash browns. Very good and cooked to perfection. Parking is also hard to find, there is a pay to park lot right next to the restaurant that you use an app to pay on. Carful on parking there because after paying I received a parking citation that says I didn't pay. Totally not a reflection on the restaurant but you need to be aware.

    Smoked Salmon Benedict
    Mel H.

    They are not kidding about the line to get into this cute little restaurant. We got there 15 minutes before they opened and we were already 4th in line. By the time they opened the line was reaching around the corner. The servers were all very friendly and food was fantastic. The portions were on the larger side. We will definitely be returning. I heard their dinner is also great.

    The last time I was in the area the wait time was too long before we needed to head out so I didn't get to check them out. We just missed the first rush but honestly 20 mins wasn't too crazy compared to the last time we tried to stop by. The outdoor seating area wasn't open for dining (just drinks) but as you enter it's a really homey vibe. Be sure to ask if they have specials that day from their normal menu. The crab cake benedict was calling to me so had to get that from their menu. The crab cakes were super filling and just the right amount of sauce to cover them and the muffins. The cakes paired well with the avocados and didn't make me feel too heavy eating it. All in all, I can see how it's a local favorite but service is pretty relaxed so I would stop by right at opening or when you're not in a rush.

    Amaretto French Toast
    Ryan C.

    My wife and I had brunch here today for our wedding anniversary, and we were impressed. We decided to get one sweet dish, and one savory dish, and then share them between us. The food was delicious. My wife said that she thinks it was the best French toast that she's ever had. The pork belly hash with duck egg was seasoned perfectly. For coffee I had a black drip. and my wife had a latte. Both were very good. The establishment has a very clean, vibrant, and upscale feel to it. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We would love to come here again.

At first, walking down the alley in downtown Bend, I honestly was not sure what we were about to find. Then we started seeing little fire pit pods, heated huts, glowing candles, and people tucked away having cocktails. It instantly felt cool without trying too hard. Walking into San Simón felt like stepping into some funky speakeasy hidden in plain sight. Dark lighting, moody atmosphere, David Bowie playing in the background, wild artwork on the walls that makes you stop and stare for a second. Just a great vibe all around. The kind of place where you sit down and immediately relax into the evening. The cocktails were excellent. Not overdone, not syrupy, just really balanced and well made. One of our favorites was the "Some Positive Feedback," which came with this sugar rim that looked awesome and added just enough sweetness without overpowering the drink. Bright citrus flavor, refreshing, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. Then we asked the bartender if they could just make us something off the cuff. We said vodka, lemon and lime forward, not too sweet, maybe a little spice. They absolutely nailed it. Crisp, refreshing, layered citrus flavor with just enough heat on the back end to keep it interesting. Honestly one of those cocktails where everybody at the table takes a sip and immediately goes, "Oh wow." As a bourbon guy, I was also pleasantly surprised with the whiskey selection. The bartender recommended Stafford's Reserve, an Oregon bourbon, and I am glad I listened. Smooth, approachable, a little sweet up front with some spice on the finish. Easy sipping bourbon that fit the whole vibe of the place perfectly. What really made the night though was the staff. Everybody was friendly in that genuine way where you feel welcomed instead of "served." By the end of the night it honestly felt like we had been there before, even though it was our first visit. The outdoor setup deserves some love too. Bend cooled down at night, but the fire pits and heaters kept everything comfortable. We could have easily stayed another couple hours just hanging out. Pricing felt fair for the quality of drinks and atmosphere. This is not a dive bar pretending to be fancy. It is a genuinely cool cocktail spot that knows exactly what it is. If you are in Bend and enjoy craft cocktails, bourbon, cool music, quirky atmosphere, and places with personality, go find San Simón. Half the fun is finding it tucked down the alley in the first place.

I ended up ordering an impressive amount of food, and by the time I hit my fifth large course, he joked that he'd have to pinch himself if I actually finished it. I couldn't help it--everything was that good. He also pointed me toward the owner, who clearly knows exactly what he's doing in the kitchen and carries himself with confidence and intention. Every aspect of this place felt immersive, like stepping into a classy, well-directed film. The atmosphere, the food, the service--it all came together seamlessly.

    For reasons unrelated to restaurant quality or reputation, we'd avoided Zydeco. Recently, however,…read morealong with a couple friends, we decided to give it a shot. Verdict: Zydeco is an outstanding restaurant in virtually every way. No negatives to report. The place is popular - arriving just before opening on a weekday, there was a line to get in. Reservations are definitely a good idea here. Our early arrival in line allowed us to choose a good table in the back, where it wouldn't be too hectic. That too was a good idea as the place gets loud with conversation when it fills up. Music wasn't loud, just the people. The menu isn't huge but there are quite a few, varied choices. Given the meal was a bit of a splurge for us, I essentially ignored the prices, which are not trivial by any means. Fine dining entails spending money. Zydeco has a ton of reviews and as the menu apparently doesn't change, I'll just say everything we ordered was great. Cocktails too. The Bramble Down is exquisite. Service was top tier as well. Timely, attentive, professional without being stiff. The capstone to our experience involved the bill. We actually had a gift card from 2017 - nine years ago. While it certainly didn't cover the whole bill, or even half, it was a nice way to defray costs. Unfortunately, when the server ran the gift card, it showed no balance. Not sure why but perhaps over the years, the card had been erased by stray EMF. Despite that and given we provided the card receipt, the restaurant honored the card for the full amount anyway. Well done. Highly recommended.
