Pho Le 1 is our one and only go to spot for Pho. The prices are so reasonable, and the staff is super friendly. They don’t mind if you accidently have a 4-hour lunch with your girlfriends. Oops!

Crafted Tap House was the first restaurant I ate at when we came to town. I was hooked from the first bite on that fabulous patio! Try the huge pretzel.

Unchained is a super cool spot downtown with outdoor seating. They have a huge cooler for beer at great prices! They are part of the Resort chain of restaurants with friendly staff. You can ride a bike that mixes your margarita. I haven’t done it but it’s fun to watch!

Bardenay is a fun spot with outdoor seating and great steak salad. I judge all dinner places on their steak salad.

Dockside is also a part of the resort chain of restaurants. It has a great salad bar and wonderful desserts like the town famous Gooey!

Capones has several locations in CDA, Hayden and Post Falls. Great family spot! We have enjoyed several of the locations and they are all great. Guy Fieri ate here once. Anyway, I love the Chicken Ceasar salad here!

The White House Grill is not in Coeur d’Alene, but it deserves a mention! If you love Garlic and mouthwash stations in bathrooms, then try the White House Grill! It’s a wonderful Greek restaurant that you have to go to with your significant other because you both need to have garlic breath. If you go without them your significant other might not kiss you for 5 whole days.

Moon Time boasts of the best burgers in town. I was not disappointed! Fun atmosphere and great staff. They have a sister restaurant in Hayden called The Porch which is also great! Oh and apparently, they have a cousin restaurant in Spokane. I went to all 3 within 2 weeks. It was all great!

Juniors Cocina is the ONLY place to get Mexican take out in my humble opinion. You can eat there, but parking is a nightmare if you go at the wrong time. I call in our order and pick it up 20 minutes later. The portions are perfect, not monstrous but generous. It’s very reasonably priced! I could go on and on. You can probably tell it’s my favorite place.

Fire Artisan Pizza is by far my favorite pizza in town. The Caesar salad we got to share fed 4 people easily. The pizzas are served on a slate slab and cooked to perfection. They have a truffle salt that is so flavorful! The atmosphere is wonderful.

Honey Eatery is most likely the coolest place in downtown CDA. I haven’t had food here before, but I helped shoot a short film in the lower level of this restaurant and it’s just so neat. 100 points for atmosphere!

Sweet Lou’s is down by McEuen Park and has a fun patio. It was such a great place to take the family! Everyone had great food, and the wait staff was fantastic. We even saw a duck in the fountain! ** They opened up a location in Athol and it was just as good. If you're headed to Farragut State Park, you'll be driving right passed it!

Relic BBQ Holy Brisket Batman. I shed a single tear this food was so good. Then my husband forgot our leftovers. I’m devastated to this day. This was a year ago. Since then, we have gotten dinner to go and ordered enough food to feed a crowd for a 'I don't feel like cooking for all of you' BBQ!

Terraza Waterfront Grill is a very fun sort of fancy little place by the river. The circle chips are made in heaven. My husband had the wings which he said, ‘were good’. So that pretty much means they were amazing. He is a man of few words.

Shiki Sushi Bar and Grill is a very fun restaurant! The atmosphere was delightful and fun. Everyone was very happy with all the plates they ordered! I tried 2 kinds of Sake, so I don’t remember much of the food. Just the sake. Which I liked. Very much.
