Redmond’s restaurant scene has been on a quiet but impressive tear over the past few years, and travelers passing through Central Oregon’s airport city are starting to notice. What used to be a quick stop for gas on the way to Bend has become a dining destination with enough variety and quality to justify building a meal (or two or three) into your itinerary. From field-to-table fine dining to beloved Mexican kitchens and a thriving food cart culture, Redmond’s table is set and ready for you.
The Standout Restaurants
Terra Kitchen leads Redmond’s dining scene with its farm-to-table philosophy, building menus around seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms. Brickhouse offers USDA Prime steaks and fresh wild seafood in a warm, polished setting perfect for special occasions. Diego’s Spirited Kitchen has built a loyal local following with bold flavors, generous portions, and consistently excellent service.
Mexican Food and Casual Favorites
La Frontera has been a Redmond staple for years, serving traditional dishes from gorditas and sopes to enchiladas that taste homemade in the best possible way. Carnaval Mexican Grill takes a seafood-forward approach with fresh ceviche and shrimp plates. For burgers, Bogey’s Burgers builds satisfying stacks on locally baked buns delivered fresh each morning. Cibelli’s Pizza, started by a native New Yorker, has brought authentic East Coast pizza standards to Central Oregon with dough made fresh daily.
Craft Beer and Food Carts
