A small owner
chef restaurant in the heart of Orcas Island's Eastsound Village,
Christina's has been a destination restaurant for over 28 years.
In keeping with the island way of life, Christina Orchid and husband
Bruce made their restaurant a haven of graciousness and hospitality.
Christina's has been nationally acclaimed for a menu that features
the best foods from the bounty of the NW region. Kudos from countless
magazines and TV programs have made Christina's famous, but the
enjoyment of each customer remains the ideal. |

"I love Christina's
Cookbook. It is graceful and painfully honest in areas where
most cookbooks blur the edges. It is gracefully indigenous and ingenious
and beautifully written."
Jim Harrison, author of The Raw and the Cooked
"In Christina's Cookbook, she takes you on a very
personal journey by way of her wonderful recipes. She has a passion
for great ingredients and simple preparation and it is a pleasure
to cook from her book."
Eric Ripert, Executive Chef/Co-Owner, Le Bernardin, New York
City
"In the sea of restaurant cookbooks, Christina's is
an island from an island. From the story of her restaurant's creation
to her reflections on oysters, her writing is so personal and engaging
it's like sharing dinner conversation with a cherished friend. And
in the storm of food bullied with big flavors, Christina's recipes
shine with lovely simplicity and mouth-watering appeal. I love this
book."
Jerry Traunfeld, chef and author of The Herbfarm Cookbook

It's
easy to think you're in heaven; at Christina's, a cozy, waterside
Orcas Island gem; "creative," "contemporary NW cuisine
the highest-quality seafood" (much of it local), "a great
wine list" and "a beautiful outdoor deck make for sophisticated
fine dining that many rate 'the best in the San Juans'"; "don't
let the outside fool you" warn those who've climbed the stairway
to heaven above this remodeled former'30s gas station. |

| Location |
|
 |
|
We are located
90 miles north of Seattle in Eastsound, Orcas Island.
Christina's
has been a way of life for over 28 years. We have
chosen to remain a small, personal restaurant because we feel the
real art of the cuisine lies somewhere outside the realm of traditional
business formulas and goals. Our use of fresh, indigenous products
speaks of our pride in wines, produce and seafood of the Pacific.
