The Juice will not open until Thursday but Wellfleet's other restaurants are already gearing up for high season. Eating out can be expensive, which is why more people than ever before seem to be choosing to picnic or buy take out at Wellfleet Marketplace although our little town does have some great dining options. There's Wicked Oyster, of course. Mac's Shack, already described a few weeks ago, and in photo, above. Mac's Seafood, on the harbor.
Winslow's Tavern I featured in this blog last month.

Another restaurant on my personal must-try list is Cafe Edwige's in P-town. For the time being, we will be having soup, using the organic leeks and potatoes from the garden after my five nights in a row of dining out ...
