If you are ever on the islands and are hungry, this is the place!

Yeah, I know, you are looking at it and saying, "ooooo, I wouldn't stop there on a bet, my health insurance doesn't cover what might happen there."

Well, you would have missed the best food on the islands. The Deception Cafe is just north of Deception Pass that I have talked about, putting it on Fidalgo Island, about 2 miles from our RV park. We have eaten here several times now and the food and selection is outstanding and with a very German heritage. My first experience was a unique item: it was crab cake benedict. On a menu with at least 50 items, it stood out as tempting. The dish looked like normal benedict except that the bottom layer was two potato cakes side by side, then two Dungeness crab cakes, then poached eggs, all covered with a perfect Hollandaise sauce. Served with it was a large portion of German fried potatoes ... the best since Germany.

On later experiences with the place we have had fish and chips, home made pasta, and then the normal eggs benedict ... all way beyond excellent.
