About
One reviewer called the backyard 'the place to be' with fire pits and a bar. The Canteen is a modern New England summer shack serving fresh seafood, sandwiches, and housemade desserts in a historic wharf building. It's casual, dog-friendly, and draws a mixed crowd. Order at the counter, then grab a seat in the communal dining room or the popular backyard patio.
Highlights include hot and cold lobster rolls made from daily-steamed lobsters, and a cod banh mi sandwich. Full bar with beer, wine, and housemade lemonade. Best nights are Friday and Saturday. If you're looking for another spot nearby, The Mews Restaurant & Cafe offers a different upscale dining experience just steps away.
Located in the West End of Provincetown, this spot is steps from the ocean and the historic Atlantic House.

Place your order at the counter and then find a seat in the backyard. The food is excellent (the lobster rolls were fantastic). The backyard offers fire pits, a bar, great music, attractive people, everything you could hope for.
