Headed to Bend for 6 days Thursday. Top restaurants (looks like a ton of great ones), hikes nearby or other day trips recommended?
 
One day planned to crater lake and do the rim drive but that is all that is “scheduled” for now.
 
Thanks.

Rent some paddle boards and pick a lake on the Cascade Lakes Highway(not the reservoirs, the lakes) most have great sandy beach day use areas.   Beach chairs, some lunch and a few beers is a great relaxing day.

Countless good beer options, including 10 Barrell, Bend Brewing, Immersion, and Deschutes. Blissful Spoon is a good meal.

Meth labs got priced out of Bend about a decade ago.

that might be accurate.  My experience with that part of the world ended about 15 years ago.   And I'm happy to never go back.

Haven't been there myself, but I recall a friend of a friend raving about the scenery, hiking, and rock climbing in Smith Rock State Park, which is about 30 miles north of Bend.

Yes, Smith Rock is great (maybe too hot right now?). My AllTrails notes are not great but we liked Green Lakes and Tumalo Falls hikes.
