The Cooked Goose on Watch Hill Road, is a warm, homey spot across the Pawcatuck River. For what the small town of Westerly has to offer, this place is on the top of my list (#2 to be exact). Serving breakfast and lunch seven days a week, they specialize on light fare- sandwiches, soups, baked goods, and gourmet foods. The Chef stresses the use of fresh, quality products in all item menus, which is common to cafes or delis in big cities- not in a place like Westerly. Breakfast can be a bagel with cream cheese and a cup of joe or truffled eggs and vanilla almond french toast. For lunch, options include The Goose (Italian tuna, Bel Paese, sweet peppers and arugula on ciabatta), Captain Kirk (basil and cashew chicken salad with avocado, tomato and sprouts in a spinach wrap), and The World's Best hot pastrami sandwich platte. On Fridays they serve fish and chips, with fresh haddock, served with fry wedges, and house made remoulade. Delicious! Of their to buy section they have, to my surprise, Epoisses, the traditional Burgundy cheese washed with Marc de Bourgogne. This is one of my favorites, which I have previously enjoyed at fine dining restaurants. Nevertheless, the Goose is a must have.
