We've been going to Bubala's in Provincetown for years, and we go for two items-- the Steamers cooked in stout and the Lobster Roll.
Here the chef takes the traditional sauce used to steam mussels in white wine and substitutes stout for the wine, and steamers for the mussels. (I've copied this method many times at home with wonderful results.)
Yesterday this was our lunch stop. We happened to be running errands in our rental car when the hungries hit us. Bubula's is one of the few places in town with parking.
They also have a good size patio for people watching and some waterview tables inside, if that's what you crave.
Bubula's believes, as I do, that a lobster roll and a lobster salad roll are two different things. They show that belief on thier menu.
I had the Lobster Roll– sauteed with butter. Yesterday's version was prepped by a skillful hand. The lobster was buttery with an occasional crispy bit but not dry. The fries were seasoned and tasty. Proof of their goodness is that I ate more of them than I intended.
We dined at the bar with the locals. It's a good place to get a feel for the current tone of the town.
