1. Bistro Brie & Bordeaux
$$$ | |A red-and-white striped awning shades the entrance to this charming French eatery housed in an 1875 building which was once home to the town's daily newspaper, and has been restored according to old photos to bring back the gabled roof and other details. With buttery yellow walls, wood beams, and butcher paper on the tables, the dining room is a subtle and warm nod to the old country. Chef Stéphane Desgaches' traditional but sophisticated menu includes mussels in a white wine and cream broth, veal scaloppini with prosciutto and mozzarella, and rack of lamb with roasted fingerling potatoes. Two- and three-course tasting menus are a great way to sample it all.

2. Last Chance Cheese and Antiques Café
$ | |Most of the antiques are gone, but the classic foods for sale—from lollipops to jams and jellies to every kind of cheese imaginable—make this place feel like a blast from the past. You can hang out on the front porch, choose from a selection of more than 300 beers, and dig into a hearty "knish-wich" of potato knish, coleslaw, melted cheddar, pastrami, and turkey. You also can't go wrong ordering one of several cheese plates to share with the table. Drop by in the evening, as there's often live music.

3. Peekamoose Restaurant and Tap Room
$$$$ | |With ceilings held aloft with original wood beams, huge windows drawing the outdoors in, and rustic decor like a chandelier made from antlers, this beautifully renovated farmhouse offers constant reminders of its bucolic setting, while its proprietors, who have worked in some of New York City's best restaurants offer a fine dining experience with a laidback, unfussy vibe. Devin and Marybeth Mills' impressive and everchanging farm-to-table menu often includes popular dishes like slow-braised beef short ribs—so tender the meat falls off the bone—hanger steak with sauteed kale, and just-picked vegetables with risotto (among several delicious vegetarian options). The tap room offers a wide variety of local brews and the long, log-lined bar serves up an extensive wine list, with wines described both by varietal and by flavor. The firepit on the terrace is the place to be for an after-dinner drink and toasted marshmallows.

4. Phoenicia Diner
$ | |With its classic diner decor—swivel stools at the counter, cozy booths, and signs with little plastic letters announcing the specials—and gussied-up comfort food favorites, this popular diner always ends up on visitors' (and locals') best-of lists. Popular dishes include the duck and grits skillet, the trout with scrambled eggs, the house-cured corned beef hash, and the fried chicken and waffle sandwich. Get here early, as tables are hard to come by and it closes just before dinner.

Rate Includes: Closed Tues. and Wed. -
5. Quarter Moon Café
$ | |At this decidedly upscale spot at the edge of the village, cobalt-blue vases sit on blond-wood tables, sharply contrasting the deep-russet walls and tin-ceilinged bar area. Large photographs of Cuban scenes are hung between book racks, where a handpicked collection of art books await your browsing—that is, if you can pull yourself away from the seared tofu with pumpkin-seed mole, curry-crusted calamari, or truffle-and-soy risotto. Wednesday is sushi night. Reservations are essential on weekends and for sushi night.

6. Tavern 214
$$$$ | |Just steps from Stony Clove Creek, this popular farm-to-table gastropub revels in its location in a tree-shaded spot just outside of Phoenicia, and when weather permits, you should, too, by reserving a table to sit outside on the covered terrace. Owners Peter and Vivian Diaz have roots in the area, which might be why they are so intent on sourcing their ingredients from nearby farms and fisheries. The smoked duck breast is from the Hudson Valley, and the rainbow trout is supplied by a local family. The cozy wood-paneled dining room and fireplace seating are a comfortable backdrop for the elevated comfort food, but the long bar is also a draw with its menu of local craft beers and expansive wine list.

Rate Includes: Closed Tues. and Wed. No lunch. -
7. The Heron
$$$ | |Brunch is a revelation at this storefront eatery: think scrambled eggs with cream cheese and chives or crispy eggs on jalapeño-cheddar grits, all washed down with a mimosa or a Bloody Heron—the local version of a bloody mary garnished with olives and served in a mason jar. Dinner is just as tasty, with locally sourced ingredients used for comfort-food favorites like fried chicken. The interior is cozy, with rough-hewn wood tables, schoolhouse lights, and a pressed tin ceiling. Locals belly up to the bar in back or linger out on the back deck which overlooks the river.
40 Main St., Narrowsburg, New York, 12764, USA845-252--3333Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Tues. and Wed. -
8. Zephyr
$$ | |A century-old building with a two-level front porch (where you can dine in warm weather) and plenty of period charm is home to this farm-to-table, American comfort food eatery. The dining room is warm and welcoming, with wood floors, ceiling fans hung from a tongue-and-groove ceiling, and a long bar where locals sample craft beers from regional breweries. Menu choices include a Scottish cedar plank salmon and free-range local chicken pot pie, but you may want to begin with a round of tasty appetizers—the zucchini fritters are delicious. Everything comes from local producers, so the food is always as fresh as is could be and vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful.

9. Bear Cafe
$$$ | |Travelers, locals, and a mix of local and traveling hippies and aging rockstars cozy up to the fireplace or chill out by the stream at this lively, rustic bar and restaurant perched on the bank of Sawkill Creek, about 3 miles west of Woodstock. Sit on the west side of the restaurant for an unfettered view of the trickling waters of the Saw Kill; the patio is about as close to the water as you can get without falling in. The kitchen prepares American fare, such as its signature filet mignon dressed with port-garlic sauce and Stilton butter. The well-curated wine list has helped this place win awards every year.

Rate Includes: Closed Tues. No lunch, Credit cards accepted -
10. Brandenburg Bakery
$ | |There's always a line at this tiny storefront in Livingston Manor thanks to its bounty of treats just out of the oven that morning. Sweets like the cherry or strawberry-rhubarb tarts are sublime, but it's the savory selections, such as spinach and feta turnovers, that keep people coming back. There's also a selection of breads—like the popular German-style dark rye—which are remarkably light and airy. Grab a table by the window, or take your selection to go and stroll over the bridge to Willowemoc Creek.

Rate Includes: Closed Mon. and Tues. -
11. Bread Alone
$ | |Freshly baked breads and pastries beckon from the window of this centrally located café where Woodstockers go to wake up. You can get all the local gossip while waiting in line for a latte, or grab a table and enjoy a feta and leek quiche or a chicken sausage and kale sandwich. If you're pressed for time, this is the place to duck in, grab the fixings for a picnic lunch, and keep going.
22 Mill Hill Rd., Woodstock, New York, 12498, USA845-679–2108Restaurant Details

12. Catskill Mountain Country Store
$ | |Looking like an old-fashioned soda shop, this casual eatery evokes the past with schoolhouse lights, vintage signs, and cakes under glass. Take a seat at the wooden bar and enjoy breakfast all day: try the Gimme Smores pancakes with chocolate chips and marshmallows, or the Breakfast of Champions Belgian waffle topped with ice cream. Lunch includes salads, wraps, and sandwiches like the Mean Green Burger, which has green mayo, melted Gouda, and sliced dill pickles. You can also buy homemade jams, jellies, breads, pies, and sodas to go.

13. Catskill Rose
$$$ | |Organic gardens line the restaurant's perimeter, hinting at the fresh ingredients Peter and Rose DiSclafani incorporate into their mostly new American, seasonally driven menu. Dishes may include such favorites as smoked duck with an apricot-apple cider sauce or trout with green-olive pesto. The 26-seat dining room is cozy, calling to mind a diner with its metal-framed chairs and huge windows.

14. Chalet Fondue
$ | |This German-Swiss eatery in the heart of Windham is a slice of the old country: the two ceramic stoves, oversize wine casks, and all the ironwork were brought over from Germany. The kitchen turns out authentic jaegerschnitzel (lightly sauteed veal cutlets), wiesswurst (veal sausages with sauerkraut), and sauerbraten (potato pancakes with red cabbage and applesauce). There are three kinds of fondue, including one made with chocolate and served with fresh fruit.

15. Cucina
$$$ | |In a rambling farmhouse painted a lovely shade of yellow, Cucina serves up some of the region's best Italian fare. There's a huge communal table if you want to meet other foodies, fireside tables for chilly fall dining, and tables on a wraparound porch that are perfect for romantic summer evenings. The menu includes a surprising array of pizzas and pastas, all reasonably priced, as well as heartier dishes like slow-roasted salmon with corn pudding or seared scallops with vegetable succotash. The meats, cheeses, and produce all come from organic farms in the nearby Hudson Valley. Italy is the inspiration for the long wine list, although there are also selections from France and farther afield.

16. Dancing Cat Saloon
$$ | |In a pretty red farmhouse at the entrance to Bethel Woods Center for the Performing Arts, the Dancing Cat Saloon—sister restaurant to the Catskill Distilling Company—is hands-down one of the best eateries in the area and a great place to dine before a concert or after a trip to the museum. The dining room is decorated with musical instruments—appropriate enough, given its location and the fact that the Dancing Cat often has live music. A favorite hangout spot is the deck, where you can sit under umbrellas overlooking the field of “Stray Cat” sculptures in front the of Catskill Distilling Company. The food ranges from expertly put-together burgers to the satisfying main courses, which includes the signature pork chops. Jazz brunch is also popular, especially with locals. You may want to reserve ahead, as the place is always packed.

18. Greenbriar Farm Sweets, Treats and Eats
$ | |The outgoing Powell-Wagner family runs this ice-cream parlor and casual eatery in addition to its sap house and cider mill (in nearby South Gilboa). You can reap the benefits of both with a visit here. Jars of homemade pickles, salsa, and fruit jams jostle for space with freshly baked pies and sweet breads. The Friday-night fish fry—when fresh pollack, flounder, and haddock are beer-battered and deep-fried—is becoming a local tradition.

19. Hana
$$ | |The Japanese eatery has several tranquil dining rooms with an indoor water garden and bar. Sushi, sashimi, and tempura are the standouts. A popular spot with vegetarians, Hana is also a good choice for when you're in the mood for something a little different.

20. Hartmans Kaffeehaus
$ | |Desserts are serious business at this simple café-bakery, where a "periodic table" of sweets hangs on the wall. The Fürst Pückler torte—layers of marzipan, buttercream, sponge cake, and apricot jam—could put you into sugar shock. Strudels are delicious, and the breakfast and lunch fare is good as well. A side of warm German potato salad accompanies midday plates, such as the bratwurst platter or chicken salad studded with bits of apple, bell pepper, and celery. Choose a German beer to wash it all down.
1507 Hearts Content Rd., Round Top, New York, 12473, USA518-622–3820Restaurant Details
