  • 1. 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.

  • 2. 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.

  • 3. 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.

  • 4. 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.

  • 5. 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.

  • 6. 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.

  • 7. 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.

  • 8. Grape Vine

  • 9. 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.

    Rate Includes: No credit cards, Closed Dec.–Apr.
  • 10. 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.

  • 11. Hitching Post

    $

    Low lighting and lots of bare wood give this family-friendly restaurant about 5 mi northwest of Prattsville a roadhouse-like aura. The building dates from the turn of the 20th century and has a storied history; during Prohibition one enterprising owner set the attic on fire when his still blew up. The menu is loaded with well-prepared American favorites such as burgers and fries, steak-and-potato dinners, shareable appetizer baskets, and scrumptious homemade desserts—save room for co-owner Jennifer's apple crisp. Simple, reasonably priced rooms upstairs and a sizable cottage out back are available for rent. You might have company if you choose to stay here; guests have reported benign ghostly visitors.

  • 12. Maggie's Krooked Café

    $

    At this laid-back eatery in one of the prettiest buildings in Tannersville, you will find homemade baked goods piled on the counter and breakfast all day. Mountain bikers and skiers fill the place in the morning to partake of favorites like Eggs McMaggie, with two fried eggs, bacon, and your choice of cheese on an English muffin; challah French toast; steak and eggs; and freshly squeezed juices. Later in the day, organic sandwiches and salads take over. Thumbtacks hold artwork on the white wood-plank walls, and church-pew benches are filled with boisterous families.

  • 13. Main Street Farm

    $

    The best reason to visit this always-busy shop is the café, where sandwiches are made to order and packed in boxes, making them perfect for impromptu picnics. There are also a couple of tables inside and on the sidewalk where you can enjoy favorites like the Root Cellar (kale and pistachio pesto with pickled beets) or the Catskill Comfort (ham from a nearby farm with organic lettuce and sweet-and-hot mustard from Brooklyn). This shop is one of the few places where you can buy smoked fish from nearby streams and hormone-free dairy products from farms scattered along the hillsides.

  • 14. Matthew's on Main

    $

    This place combines the comfort and fun of a small-town tavern with a broad, ever-changing menu. If you're in the mood for meat, you can't go wrong with the Big Mama Burger, laden with ham, caramelized onions, and cheese on a toasted bun, and a basket of chef Matthew Lanes's hand-sliced potato chips. For a lighter meal, try a cheesy quesadilla and a cup of chunky gazpacho. Service on the deck gives you an eagle's-eye view of the hamlet.

  • 15. Oriole 9

    $

    With pale wood floors, original art on the walls, and chalkboards crowded with menu options, Oriole 9 is a local favorite known for its breakfast all day—be that the traditional eggs and bacon or something more special, like poached artichoke, curried coconut tofu hash, or bread and butter pudding served with bacon and maple syrup. There are several different soups and salads if you're not feeling breakfast for lunch, as well as heartier fare like sandwiches made with slow-braised pork or brisket with spicy mayo. The bittersweet chocolate mousse is a perfect dessert to share.

  • 16. Raimondo's Ristorante & Pizzeria

    $

    The best pizza in town is at Raimondo's, on the main drag. The building has aged, and the decor isn't anything to write home about—but the tables are clean, and the service fast.

  • 17. River Market

    $

    If you're looking to stock up on supplies, Barryville's River Market carries everything from local produce to just-baked breads to its own blend of coffee called "River Mud." But it's also one of the best places for a belly-filling breakfast or lunch. Sandwiches and wraps are named for local landmarks, so the Route 97 has fresh roast beef, cheddar, and applewood smoked bacon, all topped with a sweet barbecue sauce. After your meal, there's a walk-up window where you can get ice cream.

  • 18. Roscoe Diner

    $

    This quintessential diner and local landmark has been owned by the same family since 1969 and it holds a fond place in the hearts of regulars who stop by for a belly-busting breakfast on weekends. (Get here on the early side, as it gets packed closer to noon.) Grab a booth by the window and peruse the pages-long menu. There's a little bit of everything, but the homemade soups, salads, and sandwiches are always reliably good.

  • 19. Shindig

    $

    A casual eatery in the heart of Woodstock, this popular local hotspot delivers comfort food "just like mom used to make," if she used organic ingredients sourced from local farms and dairies. The soups and salads are tasty, but the burgers and sandwiches—like the farmhouse burger (with cheddar, bacon, and sriracha aioli) and the veggie-friendly grilled cheese (three types of cheese with date preserves)—are what keep people coming back. Mac and cheese or hush puppies are the perfect sides. Wash it all down with craft beer or cider, or a selection from the surprisingly varied wine list.

    1 Tinker St., Woodstock, New York, 12498, USA
    845-684–7091
  • 20. Sweet Sue's

    $

    French doors open into a bright, airy space filled with white wooden booths, marble-top café tables, and a stainless-steel counter where trays of fresh muffins cool. You'll see why it's a local favorite when you tuck into the Blue Monkey, a stack of blueberry-banana buttermilk pancakes, or the savory huevos rancheros and experience the efficient, friendly service. Take a note from the locals—who come armed with newspapers and books—and grab a seat outside under the colorful umbrellas. Note that Sweet Sue's is a cash-only eatery.
