New Hampshire Restaurant and Dining Guide
New Hampshire may be small in size, but it packs a serious punch when it comes to its culinary offerings. With an abundance of fresh seafood, a thriving farm-to-table movement, and a rich maple syrup heritage, the Granite State has something to offer every foodie. Join us as we explore where and what to eat in New Hampshire.
Seafood Splendor
New Hampshire's coastline is blessed with an array of mouthwatering seafood. For an authentic New England experience, visit Portsmouth's Jumpin' Jay's Fish Cafe, where you'll find delectable dishes like crab-stuffed haddock and their famous raw bar. If you're craving a lobster roll, look no further than Petey's Summertime Seafood and Bar in Rye, where the lobster meat is piled high on a buttered and toasted roll.
Farm-to-Table Feasts
The farm-to-table movement is alive and well in New Hampshire, with many restaurants placing a strong emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. The Black Trumpet Bistro in Portsmouth showcases the best of the region's seasonal produce, with a rotating menu that includes dishes like slow-braised pork shoulder and pan-seared scallops. For a more casual experience, head to The Foundry in Manchester, where Mediterranean-inspired dishes are made with ingredients sourced from nearby farms.
Maple Syrup Magic
No trip to New Hampshire would be complete without indulging in some of the state's delicious maple syrup. Parker's Maple Barn in Mason serves up hearty breakfasts featuring their own maple syrup, while Polly's Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill is the perfect place to enjoy a stack of pancakes topped with their homemade maple spread.
Craft Breweries and Distilleries
New Hampshire's craft beer scene has exploded in recent years, with over 100 breweries now calling the state home. Smuttynose Brewing Company in Hampton and Stoneface Brewing Co. in Newington are just a few of the many breweries worth visiting for a pint or a brewery tour. For those who prefer spirits, Tamworth Distilling in Tamworth offers tastings of their unique, locally inspired spirits, like their Apiary Gin and White Mountain Vodka.
Sweet and Savory Snacks
Foodies with a sweet tooth should make a beeline for the Lakes Region's Kellerhaus, a historic ice cream parlor and candy store in Weirs Beach. Sample their homemade chocolates, fudge, and ice cream, or try your hand at making your own sundae at their sundae bar.
For a savory snack, indulge in some poutine at Chez Vachon in Manchester. This Canadian classic has made its way south of the border and is now a popular dish in New Hampshire. Chez Vachon's version features crispy fries, cheese curds, and a rich, flavorful gravy.
In Conclusion
New Hampshire's culinary scene offers a diverse array of delicious experiences, from fresh seafood and farm-to-table fare to sweet maple syrup treats and locally crafted beers and spirits. With so many tasty options to explore, there's no doubt that the Granite State will leave you satisfied and eager to return for another culinary adventure.
