About Switchback Grille

Switchback Grille, located at the summit of Bretton Woods, offers breathtaking views of Mount Washington and the surrounding valley. The restaurant is known for its casual food served in a beautiful setting, making it a great destination for lunch or brunch while enjoying outdoor activities. The menu features a selection of small plates, salads, bowls, and sandwiches, including standout items like the French onion soup, as well as desserts. Guests can enjoy a full bar and cafe, with the option to sit at regular tables or in the large indoor dining area, which still offers views of the mountains.

Seating is first-come, first-served, and a gondola ticket ($28) is required to access the summit. Many guests recommend making reservations, especially during busy times, as the restaurant can fill up quickly. The Switchback Grille is family-friendly and offers a special Sunday Brunch menu. Guests can enjoy items like a Mimosa Flight and shareable dishes such as the Watermelon Salad, which is pre-divided for convenience. The restaurant is a perfect spot for those looking to soak up the scenery and enjoy delicious food after a day of hiking or skiing.

The best top of the mtn lunch and service ever!

My vegan Caesar salad was good but not sure if market it as a Caesar. Nothing like one but still delicious.

Service was excellent. Greg was very attentive and rang everyone up separately.

A little pricey, but honestly not a lot more than the base lodge and MUCH better quality.

Cloudy but I would imagine the views on a clear day are amazing.

We've been here after hiking in the summer and while skiing in the winter. The food and service are always fantastic. The black bean burger is our favorite, but also really like the cauliflower app (when it's available) and the salmon sandwich.
Plan for a $100+ for 2, but it's a phenomenal mountaintop treat
