Restaurants near Germantown

“The four of us had a wonderful evening at the Universal Cafe last night. Dinner was absolutely delicious, creatively composed, and I can’t wait to return. Located in Germantown, NY only 30 minutes away from Rhinebeck, it’s a hidden gem that was the perfect spot on a cold Winter’s night. I started my meal with thinly sliced sweet Cara Cara oranges on a pool of peppery olive oil with crushed pistachios served ice cold… so refreshing after the decadent pâté appetizer. My cod entree was beautifully cooked and served with a silky root vegetable purée. The chocolate pot de crème finished the meal and was so good. The portions were generous, the prices very reasonable, and our server was super charming. Thank you for a wonderful night!”

“Great find and great BBQ, I had the pork and beans and they were both well seasoned and delicious. Don't forget to get some home made gingerbread too! Really good value and friendly service, we will be back.”

“What a hidden gem in Germantown, NY. Best BBQ I have had in a while. We had the pulled pork sandwich and bbq chicken sandwich. Both cooked to perfection and such flavor. We will be back !!”

“Palatine Park Pizza has very good pizza. We always order take out and enjoy leftover pizza warmed in the oven for a few minutes just as much as when we take it home. We have even frozen left over pizza and it was good too.”

“recently and reluctantly did a wine tasting in fortlauderdale Florida and wow was i impressed with this program and service provided by MIss peacock.so much that I am now a member.looking forward to some good wine and more tastings.thanks”

“One of the best restaurants on the East Coast, had the duck, the pasta, salad, some drinks and it’s mind blowing.The menu is constantly updating, all the ingredients are seasonal. 12/10Will definitely come ”

“We often go to Valley Harvest when we don't feel like cooking. Great salads and decent sandwiches - the hot dog is good too. The best thing about this place is the ice cream. Micro batches of really unique flavors. A word of caution - it does take a while for the food - lots of locals call ahead for orders or do take-out. Otherwise it's a favorite!”

“This is by far the best Italian restaurant for a special occasion in Greene County. We enjoyed the ambiance and everything we ordered. A group of 6 celebrating a birthday.”

“On a Sunday afternoon during our weekend stay in Hudson we ware lucky enough to get a table here and what a treat that was!We got some appetisers and threes different mains for us to try. For a moment it felt like we are in Tuscany and not in Hudson.A definite recommend!It may be our favourite Gem!!!”

“You have to visit this special place! They put a lot of thoughts into making each dish. The cafe is bustling for Sunday brunch. Everyone was very friendly and food came out quick. If you’re feeling adventurous their specials include some bold dishes! I truly love this place and it made Hudson such a cool town too. I prefer this restaurant to lots of Michelins. This is where you get food with a soul.We especially enjoyed the pig foot rice (it’s boneless and you don’t really see the shape of the pig foot) and stuffed duck neck (it was nothing like what we imagined; it’s kind of like a sausage. The dish has chestnut which is very special!!)Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!!”

“Fantastic food and drinks. Very fresh and carefully crafted. Very nice restaurant inside with good acoustics and lighting. The menu can be a bit difficult to decipher if you’re not familiar with Spanish but the waiters are great at explaining each item, if necessary. We felt a bit bad because we were asking the waiter about everything because we had no idea what we were reading. Overall we had a great experience and would return if we came back to the area again.”

“I took my boyfriend here for his birthday dinner and it was incredible. The food was so delicious (the lobster Mac is a must have!). The server was so nice and attentive and the atmosphere was fun yet quiet. Also MUST top off the meal with the chocolate mousse!!”

“Don't be fooled... Although the "VV" designation on the menu means that the dish is vegan, there are many more things on the menu that can be veganized! Tamale? ✅ Loaded fries? ✅. Food is quite delicious! Staff is really nice but the place can get overloaded and a touch slow at peak times.”

“This was our second visit to Miss Lucy's. We were here in 2021 , too. We had the PLT which was like a BLT but with pork belly. It had a nice sauce on it. We had it with fries. We share the same with a bowl of tomato bisque. It was creamy and tasty. Don't miss it if you like tomato bisque. The homemade lemonade complements it will. We ended with sharing mocha crème d'pot. The creamy top was awesome for both of us. I am not a fan of coffee so I didn't eat the bottom portion of the dessert. The service was good and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting.”

“Vibe , food, pastries ... outstanding! The people who run this .. outstanding! Fresh ingredients and great options! Love the avocado pesto toast and the pumpkin muffin was the best i ever had!”

“Went in for the first time and it was so cute. Definitely a place to grab you coffee, juice, food or tea and sit down to chat, work, read a book. I got a smoothie it was good and fast!”

“I was away for the weekend with my wife in the area. I had heard so much about this place so I decided to give it a try. I assume the person that took my order was the owner and he was very friendly and pleasant. My sandwiches were made fairly quickly and I brought them back to where I was staying. We had two bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on a bagel and they were wonderful and the coffee was delicious as well.”

“I didn’t know if my reaction was overblown when I said that this is the best ice cream I’ve ever had, but I brought a few friends at another time and they were freaking out just as much as I was. The labne sour cherry is sublime, and the brown butter pecan was off the charts. My friends’ favorite was the rosemary nut brittle. We all bought pints to go. Truly exceptional!”

“Celebrated the New Year at an event hosted here, and enjoyed the great Korean cuisine, the bartenders were amazing, and the bathrooms were amazing works of art with glow iridescent paint.”

“Cute little coffee shop with store and gallery. Coffee is pretty good and they have packed snacks and pastries but only in morning because it sells fast. Only a couple of tables to sit.”

“I love the food here. I usually order online and then pick it up myself. It’s always ready when they note it will be. Their square slices are the best. Crispy crust and tasty toppings. The pesto chicken salad is also a favorite.”

“We just stopped there for the first time and it was an awesome experience! Fast and friendly service on this hot July day! The Banana Oreo ice cream is a new favorite for me,and everyone in my family enjoyed their orders. Will definitely be back!”

“What a gem! Was visiting from NYC and stopped by for brunch. Loved George and his team, they were so welcoming and accommodating. Food was delicious. Recommend coming here a thousand times over.”

“Relaxing lowkey spot with some major grandma vibes. Classic American breakfast food done right. Fluffy ENORMOUS pancakes, perfect home fries, and tasty crispy bacon. Service was quick and the owners are lovely. Don't be surprised if you have to wait up to 10 minutes to be seated, it's small and clearly word has gotten out about this gem. Highly recommend!”

“This review is long overdue. Bar Bene is our favorite spot to come to when we are in Hudson. They have a beautiful backyard firepit and a great wine/charcuterie menu, which combined make the perfect relaxing evening. The owner and employees are all so friendly and warm. What a fabulous place!”

“I know being I was a past waitress at the original Piccolo’s and then a general manager until retired 11/1 many will say my review is biased but being that I have had the opportunity of being in the kitchen while the food is prepared I can 100% tell you the food and sauce is made from the best of ingredients following past recipes of Chef Rodrigo and Chef Daniel. The sauce is homemade and is authentic Italian. The specials that are posted daily are made from the talents of Chef Daniel and his staff as they pride themselves on delighting the public . The staff goes above and beyond to make sure your dining experience is pleasurable. ?”

“This has gotta be 1 of the best spots to get food in NY! This place is sooooo good! Everything there is good! And everythings premade and displayed in front of you when you arrive its just pick and choose! Great set up! Great staff! Great food! Easy to find, parking may be the only issue since its on main st.”

“Amazing place, very authentic food, my family and I were very impressed with food, service and hospitality. Highly recommend. Chicken quesadillas and the heavy soup (pozole) out of this world.”

“The most amazing cinnamon rolls and breakfast in general! Stopped here 2 days in a row while in town for the weekend and both days we had an amazing brunch (sour cream pancakes, breakfast burrito, egg sandwich, maple latte) - I’m obsessed and can’t wait to come back. Inside is dog friendly ?”

“What a vibe. We came in the winter and felt soooo cozy! The food, cocktails and wine were excellent! I am so pleased with our meal.Service is relaxed, no kids menu.Kid-friendliness: No kids menu, current menu has a real adult focus. However, there was lots of things to look at and explore, so my kids had a good time.”
