Restaurants in New Paltz

“Visited Garvan’s today for the first time for a late lunch in the Pub. We started with Mexican Street Carrots. So delicious! My husband had the traditional Irish breakfast and I had the lamb stew. Both meals were excellent. Wish we could have had dessert, but we were so stuffed. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. We’re looking forward to visiting again.”

“Eclectic menu! I so loved my elderflower violette gin cocktail. I had the salmon it was delicious and the sunset was amazing from my out door table. Very romantic atmosphere. My new favorite in town.”

“best in the 845! always great”

“100% recommend novellas! We just recently celebrated our wedding there and we had the best. Time. They made the entire wedding process so easy for us, with menu items, decor, timelines, everything. You name it, they did it! Bryce, Chloe, and their entire team were so helpful and kind. So willing to step up to plate, and the food was DELICIOUS. Super affordable and convenient as well, and they answered any and every question they had. Our special day was made even better thanks to the wonderful work of their staff and the beautiful scenery of their venue. My guests and family were overjoyed and welcomed happily by all of them, and I’m incredibly grateful! This place has become like family, and we’ll be back as often as we can now because of their professionalism and kind hospitality! Thank you guys!!”

“I love this restaurant, it’s definitely one of my all time favorites. It has amazing flatbread pizza with all the gourmet toppings you can think AND they have a few dinner specials that are absolutely delicious. Lastly, everything is fresh, tasty and not overly priced. If you haven’t been here you are missing out.”

“Great food - as in tasty & good for u!”

“I love the chopped salads and friendly helpful employees! Everyone is always so happy at the counter and sometimes it just really makes my day. Definitely get a take out cocktail for later - you won't regret it.”

“Love this Place with my whole heart!”

“Tonight, 4 of us dined in New Paltz at Agave, what a fabulous experience! The service was terrific and the guacamole was outstanding! The elote street corn was delish, and not too spicy. We had two appetizers and then entrées, and they were all great. Give this spot a try- definitely get the guac!”

“I go to Rino's for the amazing customer service - I go back to Rino's for the delicious food. While you're waitingon the0tk0p, check out the little Italian grocery section full of imported oils and vinegar and traditional ils school pasta shapes like orecchiette.”

“love this place! I'm new to town and the employees have all been consistently friendly and helped me feel welcome every time i come in. its nice to be remembered and greeted. the food is always delicious, including their desserts. they have daily specials on weekdays that are hearty and filling.”

“Loved the noodle bowl and the relaxed atmosphere, will be back!!!!!!”

“Great place to get quality teas & drinks. Always ask what they recommend - they won’t steer you wrong. And a great way to try new things!”

“Fabulous all around! We highly recommend!”

“The owners, James and Michelle, and staff are always welcoming. Great selection of coffee and tea. They'll grind your selection of beans or take em home whole. James' paninis just great. Starbucks has nothing on Mudd except hype. You want good ☕️ and reasonably priced selection of quality products when you need a break Mudd Puddle is worth a drop in.”

“fantastic pizza and music”

“Burgers are huge! Craft beers are good. So much food.”

“Will definitely be back! Ladies at the front were nice as well.”

“This place is beautiful on a perfect-weather day, which we were fortunate to experience! It wasn't too hot, and there was a wonderful mix of sunshine and shade. The apple orchard, the lake, and the delicious food made for an ideal setting. Plus, the ciders were delightful.

We ordered a mushroom pizza and a veggie burger, both of which were excellent. The service was quick, and the staff was very friendly. Kids were running and playing, and many people had their dogs with them. It felt like a picnic in the orchard. The relaxed atmosphere enhanced the taste of the food and the overall experience.”

“Awesome place! My wife loved her black cherry cone. Super delish fudge brownie sundae for me, thank you Patty! Also love our elephant wall art we picked up here. Will be back yum!”

“Prying yourself off of the main strip in New Paltz, The Parish restaurant shows that the back streets have something to offer as well.
To the left side of Main Street as you're heading out of town, right before you get to the old bridge, you'll see a little area that's called The Water Street Market. Making your way past all the various shops along the way, you will find The Parish upstairs overlooking the area. There is also a small parking lot for The Water Street Market in the very back. If you take the side roads and you're lucky, you may be able to find a parking spot there.
We started our lunch with The Hush Puppies and Gator Bites. The Hush Puppies were golden brown, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The Honey butter was a nice compliment, adding that smooth creaminess and making them a warm delicious treat. The Gator Bites had a crisp outside batter with a little flavor kick from some Cajun spices. The remoulade dipping sauce was a nice pairing for the bites with that texture and flavor that only Gator has.
For our main dishes we had the Jambalaya and the Parish Burger with the side salad. The Jambalaya had a little spicy warmth to bring to the mix with the chicken and Andouille Sausage doing their part for flavor. The Parish Burger with the poblano peppers, onions, and cheese was superb. The aioli really helped to bring forward and meld all the flavors together including the juices of the perfectly cooked hamburger. Each bite added to the enjoyment. The salad having been tossed in a vinaigrette rested on the same plate making a pleasant addition.
For dessert we had the Blueberry Cheesecake. It was moderate in density with just the right amount of blueberry on it. The whipped cream with the fresh blueberries and drizzle of caramel was a nice touch of added freshness.
To surmise, The Parish with its Cajun vibe is a cozy little nook away from the hustle and bustle of the main strip.
I would also like to add The Parish has a full bar, and the servers were very pleasant doing their jobs to a T.”

“we had dinner at the bar tonight. The atmosphere and food was outstanding. The guacamole is fresh made and plentiful and the enchiladas with mole was delicious. Pepe at the bar was a delight to talk to and he makes a great margarita. Will be back soon!!”

“Just spent the day at Lake Minnewaska and ended up here for dinner. We loved it. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. My daughter said it was the best sushi she has had in a long time. And the staff was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.”

“Have been going almost weekly for dinner. Tasty Mexican food, very friendly staff and an owner who makes everyone feel welcome. Great place, reasonably priced.”

“Fantastic & friendly staff, delicious food with a great variety of menu items & so very accommodating to parties! I give 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. We will return again & again💐”

“It was my husband and I first time dining here and we absolutely love this place. We are looking forward to dining here again. (they have dining outside also with a outdoor bar) Everything from the atmosphere, the decor, the outstanding service and the food was 5 stars+. You will not be disappointed!”

“You can never go wrong with the Pho --- but also try the bahn mi, the spring rolls, and the shabatak!”

“Amazing authentic and traditional Thai food/dishes that hit the spot! The Singha and Chang beers were nice and cold too!”

“Love that this opened in New Paltz! It's our favorite boba tea and the owners are friendly. Can't wait to try their extensive ice cream flavors.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love it!”

“I normally get the chicken parm dinner, eggplant parm dinner, wings with teriyaki sauce and hot sauce on the side, or a pizza pie. Everything I order is amazing whether I dine in or order out. A+++”

“Shout out to Bubbakoos in New Paltz NY. I forget to hit submit on my online order so when I went in to pick up there was no order for me. When I saw my mistake they made my order right away. That was so awesome of them. I really appreciated the awesome customer service- especially when the error was all mine.”

“Swapped two brunch toasts with my boss. So fresh and tasty! I love having a light, healthy option in town for a quick breakfast/lunch.”

“Awesome food awesome service 😀 😎”

“😀great atmosphere, piano bar, great service and delicious food!”

“delicious food!!! This location is still take out only (staffing shortage), but it hasn't diminished the quality of their food or friendly service one bit. They use Carry Out Kings for local delivery.”

“Supreme quality burger, 🍔 excellent staff, wonderful business - can’t recommend enough. 5 out of 5 enthusiastic thumbs up.”

“They were there for everyone in the shut down with the government and everyone is beyond thank full for what they been doing in these very hard times. Keep up the great work !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“10/10 for this place!!!! Food is incredible, well flavored and incredible. This place is a must stop! We tried the oxtails which fell right off the bone and very tasty. Jerk chicken wrap is also REAL good and that sauce with it is something else. If you love Caribbean and jerk food, this place will make you happy!!”

“this bar is amazing. my wife and i sell art there from time to time!”

“We came to Main Street Bistro for breakfast on the recommendation of our Airbnb host.

The menu is creative. My boyfriend's eyes stopped two items down the menu at Protein X. I kept going and asked if he was getting Kiki's breakfast stir fry and he changed his order. He rated it 9/10.

Since Mr eyes continued to wander, the citrus walnut bread of the Zoo Canoe was intriguing. I'm a picky eater. I've never put tomatoes in my eggs or tried hollandaise sauce but my daring spirit prevailed and I'm glad it did. Breakfast was DELICIOUS. I too would give mine 9/10. (Nothing is perfect although a well done version of my favorite ANYTHING may get 10/10.)

It was Saturday morning and busy. Our server Tim was good even though it was busy. Would definitely come back if we were in the area.”

“Went there for lunch/dinner. Had the Birria Tacos. One word OUTSTANDING!!! I cleaned my plate Delicious Great Service Highly Recommended with Alaina & Val Cupo”

“We popped in with hungry teenagers and someone with a gluten allergy today and everything we ordered was delicious! Prices were very reasonable and the service was great!”

“This place is great. You choose from a number of proteins (roast pork, goat, oxtails, catfish, and stewed or baked chicken) I’ve had the stewed chicken and the roasted pork, and both were excellent. The meal comes with your choice of 3 different rices, and black or pinto beans which are also excellent. There are others sides I have not tried in my two visits, but I’m going to presume they are also good. The prices are low for the quality and quantity. Highly recommended.”

“Best Indian food I ever had!! Perfect amount of spice and it was delicious and full of flavor! I ordered takeout but the atmosphere seemed pleasant and the woman who helped me was friendly. I highly recommend!”

“Hit or miss on the quality taste of food. Mostly spot on but sometimes they have a day off with quality. If you order online with their app don't expect the order to be filled. App says 25 mins, showed up ar the 25 min mark and waited in line for 20 mins to find out mine and the person behind me the order wasn't even filled/made. Had to wait another 15 mins and still charged full price! The woman behind me had sane issue as well”

“We've been going here for many years and the food is always great, delicious and well prepared. Customer service is professional and efficient. My family has different dietary needs but with their expansive (but not expensive!) menu there are plenty of choices for everyone.”

“Very sweet people .. good service .. supreme food”

“I often come here with my brother, staff are friendly and food is good! A couple times it’s been a bit overcooked but other than that it’s great.”

“Rocco's Pizza was a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious and tasted fresh and homemade. The service was friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Everything from the food to the atmosphere was fantastic. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Rocco's Pizza to anyone looking for a great meal!”

“Best restaurant and coolest Owner Wayne and bartender dave”
