Rhinebeck Dining Guide


Breakfast & Coffee BreaksLunchFine dining  


Breakfast, Coffee breaks

Pete's Cafe
Perfectly ordinary
A classic country cafe--for Rhinebeck. Full of ex-New Yorkers, you'll feel right at home. Good food, and all of Rhinebeck outside just waiting for you to finish that coffee and the Times.
 
Pandemain Bakery
Fresh baked breads and pastries.
If you like to make fresh coffee and baked goods the centerpiece of your breakfast, enjoy the bright cheerful mood of Pandemain.
 
Samuel's
Hometown service with city savvy
This is some sweet deal. Coffee, pastries, just two tables, and a candy counter. Tons of character.
 

Cafes & Shops

Calico
Restaurant & patisserie
Calico is really a dinner place, but forget it, you'll never get in, it's always reserved way ahead. So make do with lunch, and those fabulous pastries.
Fosters Coach House
Steak house with an equine motif
Inside REALLY dark. Traditional dark-wood bar and restaurant. And stable and horse-carriage themes. Unusual, a treat for horse-lovers.
Garden Street Cafe
Straight from the source
A charming cafe right inside Rhinebeck Health Foods store. So you know it's good.
Rhinebeck Grill & Cantina
Southwestern cuisine in cafe setting
If you're looking for where to have that discussion about the significance of the utopian novel this might be the place. Good food and a sidewalk cafe frequented by Bard and Vassar students.
Village Pizza
And much else
Pizza of course, and first rate, a reminder of why you used to like it so much. But also Jane's ice cream, Italian desserts, and good coffee.
 

Fine Dining

Terrapin
Exotic, and fine
Yes, it's a church, or was. Now it's an elegant restaurant, plus a bistro. Renowned for fine dining, in an elegant lofty setting. The dishes often borrow from exotic cuisines.
 
Traphagen Restaurant
Dine in the oldest Inn in America
The food has always been excellent here, and you can have it served in any one of the many bars and nooks squirreled away in this romantic inn.
 
Gigi
Trattoria
A little bit of Italy, a little bit of sidewalk Manhattan, plus a little bit of Rhinebeck. You can't go wrong.
Le Petit Bistro
Classic French bistro
40 West brings excitement to Rhinebeck's dining scene. Stylish cuisine, a strong presence, a youthful vigor.
Osaka
Japanese dining
One of Rhinebeck's most strikingly realized exotic ambiences. A branch of the very successful "Osaka" restaurant in Tivoli.
Mill House Panda
Gourmet Chinese
Fine, fine, fine chinese dining, very reasonably priced, with good service. Excellent for dining before or after seeing a movie round the corner at Upstate Films.
