Breakfast, Coffee breaks
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.
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.
Hometown service with city savvy
This is some sweet deal. Coffee, pastries, just two tables, and a candy counter. Tons of character.
Shops
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.
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.
Straight from the source
A charming cafe right inside Rhinebeck Health Foods store. So you know it's good.
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.
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
Cafe and dining
Haute cuisine Spanish/American style, in dashing environments inside and out. Excellent food, authentic Hispanic beers, spirited margeritas.
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.
The new dining frontier
Fine food in the French tradition can't ever go out of style. Enjoy that experience here.
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.
Trattoria
A little bit of Italy, a little bit of sidewalk Manhattan, plus a little bit of Rhinebeck. You can't go wrong.
Classic French bistro
40 West brings excitement to Rhinebeck's dining scene. Stylish cuisine, a strong presence, a youthful vigor.
Japanese dining
One of Rhinebeck's most strikingly realized exotic ambiences. A branch of the very successful "Osaka" restaurant in Tivoli.
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.
