Pamper Yourself With The Scrumptious Meals Served At Fine Restaurants In NH

By Heather Donovan


The New Hampshire Seacoast region is 13 miles of abundant good food choices. The seafood is a given, but there are also many kitchens preparing European, Mediterranean, Mexican, Asian and American comfort foods. Visitors come regularly to tour the coast, soak in the beautiful views and enjoy a great meal. For many, Rye and Portsmouth are the center points of tourism to the rocky shoreline and historic points inland. With many tourists heading for the spots that cluster near the sandy beaches, there are just as many locals who have their favorite foodie hangouts.



The Seacoast Region is chock full of ocean and water views. From the Atlantic on the east to the inland lakes and meandering inlets there is plenty to explore. One could imagine that seafood is the primary food choice here, but local restaurants are providing that and much more. Their owners focus on sourcing the freshest foods available and often use them in gluten free recipes for those that seek them. One sturdy spot is the Serenity Market and Cafe.

Located just off coast Highway One, near the Urban Forestry Center, Sagamore Creek, Berry Brook and Little Harbor, this plucky place is known for its delicious sandwiches, smoothies, fresh salads and wonderful catering services. It is one of the long time gathering spots for some of the Seacoast Storytellers who share their tales in the region. Great service and a friendly atmosphere keep regulars coming back often.

Just as it is in Rye, tourists visit the city of Portsmouth to soak in the coastal sunshine, enjoy the views offered by sandy, rocky beaches and learn about history. While Rye was founded when fishermen discovered Ordione Point, Plymouth traces its origins to the Federalist Period. People come for the magical experiences of the point as frequently as they visit the city to tour its many historic museums and architecture.

In the summer tourist season, many flock to see the site made famous by Paul Revere, who came to warn settlers that British invaders were coming. There are many vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, and some take day trips to Isles of Shoals, where Captain John Smith once landed. Portsmouth is filled with lovely cafes, diners and eateries that provide delicious meals for those coming to this seaside area. They also enjoy the Federalist architecture and historical ship building museums there.

For those seeking a bit of spirit refreshment, the area is home to several wineries, breweries and distilleries. Those with city addresses include the Redhook and Portsmouth Breweries and Earth Eagle Brewings. There are many others worth visiting located within a short distance. These serve fine food, locally sourced, or offer tours and tastings.

As generations of immigrants from all over the globe have arrived to settle in Portsmouth and Rye, they have founded businesses devoted to the flavors of their homelands. Greek, Italian, Caribbean, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese and European cuisines flow from their kitchens supported by the fresh produce, fish and meat of the area farmers and fishermen. Tourists to the area can enjoy tasty meals and historic discoveries alike.

For regulars, visiting their favorite ocean vista always comes hand in hand with a stop to eat. Thanks to the abundance of fresh local produce, fish and meats, the eateries offer a wonderful variety of choices. Combined with the historic points of interest, visitors to this quintessential New England region have much to enjoy.
