I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
The Bay State is the place to be if you’re a foodie. Between numerous restaurants that serve fresh seafood to a variety of eateries that serve international cuisine, there’s good food to be found everywhere. Today we are going to take a look at the town of Great Barrington as a diverse culinary destination in Massachusetts. Here you will find American, Mediterranean, Lebanese, Thai, Mexican, Japanese, Italian, French, Greek, Indian, and French bakery and restaurant options. It’s quite possible that this small Berkshires town is also one of the most diverse small-town culinary destinations in the country.
Patisserie Lenox is a wonderful French bakery and café with plenty of traditional French pastries, breads, and cakes to choose from. Stop by for some lunch and coffee or a Parisian hot chocolate and take home some macarons to enjoy at home.
If you love Mediterranean and Lebanese food, you'll love the menu at Naji's Mediterranean Cuisine & Catering . You can have hummus, tabouli, or a combo of several options as an appetizer. For your main course, perhaps a Greek gyro, chicken shawarma, or the kibbee dinner would be to your liking. And don't forget the baklava for dessert.
In Great Barrington you'll also find a great Thai restaurant. Siam Square is known for its friendly service, large portions, and delicious food. From potstickers to chicken satay, from curry to noodle dishes and more, you'll want to come back again and again!
If you're looking for a great Mexican restaurant, look no further than Xicohthencatl Mexican. For nearly 20 years, this restaurant has served authentic Mexican cuisine using fresh local ingredients from area farms. It's also been voted Best Mexican Restaurant, Best Guacamole, and Best Mole from various media outlets.
Sometime there's nothing more satisfying than some delicious Greek food. At Aegean Breeze, you may feel as though you've just arrived in Greece as you dine on authentic Greek cuisine right here in Massachusetts. Start with a traditional Greek salad, chargrilled octopus, or taramosalata before your main course. For main entrees, you can order burgers, wraps, a whole chargrilled fish, moussaka, and more. Thursdays are quite popular as that's when the restaurant offers its lobster special.
Four Brothers Pizza Inn may have several locations but the one in Great Barrington is the only location in the Bay State. Whether it's pizza, pasta, antipasto, chicken parmesan, or even a sandwich, you'll love the options on the extensive menu.
