As we enter a new year, we’re making a list of all the things we’ve loved about 2018 and all the things we want to try in 2019. Some of the things on our to-do list are totally unique things, others are things that are new-to-us. High on that list are restaurants that we’ve heard about but just haven’t had a chance to actually visit. These restaurants aren’t necessarily brand new, and they might not be the most luxury, but they just might be the most indicative of New Hampshire life and we’re excited about that! If you’re also looking for some new-to-you spots to try this year, consider starting with this list of restaurants we’ve covered in 2018.
This mansion that was once a stop on the Underground Railroad has also hosted historical figures like Mary Todd Lincoln and Presidents Grover Cleveland and Ulysses S. Grant. Today it's one of the best Italian restaurants in the state. From hand-crafted pizza to exquisite desserts, you must stop by this historic spot at least once this year. You can learn more about it here! Or, visit them at: 18 Main St., Center Harbor, New Hampshire.
Brighten up a drab New Hampshire day by ducking inside one of the brightest, most vibrant restaurants on this list. The food is authentic, spicy and filling. And the drinks? Both alcoholic and non are delicious. Learn more about it here!
This Great North Woods newcomer is something we're extremely grateful for. The inside is rustic and fun, but the food is second to none! They've got a great menu with things like burgers and chicken, but it's the blueberry pizza that folks rave about. It comes with smoked mozzarella, house bacon, and smoked maple syrup. It might sounds strange, but you might be surprised at how this unique combination works together. Visit them at: 8 Back Lake Rd., Pittsburg, New Hampshire. And learn more about them here!
Family owned and operated since 1954, this homey restaurant is a must-visit for those who miss Thanksgiving.

Or, visit them at: 233 Daniel Webster Hwy. in Meredith, New Hampshire.
This restaurant was once home to Superior Court for Sullivan County. Built in 1826 it was also a public school and home of the district court.

For those who don't want to be held to eating just one type of food, Cabin Fever has you covered. From burgers to pizzas to seafood, you'll find anything you want right here.
