Not far north of New York City lies a unique farm-to-table restaurant that merits a trip for those who love authentic food with great flavors. While it’s nearly two hours from New York City, if you’re looking to take a fun trip upstate or are headed to central New York for the weekend, Westtown Fare is an ideal pit stop along the way. Once you arrive and take a look at the specials, you’ll understand why this eatery has developed such a good reputation when it comes to New York favorites.
Tucked away in New York’s Hudson Valley, Westtown Fare specializes in farm-to-table cuisine. Over the last few years, they've made a tradition of using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create some truly unique dishes.
After growing tired of working for others in the restaurant business, Stephen and Kristina Ernst purchased the restaurant formerly called The Folderol in 2014 and began to transform the place with their own vision for an original restaurant.
The restaurant partners with a number of regional farms in the area, including Bracco Farms, Dagele Farms, and Sweetman’s Farm. They also partner with Soons Orchard, Warwick Valley Winery and Distillery, Northern Farmhouse Pasta, and Noble Coffee.
After spending the first leg of quarantine closure giving the restaurant a new coat of paint and improving their garden, Westtown Fare reopened over the summer with a fresh look and feel.
All in all, it's an incredibly charming atmosphere that creates original, fresh and high-quality culinary experiences for everyone who ventures to Westtown for some good eats.
Once you’ve had your fill at Westtown Fare, head down to Warwick Valley Winery and Distillery for a few drinks, or explore Huckleberry Ridge State Forest and the neighboring Hawthorne Lake.
