The town of Bedford is known for its natural beauty and relaxed, small-town charm. But there’s another reason to visit: the food! The restaurants of Bedford, NH, are part of a thriving, diverse food scene. Whether you’re seeking a steakhouse or salivating for seafood, have an itch for Italian, or an appetite for Asian, you’re sure to find it here.
Since there’s a long list of restaurant options, it’s a good idea to do some research ahead of time. And while there are plenty of casual dining options to keep you well-fed, your time may be more satisfyingly spent finding the best of the best to enjoy.
While the classic staples are in evidence, the best Bedford restaurants are creative hubs at the cutting edge of food trends. Local chefs are constantly finding new ways to incorporate trends into their menus, seeking inspiration from around the world as well as from local favorites.
Plant-based and vegan-friendly dishes are making waves across the country, and you’ll find plenty to enjoy in Bedford, too. Even if you’re not vegetarian, do yourself a favor and don’t miss the Tempura Fried Cauliflower at the Bedford Village Inn Tavern, served with mouth-watering bang bang sauce and pickled peppers. If you’re a carnivore, never fear. The area is known for its outstanding seafood, and there’s also plenty of red meat on our menus to enjoy.
There’s also been an increased interest in sustainable food options. And not just among the health-conscious. At the Bedford Village Inn, we pride ourselves on supporting local farmers and producers. Our restaurants source many staple ingredients in New Hampshire and the whole New England area, and all our seafood comes from certified vendors who adhere to strict quality and sustainability guidelines.
Visitor or local, you’ll have your pick of fine dining restaurants in Bedford, NH, no matter the occasion. Some tried-and-trusted restaurants have been in town for decades, while others offer something new for your next evening out. Even if there’s nothing specific to celebrate, why not treat yourself to a date night or evening out with friends just because?
Whatever you’re celebrating, you can’t go wrong with a reservation at the Bedford Village Inn Dining Room. You’ll need to book your table because the Inn’s original restaurant is routinely filled to capacity, a testament to its enduring popularity. Each of the seven immaculately-restored dining rooms that make up the restaurant has its own style, character, and capacity. The menus feature modern New England cuisine with some Italian flair.
Add the perfect finishing touch to your meal with a glass of wine from our expansive cellars – our knowledgeable team can help you choose the ideal match from our collection of over 8,000 bottles. The restaurant has been recognized with Wine Spectator and DiRōNA (Distinguished Restaurants of North America) awards.
If you’re in the mood for Italian, Trattoria Fondi is the place for you. This intimate ristorante is elegant without being pretentious. The menu features contemporary takes on Italian regional specialties using top-quality, fresh, local ingredients. It is a little more relaxed than the Dining Room but has enough of a refined atmosphere and menu to add a little sparkle to your night out.
Bedford’s restaurants can go toe to toe with just about anywhere else in the country. For one thing, the beauty of the town adds a little extra something to the dining experience. Whether having a casual breakfast or a fine dining night on the town, you’re surrounded by natural beauty, fascinating history, and the warmth of the friendly local community.
On the plate, though, is where you’ll really find the quality. Regardless of which cuisine you choose to try, whether it’s a classic American menu or something from further afield, there are many gems throughout the town. The Bedford Village Inn is home to the AAA Four Diamond-rated Dining Room, the Trattoria Fondi, and the Tavern, each of which has been recognized in its unique categories. There’s a reason that the Inn was recently voted “Best Date Ambiance.”
