Lake Placid's dining scene is diverse and innovative, with many restaurants featuring locally sourced food from small, family-run farms. Choose from Adirondack style barbecue, farm-to-table, comfort food, and gourmet innovation, to name a few of the delights local chefs lovingly craft. Lake Placid's restaurants provide an array of options amidst a spectacular backdrop that can only be found in the Adirondacks.
Dining Update
Dining in the Adirondacks is back open! We do have a few changes to ensure extra safety for everyone. Indoor dining is available, but please be aware that restaurants have smaller capacity limits right now, to give everyone a little extra space. Please respect requests to wear a mask until you are seated.
Outdoor dining is abundant, so enjoy fresh Adirondack air with your meal. In addition, many local favorites are continuing to offer take-out and delivery services. For details and availability, please contact restaurants individually.
Eat well and have fun!
From farm to table
Lake Placid is rightfully one of the best locations to dine in the Adirondacks for a reason. The restaurants in town are combining the best in tradition with flavorful experiments, locally sourcing from small farms and upholding the Lake Placid tradition of elegance with a mountain twist.
Dining with a view
Enjoy your meal surrounded by mountain vistas and pristine lakes. Watch the sunset and dine under the stars by a cozy fire.
