Lake Placid's dining scene is diverse and innovative, with many restaurants featuring locally sourced food. Choose from Adirondack style barbecue, farm-to-table, special food events, and gourmet innovation to name a few. Lake Placid's restaurants provide an array of options amidst a spectacular backdrop that can only be found in the Adirondack Mountains.
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.
