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.
Many Adirondack services are facing staffing shortages this year. As you enjoy your time in Lake Placid, please remember that everyone who serves you is doing their very best. Thank you for being kind and visiting us!
