1 Best Restaurant in The Monadnocks and Merrimack Valley, New Hampshire

Hungry Diner

$ Fodor's choice

A departure from the old-school greasy-spoon diners that proliferate in New England, this contemporary space with a white-tile and light-wood interior and a big, inviting outdoor seating area serves delicious, eclectic comfort fare that relies heavily on seasonal, local ingredients, including pasture-raised meats. Think Korean barbecue tacos with house-made kimchi and pickled carrots, or the buttermilk-fried chicken sandwich with a tangy secret sauce and dill pickles.

The owners run 105-acre Inn at Valley Farms, 5 miles away, which also offers elegant B&B accommodations.
