3 Best Restaurants in Belleayre Mountain Ski Area, The Catskills

Zephyr

$$ Fodor's choice
A century-old building with a two-level front porch (where you can dine in warm weather) and plenty of period charm is home to this farm-to-table, American comfort food eatery. The dining room is warm and welcoming, with wood floors, ceiling fans hung from a tongue-and-groove ceiling, and a long bar where locals sample craft beers from regional breweries. Menu choices include a Scottish cedar plank salmon and free-range local chicken pot pie, but you may want to begin with a round of tasty appetizers—the zucchini fritters are delicious. Everything comes from local producers, so the food is always as fresh as is could be and vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful.

Pine Hill Arms Restaurant

$$

This 1882 country inn has two dining rooms—the wood-paneled Catskill Mountain Room and the bright and airy Greenhouse Room—and one menu, which includes charcoal-broiled steaks, blackened red snapper, and other traditional fare. A hearty country-style breakfast is great fuel for a day on the slopes. The après-ski crowd packs the place on winter weekends, when you can find live music and the bar area warmed by an old-fashioned wood stove.

The Cheese Barrel

$

Locals come to this upscale deli-grocery for breakfast and lunch, or to pick up specialty ingredients. You can eat a sandwich or sip an organic coffee drink at one of the café tables in the simple dining area. While waiting, study shelves of vinegars, olives, old-fashioned candy, and Italian lemonade.
