Bucks County Restaurants

Bucks County has no regional specialties to call its own, but you can discover some sophisticated restaurants as well as casual country spots. What makes dining here special are the enchanting settings. Fine meals of French, Italian, or American fare are served in restored mills, well-worn taverns, canal-side courtyards, small cafés, and elegant Victorian mansions. In summer and fall it's best to make reservations for weekend dining.

  • 1. C'est la Vie

    $

    Get a cup of coffee and a yummy pastry or light meal at C'est la Vie, a French bakery down a little alley off Main Street that proves that excellent things come in small packages. Grab and go, eat inside in the cozily cramped space, or sit outside at a table overlooking the river.

  • 2. Caleb's American Kitchen

    $$$

    The exterior resembles a diner, but don't be mislead: this BYO restaurant—helmed by former Marsha Brown executive chef Caleb Lentchner—serves not only breakfast and a variety of sandwiches and salads, but also locally-inspired New American fare at dinner in a country-village setting. Ladies who lunch come for the harvest chicken and "big" apple salad, avocado toast, fish tacos, or the signature burger.

  • 3. Francisco's on the River

    $$$

    Cozy rooms, including an enclosed front porch, beamed ceiling, white tablecloths, and windows all around, give a refined but undeniably country feel to this river-view, BYOB Italian restaurant. Chef-owner Francisco Argueta breathes new life into old favorites like a thin-sliced, layered eggplant parmigiano; linguine al frutti di mare fradiavolo; and lasagna with a hint of smoked bacon—just keep in mind that portions can be large. Nightly specials lean to seafood, and desserts are worthwhile if you have room.

    1251 River Rd., Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, 18977, USA
    215-321–8789

    Known For

    • Whole-wheat garlic bread (worth the charge)
    • Wide variety of salads for appetizers
    • Coconut cake

  • 4. Honey

    $$$$

    If you come to this sweet D-town spot expecting familiar flavors, you'll be delightfully disappointed. Hip Honey is refreshingly different. The eating experience is all about sampling by way of a seasonally changing menu of small plates meant to be shared. "Black Velvet" oysters quiver beneath Guinness reduction and smoked steelhead roe. Kale salad benefits from puffed rice, five-spiced cashews, and shaved Asian pear. The appetizer-size portions might range from a $5 exotic olive plate to $32 foie-gras sliders. Order at least two plates per person and then see if you want more. Drinks include all-Pennsylvania beers, all-American wines, and all-unexpected specialty cocktails. Even the desserts can be hot and spicy.

  • 5. It's Nutts

    $$

    If this place had been here in 1776, you can bet that George Washington and company would have stopped in for some lemon-chiffon pancakes, ice-cream treats, or tomato pie (a yummy thin-crust pizza native to the Trenton area) before heading off to stomp the Hessians. Don't let the drive-in facade fool you: there's more here than a good old-fashioned soda fountain, and the "little dive," as it calls itself, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's just a little north of the Washington Crossing bridge on the New Jersey side.

    1382 River Rd., Titusville, New Jersey, 08560, USA
    609-737–0505

    Known For

    • Cash-only, comfort food classic

  • 6. Jules Thin Crust Pizza

    $

    Jules pizza combines the bounty from local farms and dairies with a killer thin crust. The menu comprises 28 interesting pizza varieties made with local organic ingredients plus a few seasonal additions. Meat #8 (buffalo chicken, spicy buffalo sauce, gorgonzola, chopped celery, arugula, and mozzarella) and veggie #1 (feta, kalamata olives, chopped tomato, red onion, romaine, and tomato sauce) reflect international inspiration, while veggie #4 (Brie, sliced pears, toasted almonds, and rosemary) must have sprung from the mind of founder John Ordway. The oblong pizzas are sold by the pie or the 3-inch-wide slice. Gluten-free crust is available.

  • 7. Karla's

    $$

    A casual hangout in the heart of New Hope, Karla's has been open since 1978, offering hearty American food (meat loaf, burgers, and sandwiches) enlivened with some interesting international ingredients. Dine on dishes like panko-crusted mac and cheese, Korean barbecue tacos, and short ribs in cozy rooms with an assemblage of mismatched tables under a corrugated-plastic ceiling, with plants in retro macramé hangers. Part indoors and part out, half restaurant and half bar, some shabby and some chic, Karla's feels like an old comfortable pair of jeans.

    5 W. Mechanic St., New Hope, Pennsylvania, 18938, USA
    215-862–2612

    Known For

    • Monday Locals' Night good-value prix fixe
    • Hummus trio appetizer
    • Creative martini list
  • 8. Lilly's Café America

    $

    The colorful metal cactus standing guard over the sidewalk seating is a tip-off that the name of this place refers to Latin America. Run by the same folks who own the adjoining Lilly's Gourmet, Café America has the same casual feel, but this place also has a full bar. Sip some sangria or a pomegranate mojito while you choose from among the platos grandes (which translates as "big dishes"). Chimichurri steak, baby greens topped with blackened salmon and a lime cilantro vinaigrette, a Cuban pressed sandwich, chicken tamale, and tostones are some of the options.

  • 9. Lilly's Gourmet

    $

    From the whisk-shaped door handles to the colander lamps to the sandwiches named after cartoon characters, Lilly's is full of fun. This busy downtown counter-service lunch spot also serves inventive salads and soups, which you can eat in the small, lively dining room or take with you. Try the Mr. Magoo wrap (marinated veggies, black bean salad, fresh mozzarella, spinach, and chipotle spread) or the Aquaman sandwich (blackened salmon, cucumber ribbons, sliced tomato, goat cheese, and balsamic vinegarette on multigrain bread). Make sure you read the blackboards, which list the specials. Beer and wine are available, and in the morning you can get a light breakfast of muffins, bagels, and fresh fruit.

  • 10. Sprig & Vine

    $$$

    Chic and BYO, this vegan restaurant known for fresh, sophisticated fare attracts plenty of non-vegetarians to its space in Union Square, an old-converted-warehouse-meets-new-construction complex. The menu is small—an assortment of small plates and salads, and a handful of large-plate dinner options such as a roasted radish and turnip curry—but offers interesting dishes with unusual, complex flavors, often made with ingredients from local farms.

    450 Union Square Dr., New Hope, Pennsylvania, 18938, USA
    215-693–1427
