3 Best Restaurants in The Litchfield Hills, Connecticut

This popular creamery, located on a massive family-owned and -operated dairy farm since 1864, creates its own made-on-the-farm frozen desserts (that's ice cream!) daily. Choose from more than 30 "regular" flavors, like coffee almond fudge and maple walnut, and as many "special" flavors, like Caramalt and Sunset on the Peach (with a raspberry swirl).  This is not a nut-free facility.

Locals, leaf peepers, and folks just passing through stop at The White Horse, a country pub and restaurant that draws its varied menu from British pub, American comfort, and French bistro favorites. Dine on the deck, on the patio, or along the river in the warm months—or inside, in front of the fire during the winter chill.

The newest creation of local chef and restaurateur John Bourdeau is manned by another local chef, Mike Sorenson, who produces globally inspired dishes for an ever-changing, seasonal menu. Expect dishes like potstickers or caviar grilled cheese, outstanding smashburgers, and in-house baked bread. The indoor-outdoor space will suit diners for all seasons.
