  • 1. Diane's Restaurant

    $$

    Fresh flowers grace the wooden tables and light streams through the large windows at this cheerful bakery and eatery. Owner Diane Barrett's menu includes Hatch-green-chile Benedict, "Grandma's" spaghetti, steaks, and a deftly prepared lemon-caper chicken. The sandwiches are all made with wonderfully tasty house-baked bread; if you're in the mood for something sweet, don't hesitate—this chef really shines when it comes to desserts. Bottled microbrews and well-chosen wines are available. There's a popular Sunday Champagne brunch.

  • 3. Happy Belly Deli

    $

    Tuck away the breakfast burrito in a sundried-tomato tortilla; the spinach, onion, and feta cheese omelet; the kielbasa scramble; or one of the tasty bagels, and you'll be sated for hours—there's potent coffee, too. Lunch options include soups, salads, and sandwiches. Try the hummus or grilled polenta-and-provolone sandwiches, or build your own. This is a cozy spot with a handful of tables and no pretensions, but a pleasant patio doubles the size.

Late in the day, the ultracasual dining area is usually filled with hungry anglers who've stopped to relax and chow down after a day of fishing. Come in earlier in the day to buy a bucket of home-fried chicken to take with you to the lake.
