1. Last Chance Cheese and Antiques Café
$ | |Most of the antiques are gone, but the classic foods for sale—from lollipops to jams and jellies to every kind of cheese imaginable—make this place feel like a blast from the past. You can hang out on the front porch, choose from a selection of more than 300 beers, and dig into a hearty "knish-wich" of potato knish, coleslaw, melted cheddar, pastrami, and turkey. You also can't go wrong ordering one of several cheese plates to share with the table. Drop by in the evening, as there's often live music.

2. Peekamoose Restaurant and Tap Room
$$$$ | |With ceilings held aloft with original wood beams, huge windows drawing the outdoors in, and rustic decor like a chandelier made from antlers, this beautifully renovated farmhouse offers constant reminders of its bucolic setting, while its proprietors, who have worked in some of New York City's best restaurants offer a fine dining experience with a laidback, unfussy vibe. Devin and Marybeth Mills' impressive and everchanging farm-to-table menu often includes popular dishes like slow-braised beef short ribs—so tender the meat falls off the bone—hanger steak with sauteed kale, and just-picked vegetables with risotto (among several delicious vegetarian options). The tap room offers a wide variety of local brews and the long, log-lined bar serves up an extensive wine list, with wines described both by varietal and by flavor. The firepit on the terrace is the place to be for an after-dinner drink and toasted marshmallows.

3. Phoenicia Diner
$ | |With its classic diner decor—swivel stools at the counter, cozy booths, and signs with little plastic letters announcing the specials—and gussied-up comfort food favorites, this popular diner always ends up on visitors' (and locals') best-of lists. Popular dishes include the duck and grits skillet, the trout with scrambled eggs, the house-cured corned beef hash, and the fried chicken and waffle sandwich. Get here early, as tables are hard to come by and it closes just before dinner.

4. Tavern 214
$$$$ | |Just steps from Stony Clove Creek, this popular farm-to-table gastropub revels in its location in a tree-shaded spot just outside of Phoenicia, and when weather permits, you should, too, by reserving a table to sit outside on the covered terrace. Owners Peter and Vivian Diaz have roots in the area, which might be why they are so intent on sourcing their ingredients from nearby farms and fisheries. The smoked duck breast is from the Hudson Valley, and the rainbow trout is supplied by a local family. The cozy wood-paneled dining room and fireplace seating are a comfortable backdrop for the elevated comfort food, but the long bar is also a draw with its menu of local craft beers and expansive wine list.

5. The Heron
$$$ | |Brunch is a revelation at this storefront eatery: think scrambled eggs with cream cheese and chives or crispy eggs on jalapeño-cheddar grits, all washed down with a mimosa or a Bloody Heron—the local version of a bloody mary garnished with olives and served in a mason jar. Dinner is just as tasty, with locally sourced ingredients used for comfort-food favorites like fried chicken. The interior is cozy, with rough-hewn wood tables, schoolhouse lights, and a pressed tin ceiling. Locals belly up to the bar in back or linger out on the back deck which overlooks the river.

6. Zephyr
$$ | |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.

7. Bear Cafe
$$$ | |Travelers, locals, and a mix of local and traveling hippies and aging rockstars cozy up to the fireplace or chill out by the stream at this lively, rustic bar and restaurant perched on the bank of Sawkill Creek, about 3 miles west of Woodstock. Sit on the west side of the restaurant for an unfettered view of the trickling waters of the Saw Kill; the patio is about as close to the water as you can get without falling in. The kitchen prepares American fare, such as its signature filet mignon dressed with port-garlic sauce and Stilton butter. The well-curated wine list has helped this place win awards every year.

8. Catskill Mountain Country Store
$ | |Looking like an old-fashioned soda shop, this casual eatery evokes the past with schoolhouse lights, vintage signs, and cakes under glass. Take a seat at the wooden bar and enjoy breakfast all day: try the Gimme Smores pancakes with chocolate chips and marshmallows, or the Breakfast of Champions Belgian waffle topped with ice cream. Lunch includes salads, wraps, and sandwiches like the Mean Green Burger, which has green mayo, melted Gouda, and sliced dill pickles. You can also buy homemade jams, jellies, breads, pies, and sodas to go.

9. Catskill Rose
$$$ | |Organic gardens line the restaurant's perimeter, hinting at the fresh ingredients Peter and Rose DiSclafani incorporate into their mostly new American, seasonally driven menu. Dishes may include such favorites as smoked duck with an apricot-apple cider sauce or trout with green-olive pesto. The 26-seat dining room is cozy, calling to mind a diner with its metal-framed chairs and huge windows.

10. Dancing Cat Saloon
$$ | |In a pretty red farmhouse at the entrance to Bethel Woods Center for the Performing Arts, the Dancing Cat Saloon—sister restaurant to the Catskill Distilling Company—is hands-down one of the best eateries in the area and a great place to dine before a concert or after a trip to the museum. The dining room is decorated with musical instruments—appropriate enough, given its location and the fact that the Dancing Cat often has live music. A favorite hangout spot is the deck, where you can sit under umbrellas overlooking the field of “Stray Cat” sculptures in front the of Catskill Distilling Company. The food ranges from expertly put-together burgers to the satisfying main courses, which includes the signature pork chops. Jazz brunch is also popular, especially with locals. You may want to reserve ahead, as the place is always packed.

11. Greenbriar Farm Sweets, Treats and Eats
$ | |The outgoing Powell-Wagner family runs this ice-cream parlor and casual eatery in addition to its sap house and cider mill (in nearby South Gilboa). You can reap the benefits of both with a visit here. Jars of homemade pickles, salsa, and fruit jams jostle for space with freshly baked pies and sweet breads. The Friday-night fish fry—when fresh pollack, flounder, and haddock are beer-battered and deep-fried—is becoming a local tradition.
75 Main St., Stamford, New York, USA607-652–9164Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No credit cards, Closed Dec.–Apr. -
12. Hitching Post
$ | |Low lighting and lots of bare wood give this family-friendly restaurant about 5 mi northwest of Prattsville a roadhouse-like aura. The building dates from the turn of the 20th century and has a storied history; during Prohibition one enterprising owner set the attic on fire when his still blew up. The menu is loaded with well-prepared American favorites such as burgers and fries, steak-and-potato dinners, shareable appetizer baskets, and scrumptious homemade desserts—save room for co-owner Jennifer's apple crisp. Simple, reasonably priced rooms upstairs and a sizable cottage out back are available for rent. You might have company if you choose to stay here; guests have reported benign ghostly visitors.

13. Maggie's Krooked Café
$ | |At this laid-back eatery in one of the prettiest buildings in Tannersville, you will find homemade baked goods piled on the counter and breakfast all day. Mountain bikers and skiers fill the place in the morning to partake of favorites like Eggs McMaggie, with two fried eggs, bacon, and your choice of cheese on an English muffin; challah French toast; steak and eggs; and freshly squeezed juices. Later in the day, organic sandwiches and salads take over. Thumbtacks hold artwork on the white wood-plank walls, and church-pew benches are filled with boisterous families.

14. Main Street Farm
$ | |The best reason to visit this always-busy shop is the café, where sandwiches are made to order and packed in boxes, making them perfect for impromptu picnics. There are also a couple of tables inside and on the sidewalk where you can enjoy favorites like the Root Cellar (kale and pistachio pesto with pickled beets) or the Catskill Comfort (ham from a nearby farm with organic lettuce and sweet-and-hot mustard from Brooklyn). This shop is one of the few places where you can buy smoked fish from nearby streams and hormone-free dairy products from farms scattered along the hillsides.

15. Matthew's on Main
$ | |This place combines the comfort and fun of a small-town tavern with a broad, ever-changing menu. If you're in the mood for meat, you can't go wrong with the Big Mama Burger, laden with ham, caramelized onions, and cheese on a toasted bun, and a basket of chef Matthew Lanes's hand-sliced potato chips. For a lighter meal, try a cheesy quesadilla and a cup of chunky gazpacho. Service on the deck gives you an eagle's-eye view of the hamlet.

16. Oriole 9
$ | |With pale wood floors, original art on the walls, and chalkboards crowded with menu options, Oriole 9 is a local favorite known for its breakfast all day—be that the traditional eggs and bacon or something more special, like poached artichoke, curried coconut tofu hash, or bread and butter pudding served with bacon and maple syrup. There are several different soups and salads if you're not feeling breakfast for lunch, as well as heartier fare like sandwiches made with slow-braised pork or brisket with spicy mayo. The bittersweet chocolate mousse is a perfect dessert to share.

17. 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.

18. River Market
$ | |If you're looking to stock up on supplies, Barryville's River Market carries everything from local produce to just-baked breads to its own blend of coffee called "River Mud." But it's also one of the best places for a belly-filling breakfast or lunch. Sandwiches and wraps are named for local landmarks, so the Route 97 has fresh roast beef, cheddar, and applewood smoked bacon, all topped with a sweet barbecue sauce. After your meal, there's a walk-up window where you can get ice cream.

19. Roscoe Diner
$ | |This quintessential diner and local landmark has been owned by the same family since 1969 and it holds a fond place in the hearts of regulars who stop by for a belly-busting breakfast on weekends. (Get here on the early side, as it gets packed closer to noon.) Grab a booth by the window and peruse the pages-long menu. There's a little bit of everything, but the homemade soups, salads, and sandwiches are always reliably good.

20. Shindig
$ | |A casual eatery in the heart of Woodstock, this popular local hotspot delivers comfort food "just like mom used to make," if she used organic ingredients sourced from local farms and dairies. The soups and salads are tasty, but the burgers and sandwiches—like the farmhouse burger (with cheddar, bacon, and sriracha aioli) and the veggie-friendly grilled cheese (three types of cheese with date preserves)—are what keep people coming back. Mac and cheese or hush puppies are the perfect sides. Wash it all down with craft beer or cider, or a selection from the surprisingly varied wine list.
