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. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Bread Alone
$ | |Freshly baked breads and pastries beckon from the window of this centrally located café where Woodstockers go to wake up. You can get all the local gossip while waiting in line for a latte, or grab a table and enjoy a feta and leek quiche or a chicken sausage and kale sandwich. If you're pressed for time, this is the place to duck in, grab the fixings for a picnic lunch, and keep going.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Joshua's
$$$ | |In business for more than four decades, this venerable eatery's unassuming interior gives no hint of the wonders coming out of the kitchen. The inventive Middle Eastern menu includes zucchini flat cakes with yogurt and apricot jam and red beet risotto with seared scallops and asparagus. Joshua's smorgasbord brings together hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, dolmas, and warm pita bread. A popular spot for vegans, vegetarians, and those on a gluten-free diet.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.
-
15. Sweet Sue's
$ | |French doors open into a bright, airy space filled with white wooden booths, marble-top café tables, and a stainless-steel counter where trays of fresh muffins cool. You'll see why it's a local favorite when you tuck into the Blue Monkey, a stack of blueberry-banana buttermilk pancakes, or the savory huevos rancheros and experience the efficient, friendly service. Take a note from the locals—who come armed with newspapers and books—and grab a seat outside under the colorful umbrellas. Note that Sweet Sue's is a cash-only eatery.

16. 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.

17. Yum Yum Noodle Bar
$ | |Craving hearty Japanese soba noodles, curlicue Chinese ramen, gluten-free rice noodles, or thick wheat udon? Choose your favorite at this popular local hangout, then customize with your choice of broth, veg, and protein—from shrimp to tofu to pork belly. Don't be entirely distracted by the noodles; award-winning chef Erica Mahlkuch also serves up delicious mains like miso and sake-cured salmon with brown rice and asparagus. The interior has a chill vibe and huge chalkboards listing the specials; there's outdoor patio seating for warmer evenings.
