4 Best Restaurants in Bucks County, Pennsylvania

An eclectic dozen or so vendors, some of them outposts of area spots, fill this renovated brick-fronted food market with a rustic-industrial vibe and some seating (there's a beer garden in season). Grab a coffee at SkyRoast or sip wine from nearby Unionville Vineyards, or choose lunch options like a Pork Shack sandwich or a Little Radish salad. Keep in mind that vendors close at different hours, and all close by 7 or 8 pm.

A casual hangout in the heart of New Hope, Karla's has been open since 1978, offering American food from cheaper salads, burgers, and sandwiches to more expensive fare, with most dishes enlivened with interesting international ingredients. Dine on dishes like panko-crusted mac and cheese, sweet-potato-crusted fish of the day, and stuffed pork chops with prosciutto in cozy, well-worn rooms with an assemblage of mismatched tables and plants. Part indoors and part out, half restaurant and half bar, mostly shabby and somewhat chic, Karla's feels like a comfortable pair of jeans.

Chic and BYO, this well-regarded vegan restaurant known for fresh, sophisticated fare attracts plenty of nonvegetarians to its space off the Main Street scene in Union Square, a converted-warehouse-meets-new-construction complex. The menu is relatively short—an assortment of small plates and salads, and a handful of sandwiches and large-plate dinner options such as a cauliflower-cashew mac and Moroccan grilled mushroom skewers—but offers interesting dishes with complex global flavors, often made with ingredients from local farms. There's a short menu section for kids, too. 

In the same building as the Ghost Light Inn, this sophisticated 120-seat modern American restaurant helmed by Keith Bernstein has expansive Delaware River views from its indoor and outdoor seating, enhancing the relaxed charm of the sleek, high-ceilinged space with wood-topped tables, a fireplace, and a bar. It's a stunning setting for seasonal menus that use the best ingredients from local farms and artisan producers in dishes such as wild mushroom dumplings and roasted local chicken with white miso and sake glaze. The honey cheesecake mousse is one of a short list of indulgent desserts, and the wine list is well curated and intriguing.
