Like the German cuisine that influenced it, Pennsylvania Dutch cooking is hearty and uses ingredients from local farms. Though their numbers are dwindling, there are still a few traditional Pennsylvania Dutch restaurants where you can dine family style. Lancaster County has numerous reasonably priced family restaurants, along with a number of eateries offering more exotic fare. The cuisine is changing and expanding to include many flavors beyond traditional Amish. Unless otherwise noted, liquor is served.
A locally owned full-service grocery store with a focus on sustainable and health-minded products, Lemon Street Market is a great spot to pick up snacks and fruit to take back to your hotel, or drop by for a smoothie or coffee break. It's within walking distance of many downtown Lancaster hotels.

A self-described "wood-burning Italian kitchen," LUCA serves up seasonally inspired pasta, Neapolitan-style pizza, and wood-roasted meats. Located in a residential neighborhood near the Franklin & Marshall campus, this sun-drenched space with roll-up garage doors is always busy, and for good reason—the food is consistently delicious and the dining room vibe is upbeat. Outdoor seating on the arbor-covered patio is open when weather permits. The carefully curated wine list includes natural, low-intervention wines and the amaro selection is second to none.

Located in a Victorian-era building in downtown Lancaster, Annie Bailey's is a traditional Irish pub, from the dark wooden bar and furnishings sourced in Ireland to classic menu staples like shepherd's pie and fish-and-chips. There are at least 10 rotating beers on tap and an impressive selection Irish whiskey. The owners have transformed the second floor into Conway Social Club, a speakeasy (you knock and wait for the green light to enter) serving craft cocktails and globally inspired small plates.
28–30 E. King St., Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 17602, USA
Named after a bygone tobacco inspector, John J. Jeffries is the dining anchor of the hip Lancaster Arts Hotel, which occupies a former tobacco factory in downtown Lancaster. Not only do the chefs here source produce, dairy, and eggs from local farms, but they also own and operate a grass-fed cattle ranch, abattoir, and nose-to-tail butcher shop in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania; in 2019, the restaurant received an EAT Real certification for its commitment to responsible sourcing and animal welfare.

Locally known as Dipco, this welcoming pub next to Central Market is a fun haunt for a nosh and a pint, especially when there's live music on the weekends. Sandwiches, house-made chili, burritos, as well as nightly specials, are among the many menu options. The building, as is the case with so many in downtown Lancaster, is more than 100 years old.
33–35 N. Market St., Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 17603, USA
Originally a hardware store from the mid-1700s, this Victorian building in the center of town is now home to a casual bistro. It's owned by the company that also owns the local newspaper (hence the name) and is outfitted with a classic mahogany bar, tall leather booths, and an exposed baking hearth. Salads, sandwiches, and burgers dominate the menu, with a rotating selection of seasonally inspired dishes featuring local produce and meat. The Park Bar in the adjoining brick courtyard is lovely for cocktails and light fare in warm months.
26–28 W. King St., Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 17603, USA
