Our Area

We eat well here in the Keene Valley area!! Within just a few minutes drive, you can enjoy a refreshing ice cream cone on a hot summer day, a burger and beer after a long hike or an elegant dinner for your birthday or anniversary.

NOTE: Reservations are ESSENTIAL at all restaurants during the busy season.

On summer Sundays, you’ll want to visit the incredible Keene Farmer’s Market located at Marcy Field for local produce, maple syrup, soap, coffee, artwork and more.

They also have an extensive Wine and Spirits Shop.

MONDAY TUESDAY GRILL:

In August 2022, we opened the Monday Tuesday Grill at our sister property, the ADK Trail Inn, to meet a serious need for food on the two nights when most area restaurants are closed. The fresh, affordable food and the friendly vibe have caused the Grill to grow quickly into a favorite for locals and tourists alike. In summer, we serve flame-grilled burgers, BBQ chicken, and cookout-style sides. The winter menu includes gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches soups and home-cooked specials like lasagna and shepherd’s pie. Open ONLY on Monday and Tuesday nights from 5-8pm, we offer indoor and outdoor seating as well as takeout. Note: the Monday Tuesday Grill is closed Wed-Sun!
