The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Roundhouse



  1. Rank 3. Ziatun

    Palestinian Middle Eastern



  2. A converted farmhouse in North Salem with sweeping views of actual countryside, which somehow makes the tasting menu feel earned rather than theatrical. This is a Michelin-starred modern French fine dining room with very few tables, run by a husband-and-wife team whose roots are in the south of France. The cooking is precise and quietly confident, and dessert gets its own moment to shine. Esquire named the Vesper martini among the finest in America, which is a strange fact about a farmhouse, and a good one.


  3. A converted abbey perched above the Hudson, the kind of setting that makes you feel the nuns are judging your wine order. Apropos is fine dining with a traditional American lean, accessible by train from Grand Central for those willing to make the pilgrimage. The kitchen pulls from local farms and leans into classic technique, rich braises, proper sauces, and a wine cellar that suggests someone here takes this seriously.

  4. A white farmhouse with actual working fields out the window sets the scene at this North Salem seafood restaurant, where "farm to table" includes a smokehouse, a curing room, and a farm shop next door. The kitchen grows and preserves much of what it serves, down to the hot sauce and the carrot bread. Cocktails lean into the gardens too. A Michelin Selected restaurant that earns the pastoral postcard without winking at it.





  5. Rank 11. Cenadou

    Modern French

    The name is Provençal for "dining room," which sets the tone pretty neatly for this modern French bistro tucked into the North Salem countryside. White walls, dark wood, royal blue chairs, and big windows full of trees give it the feel of somewhere you'd actually want to linger. The kitchen takes Provence-leaning classics and nudges them gently forward, finishing the baba au rhum tableside with a rum pour and Earl Grey whipped cream.


  6. Rank 12. Badageoni

    Georgian Eastern European

    Khachapuri, the boat-shaped bread stuffed with molten cheese and a raw egg yolk you stir together yourself, is reason enough to make the drive to this Georgian restaurant in Mount Kisco. The room is warm and unfussy, Edison bulbs over dark wood, and the menu reads like a gentle introduction to a cuisine most tables are encountering for the first time. Ground lamb kebabs wrapped in lavash show up at nearly every table.


  7. Freshly pulled radishes arrive with browned butter before you've looked at a menu, which tells you everything about what Dan Barber is doing at this two-Michelin-starred tasting room on a working farm in the Hudson Valley. The procession that follows is theatrical and farm-obsessed, rooted in whatever the land is doing right now. Crisped linens, fine crystal, and a meal that could end with a tower of milk desserts, because the farm started as a dairy.



  8. Whitewashed brick printed with animal silhouettes, polished concrete floors, and an open kitchen loud enough to compete with the table next to you set the tone at this casual Southern restaurant in Pleasantville. The menu runs the expected classics, fried green tomatoes, cornbread, shrimp jambalaya, and a buttermilk chicken sandwich stacked with bacon and cheese. Come hungry and bring people; the place is built for a crowd.




  9. Rank 18. The Inn at Pound Ridge

    Contemporary New American

    White clapboard, manicured gardens, and a valet line that reads the room before you even step inside. This is a fine dining destination in a Victorian inn north of the city, where Jean-Georges Vongerichten's kitchen sends out contemporary New American cooking with a country-weekend ease. The menu pulls from his greatest hits, reworked for the setting, which suits the crowd who drove out from Manhattan pretending they live like this.



  10. Rank 20. Rosie General

    Jewish Italian



  11. Grilled dates stuffed with goat cheese and prosciutto sit on the menu alongside burgers and charcuterie, which tells you most of what you need to know about this Tarrytown gastropub. It doubles as a gourmet market, so the front is stocked with food from around the world and the back opens into exposed brick and antique odds and ends. The kitchen roams the Mediterranean, landing on hearty seafood and steaks.




  12. Rank 25. Gigi Hudson Valley

    Italian Mediterranean




  13. Rank 28. Goosefeather

    Hong Kong-style

    Dale Talde's Hong Kong-style restaurant sits inside a carriage house on a sprawling Hudson Valley estate, where the dining rooms look like someone inherited very good furniture and actually kept it. The menu runs kung pao wings alongside bao stuffed with crispy shrimp and daikon, the kind of cooking that's both nostalgic and quietly restless. Dressy-casual crowd, unhurried pace, and a setting that makes Tarrytown feel like a reasonable destination.


  14. Mustard-yellow walls and hand-blown glass fixtures give this Indian bistro on Irvington's Main Street the feel of a neighborhood living room that happens to serve serious food. The menu leans into bold spice and local, organic produce, and the housemade mango chutney has its own quiet reputation. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which tracks: the room stays lively, the cooking is confident, and the tile-fronted bar fits one more than you'd expect.


  15. Rank 30. Raasa

    Indian

    Fine dining Indian in Elmsford, where the menu wanders through regional subcontinents with real intention. The bhel puri is a good opening move, balancing sweet, spicy, and tart the way a street snack should, and the lamb curry finds the same balance at a slower pace. Kulfi falooda does the dessert work, and the mango lassi is the kind of thing you order once and then every time after.


  16. Rank 31. MP Taverna

    Modern Greek

    An 18th-century building a block from the Hudson, fitted out with brass chandeliers and mahogany panels, is an unlikely setting for a modern Greek taverna, but Michael Psilakis makes it work. The menu runs family-style, starting with meze and moving through roasted meats and grilled sausage with orange peel. Call ahead if you want the whole roast animal; that one takes planning.


  17. Rank 32. Varka Estiatorio

    Mediterranean Seafood



  18. Duck liver cannoli, shatteringly crisp and filled with mousse, is not the kind of thing you expect from a neighborhood gastropub in a Hudson Valley commuter town. The Cookery holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and earns it on Italian-leaning comfort food that takes the long way around: house-made pasta, rotating daily specials, and market vegetables that make a grilled green feel like an argument. Young couples and regulars fill every seat most nights, which tells you what you need to know.


  19. The carved wooden panels and semi-private booths signal that this is not your average strip-mall Chinese restaurant, even if the exterior gives nothing away. A full-service Chinese dining room in Hartsdale drawing multigenerational families on weekend nights, it runs classics like garlic-pepper shrimp and slow-cooked Beijing duck with real kitchen discipline. The chef earned a James Beard semifinalist nod, and the Michelin Guide has taken notice too.


  20. Rank 36. Osteria Padre Pio

    Campanian Italian

    Every table at this cozy Campanian trattoria in Westchester starts the same way: a wooden board arrives loaded with caponatina and house-made focaccia before you've ordered a thing. The chef runs a scratch kitchen rooted in southern Italy, with hearty portions and specials worth circling. Finish with the house limoncello and you'll understand why the regulars never really need a menu.


  21. Rank 37. Stissing House

    Tavern American



  22. Bright unframed paintings and shelves of canning jars set the tone at this cozy Italian restaurant in Ardsley, where the room feels warmer than its simple storefront suggests. The menu speaks Italian but thinks American, leaning on seasonal produce and well-made pasta. The pastry chef co-owns the place, which means dessert gets the attention it deserves rather than the afterthought it usually is.


  23. Marble bar, soft jazz, and a wine list that quietly suggests someone here knows what they're doing. This intimate wine bar in Hastings-on-Hudson draws a Westchester crowd that has clearly tired of driving into the city for a civilized night out. The kitchen punches well above its zip code, with a short, focused menu that earns the Bib Gourmand. Come ready to linger; the servers seem to expect it.




  24. Rank 43. Verana

    Contemporary Italian





  25. Rank 47. Kanopi

    Portuguese Mediterranean



  26. Part restaurant, part charcuterie counter, Augustine's Salumeria is a relaxed modern Italian spot in Mamaroneck where the menu leans hard on Westchester farms and local fishermen. The kitchen turns out Italian-leaning dishes alongside nightly specials that change the calculation every time. The room feels like a neighborhood place that happens to cook with serious intention, which is a comfortable combination.


  27. Double-height ceilings and exposed wooden beams give this rustic-chic Italian café in Scarsdale a barn-that-got-good-taste feeling. The two long, narrow rooms fill up fast, and the bar anchors the whole thing without trying too hard. The kitchen leans into comfort, the kind of Italian café where the broth in the tortellini en brodo tastes like someone's been at it since morning. Good for a leisurely lunch or an easy dinner when the city feels far away.


  28. Rank 51. Burrata

    Wood-fired Pizza

    The wood-burning oven is the center of gravity here, and the whole room orients itself accordingly: open floor plan, lots of windows, oyster-colored walls that feel more downtown than suburban strip. It's a pizza shop that earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand by threading the line between neighborhood red-sauce joint and something a little more considered. The namesake burrata pizza, heavy with mushroom fragrance, is what people come back for.




  29. Rank 54. Al-Basha

    Palestinian Middle Eastern






  30. Rank 59. Pizzeria La Rosa

    NY-Style Pizza Cocktail Bar




  31. Rank 62. OKO

    Japanese

    The open kitchen anchors the room at this contemporary Asian restaurant in Rye, where the chef treats Japanese cuisine as a jumping-off point rather than a blueprint. Nigiri, handrolls, and tempura share the menu with hot dishes and the kind of creative small bites that make the omakase worth considering. The lofty-ceilinged space draws a lively local crowd, and the bar fills up early. Selected by the Michelin Guide.



  32. Rank 64. Tobalá

    Oaxacan

    House-made blue and yellow corn tortillas arrive before you've even thought about ordering, which tells you something about how this Oaxacan restaurant in Riverdale operates. The room is modern and low-lit, with clay masks and pottery that nod to the region without tipping into theme park territory. Mezcal gets serious attention at the bar, and the dark mole negro on the enmoladas de pato is the kind of sauce that takes days to make.










  33. Rank 73. Mario's Restaurant

    Historic Italian



  34. Rank 75. Çka Ka Qëllu

    Albanian Eastern European

    Glass cases of embroidered regional dress line the walls of this Albanian restaurant on Arthur Avenue, next to the old retail market, where the food runs to burek and cabbage rolls stuffed with ground veal. The Bronx's Albanian community has been quietly growing for decades, and this is where it eats. The menu is the comforting, filling kind, and the brumat sampler is a reasonable place to start if you've never eaten Albanian before.















  35. Midnight-blue leather banquettes and exposed brick set the tone at this New Rochelle Italian restaurant, where the long bar fills early with regulars who seem to know everyone. The kitchen splits its attention between old-school classics and something a little more current, and Mom's meatballs in marinara with a scoop of ricotta make a convincing case for the old school. Chatty and unpretentious, the kind of place that makes New York's suburbs feel worth the commute.


  36. Rank 90. Allium Eatery

    Modern New American


  37. Rank 91. Dubrovnik

    Mediterranean Wine Bar

    The custom woodwork lining Dubrovnik's dining room was built next door, in the owner's cabinetry shop, and it shows. This Mediterranean wine bar on a commercial stretch of New Rochelle draws a loyal crowd for dishes off the wood-burning oven and grill, and on certain nights, live Croatian music fills the room. The Michelin Guide has taken notice. Bring someone who enjoys lingering.


  38. Red-checkered tablecloths and crimson walls set the tone at this old-school Bronx trattoria just off Arthur Avenue, where the name translates to "between us" and the room feels like it was designed to keep the secret. The chef runs the floor with the energy of someone who takes your dinner personally, and the night's menu lives on a blackboard. Cash-and-chianti regulars fill it early, so book ahead.



  39. The brick oven is the anchor here, turning out thin-crusted pizzas with just enough char on a Morris Park block that mostly ignores trends. Patricia's is a sit-down Italian restaurant with high ceilings, exposed brick, and a semi-open kitchen that makes the room feel lively without being loud. The wine list leans into obscure Italian varietals, and the cocktails are worth a look before you settle in for something from the sea.
