For a beach town, you’d think we would have more restaurants right on the water. La Plage has filled that void with a gorgeous restaurant and patio bar at the Inn at Longshore. The views and the rosé make for a fantastic evening with friends. For food, I recommend their oysters, lobster roll, and any of the Pinsas.

Per the name they have great burgers and great lobster rolls but the secret best thing on the menu are their thin and crispy onion rings. And randomly their Caesar salad. We pick up food to go from here all the time because the entire family loves it. If you go in person, sit outside and be sure to walk across the street to Saugatuck Sweets for ice cream.

One of my favorite restaurants in Fairfield County! Don Memo has it all: ambiance, fantastic cocktails, delightful food, and a great vibe. Their guacamole has fresh mint in it which sounds weird but is out of this world. The chilaquiles rojas is my favorite dish on the menu.

I have never had a pastry or meal from The Pantry that was less than a 10. They are a bakery, gourmet food shop, and catering service that makes the most delicious food. If you’re planning a party or event, I recommend them for catering. Or just go for a sandwich and their addictive cookies, cakes, or pies.

If you’re looking for delicious pre-made meals, look no further. We pop by Garelick & Herbs at least once a week to pick up prepared dinners or made-to-order salads. They have a great selection of soups, salads, proteins, sides, and desserts!

The food tastes as beautiful as it looks in this Westport-based restaurant. The bar makes great cocktails too. Their burger is insane and I am a big fan of the hamachi sashimi.
