Where to Eat in North Conway: The Best Restaurants and Bars
North Conway, part of New Hampshire's scenic Mount Washington Valley, has been dubbed the offspring of a quintessential New England village and a Gap outlet. Historic buildings, quaint antique shops, bookstores and bakeries coexist peacefully with big name outlet stores like J. Jill, Nike and Dansk. For seasoned shoppers, it represents the best of worlds, part old-country charm, part new-world bargains. Plagued for years by busy routes and traffic jams, the new North-South road has made it somewhat easier to get around and enjoy all the area has to offer. In addition to shopping, visitors will find ample opportunities for hiking, biking, skiing and rock climbing in the majestic White Mountains. In fact, North Conway is home to the renowned International Mountain Climbing School, which attracts climbers from around the world. Accommodations range from cozy inns and historic bed and breakfasts, to full-service resorts, ensuring a comfortable haven for all tastes and budgets.

1. May Kelly's Cottage Restaurant and Pub

This place was recommended to us by several locals so we took their advice. So glad we did. When you first open the door, you realize that you're in for a treat. The whole place is like a funhouse/museum/pub. Seriously, there is not a square inch of this place (walls, ceiling, etc.) that is not covered with something interesting. I'm not sure if she is the owner but a delightful woman with a charming accent took our names and quickly seated us. To add to this, several other ladies also had the same beautiful accent. The menu was fairly extensive and our food was delicious. But it all combines to give us a wonderful and memorable experience. Don't miss it!

Located in the heart of the town close to the old train station on the main road. Sit inside, outside or upstairs. Good snacks, cakes and a varied selection of flavoured coffees and teas. Reasonable prices. Easy access with one step to access. Parking right outside and to the rear. Would recommend. If this helps give me a ‘like’.

After eating lunch, we were looking for a little cookie or cupcake. We used the trip advisor review and ended up at Old Village Bakery, it was amazing! I wanted to order one of everything, however I stuck with the 3 oatmeal cookie options, oatmeal raisin, oatmeal chocolate chip and oatmeal cranberry, OMG, they were all amazing? Soft, warm and by far some of the best cookies I have ever had!
The bread also looked great and the scone flovours sounded so inviting!
A definite find in North Conway!

Boy-- one of the nicest Sunday brunches we've ever had! Lovely room, great views, terrific piano player, friendly, attentive service, and did I mention the great views?
The brunch is fine, the food nicely prepared, and the serving area is well designed, and there is something for everyone. That said, there is a bit less than there might be for those who avoid pork. There was bacon and sausage, and a ham for carving-- fine. But the frittata had bacon in it, the chicken was made with ham. There was no chicken dish without pork, no beef or lamb dishes at all save corned beef hash (which was quite nice). The desserts were lovely and fun-- and came in small sizes, which made it fun for the kids, and nice for those who wanted to have a bit of this and that. The rice and green beans were unattractively labeled "starch" and "vegetable."
The restaurant had a lot of children, but such was the design, that noise from that quarter was not the least unpleasant, and indeed, the place is very kid friendly, making for happy children.
We had a great time and we plan to return when next we come to the area! Highly recommended. (Oh, and as of January 2018, the price is reasonable).

It was a pleasant surprise to discover this. The coffee's flavour was great, something very different from the other store chains. We had some bangles too, nice ones. The ambiance is great and inviting. We were in no hurry to drive out, so we enjoyed the time spent here. Will sure return here as and when we drive nearby in White Mountains.

We went to their little shop in the mall and not at the town and it was terrible. The lady was rude and had an attitude. Everyone had to speak up to her and when you raised the voice for her to hear she rolled her eyes. Then the frost shots are not even worth it. Little cups with no kids. She also was in a hurry to talk to family that had come into the small bakery.
Cupcakes are good though.
I pray she was not the owner.
7. Big Dave's Bagels & Deli

Reviewed By Ann M - Syracuse, New York
My husband and I were on our way through the White Mts, and he had seen this establishment's ad in a local travel magazine. So glad we stopped! The ingredients are fresh, and your order is custom made. My husband had the Cuban-ham, Turkey, Swiss cheese with a deli pickle on a jalapeno parmesan bagel. I ordered the Chococura-grilled chicken, pesto with roasted red peppers and fresh mozzarella on a whole wheat sesame seed bagel. Everything was delicious. Lots of choices, and I only wish I had room for one of the yummy looking desserts-whoopie pies, brownies, applecrumb cake and other delicious looking desserts. Don't miss Big Dave's!

Danielle, we are still talking about your great grand dad's beer!!!!
We want to find it here in Florida. But serious, you need to advertise the story.
Beer Followers love to try beers with a history!
And we were talking about your burgers the next day! Awesome girl.
We were the couple with the 14 yo who was on his first snow trip having lunch on Monday.
Thanks again, Danielle, for the great burger, a beer to remember, and to for having the last chance to make a snowman outside before we left.
Leave it up to you to finally have snowman snow - when couldn't make one during the beginning of the trip.

When I first arrived at the Flatbread Company the aroma of cooking flatbreads filled the air making me anticipate the experience I was about to have. This would be my first Flatbread pizza.
The service was prompt and pleasant. Our server took the time to explain the different varieties of flatbreads helping us make our choice with confidence.
When the pizza arrived we dug right in and was quick to devour the scrumptious thin crusted pizza. This was a very pleasant surprise. I couldn't believe we ate the whole thing.
Since that time we would stop in the Flatbread Company on a regular basis enjoying their food and drink.

I wanted to go back to the sunshine shack, but was persuaded to give Peaches ago, after good recommendations. The restaurant was fairly quiet, and had a 50s style decor which was quaint. The welcome wasn't over friendly, but fine. We ordered and our food came really quickly, and as the title says the pancakes were delicious. I would definitely recommend this spot, but if I was to choose, I would go for the sunshine shack.
