Indulge In The Scrumptious And Healthful Meals Served At Fine Seacoast Restaurants In New Hampshire

By Meghan Palmer


The New Hampshire Seacoast region is 13 miles of abundant good food choices. The seafood is a given, but there are also many kitchens preparing European, Mediterranean, Mexican, Asian and American comfort foods. Visitors come regularly to tour the coast, soak in the beautiful views and enjoy a great meal. For many, Rye and Portsmouth are the center points of tourism to the rocky shoreline and historic points inland. With many tourists heading for the spots that cluster near the sandy beaches, there are just as many locals who have their favorite foodie hangouts.



Because this stretch of land is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, and many fingers of inlets jut into it, there is strong temptation to think that seafood is the prime draw. But, there are sturdy restaurants making a stand with locally sourced produce and gluten free items for those who crave the very best of these. One such place is Serenity Market and Cafe.

Serenity Cafe, as it is known to many locals, is situated on an easily located corner off of Highway One, near the geographical highlights of Rye. Sagamore Creek, Little Harbor, Berry Brook and the Urban Forestry Center are all neighbors. At least one member of the Seacoast Storytellers endorses this spot as a welcoming place to gather and tell tales. It is a friendly place with excellent service and menu options that keep locals coming often. With everything from pizza to smoothies, there is something for everyone. Gluten free is one hallmark of their catering service and extensive recipes.

Just as it is in Rye, tourists visit the city of Portsmouth to soak in the coastal sunshine, enjoy the views offered by sandy, rocky beaches and learn about history. While Rye was founded when fishermen discovered Ordione Point, Plymouth traces its origins to the Federalist Period. People come for the magical experiences of the point as frequently as they visit the city to tour its many historic museums and architecture.

Portsmouth is also a place of historic and scenic vistas. Tourists frequent this city during the summer to explore the spot that Paul Revere warned of the impending coming of the British. The Federalist period architecture and ship building history are also of interest to visitors. Stopping to eat at favorite cafes or diners dotting this tidal estuary is a given.

Wineries, distilleries and breweries are an integral part of the region. City addresses include Portsmouth and Redhook Breweries and Earth Eagle Brewings. There are many others easily accessed, offering daily tours, tasting opportunities and excellent meals.

For generations, settlers have brought their customs and cuisine. Scrumptious international meals give visitors international food choices. Caribbean, Asian, Mediterranean, European, Mexican and American foods are all served with new recipes for the locally sourced produce, meats and spirits.

For regulars, visiting their favorite ocean vista always comes hand in hand with a stop to eat. Thanks to the abundance of fresh local produce, fish and meats, the eateries offer a wonderful variety of choices. Combined with the historic points of interest, visitors to this quintessential New England region have much to enjoy.
