Where to Eat in Northampton: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Artists, farmers, scholars and professionals come together in harmony in beautiful Northampton, where the Connecticut River winds through the wooded hills of the Pioneer Valley. Once home to such diverse notables as U.S. president Calvin Coolidge, abolitionist Sojourner Truth, author Kurt Vonnegut and punk rockers Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore, and current home of the all women's Smith College, the city is famed for its arts scene and liberal values, plus a thriving lesbian community.

The eggs are really special not scrambled out of a box. Crazy hash options not my thing but most customers love it!

We went there today about 9 am and it was already crowded but well worth the wait. The portions are generous and the coffee delicious. I had the wicked Pete,s omelet with pesto, feta cheese , spinach, onions and tomatoes. My friend had the eggs Benedict. Our server was friendly and helpful. We did not feel neglected. Best place for breakfast for miles around. On Sundays the parking is free in the municipal lot nearby!

We came in on the early side for dinner and there were a few tables available. You need to order at the counter and pay when you order. You can get your own drinks and silverware and sit down with a number at your table. We were expecting a really good meal and it surpassed our expectations on all accounts. The lamb and lentils on onion crepe, lamb tagine with mixed veggies and mixed avocado salad were all fabulous! We ended with a pistachio baklava that was also first rate. I wish we had a restaurant like this near where we live, because we 'd be in there all the time! Loved it so much, we are returning tomorrow morning for breakfast... Heck with Jakes... This place is on a way different and higher level!

Convenient location in Thorne’s marketplace. We were a bit disappointed with our dinner. The antipasto special (feta cheese, apple, fried artichokes and olives served with focaccia) sounded interesting, but the greens were a bit wilted and needed dressing and the focaccia was unremarkable. A friend enjoyed the pasta special, however another was disappointed with a shrimp dish. Friendly, albeit somewhat inattentive service. Apple pie with vanilla ice cream was the highlight of the meal. Great spot for break from shopping. Desserts viewed from the pastry case looked good!

I ordered a portabello burger and a chocolate shake. I don't know how the burger was so greasy but it was and it kept sliding out of the bun. Long lasting aftertaste. I guess when you are in a burger place you should order the burger for the best experience. I have to admit the milkshake as very good.

Bombay Royale catered our daughter's wedding. They created a beautiful and delicious buffet. The guests all loved it, whether they were carnivores, vegetarians, and/or gluten free eaters. The staff was well organized and responsive to our requests. The presentation was stunning, and the price was very reasonable.

Early Valentine's Day dinner. Walked in on a Saturday afternoon around 4:45 p.m. without a reservation. Had a wonderful table. Filled up very quickly. Had a great ceasar salad and Gorgonzola bread appetizer. Our entrees were equally as good. Steak with scallops cooked perfectly.

Reviewed By SO194 - Sparta, New Jersey
Went here with work colleagues upon recommendation and we were all very pleased with our food and the service. The menu is very practical and creative as you first pick your protein and then you have your choice of accompanying sauce. Which is brilliant! How often when eating out you go to select your protein only to have the sauce not be what you had in mind or what you were in the mood for!
We all ordered steak (ribeye and filet)with the incredible Mac n Cheese ! You get to then pick your choice of 2 sides. (A lot to choose from -French fries, Mac n Cheese, vegetables etc)
I️ could have just had the MAC n Cheese as a meal but my filet was cooked to perfection.
Same room for dessert as the beignets are a must order! They have a very extensive and reasonable liquor/beer/speciality drink menu and they serve cappuccino and espresso!
We will definitely be back here again and wewould recommend you give them a try!
