I am very happy to be presenting to you these restaurants here in New Hampshire.  I am also happy to say that I have tried every. damn. one.  I'm not sure what that says about me other than I love dining out!

No matter what you are looking for, New Hampshire has the perfect place for you and your family.  Take the Red Arrow Diner, for example.  That place is famous with every New Hampshire politician and the whoopie pies will change your life.

Cotton in Manchester Has Some Really Fun Martinis

Cotton in Manchester was the place where we went for many birthday parties of mine and my friends.  The food is excellent, but I admit, the martinis were the big pull for me.  They had one with Pop Rocks on the rim!  How fun is that!?  I don't think they have it anymore, but when it was a thing, I loved it.

Since I've moved to the Seacoast, Surf is my go-to when I head into Portsmouth for the day. The Umami sushi is one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth.

The Rail at La Stazione has recently become one of my favorites.  Joseph, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and his food will fill me up for days.  Also, the wine selection is amazing.

Not to brag or anything, but my brother John used to be the chef at Parker's Maple Barn in Mason.  That place is quintessential New England.  You have to go in the Fall, you have to wait, and you have to order pancakes.  I'm sorry, but you have to do this.

This Dover, NH Restaurant is an Experience

On this list, I have truly saved the best for last.  Chef Evan Hennessey's Stages in Dover is the best I've ever experienced.  I feel bad for the other places that I love, but if I HAD to pick, it would be Evan's food.  He's an artist.

If you want any other suggestions on where to go, please do not hesitate to call or email me.  I love showing off our culinary prowess here in New Hampshire.  We have a lot of incredible cooks here in the Granite state.  No doubt, I have forgotten some.  Please drop a line with that too.

Here are the best 37!  Have you been to all of them?
