Restaurants in High Falls, NY

The Egg’s Nest Restaurant

1300 New York 213, High Falls, NY 12440 – (845) 687-7255
What an eclectic restaurant this is – food-wise and decor-wise. You can’t miss it in town, it’s painted in all sorts of colors and is covered in decorations. If you’re out to eat with kids, this is the best restaurant to play “I Spy” in because every inch of the place is either covered in paintings or has some sort of crazy item displayed on it. They have an excellent selection of vegetarian foods as well as non-veggies, quesadillas, salads, soups, sandwiches, “pray-sue”, pasta, children’s menu as well as a bar. The food is prepared in ways you don’t usually see and is usually tasty. Worth a visit.

High Falls Cafe

1219 State Rt. 213 and Mohonk Rd., High Falls, NY 12440 – (845) 687-2699 – closed Mondays
I’ve only eaten here a couple of times, but I thought the place was good with a nice casual feel. They serve basic American food for dinner – such as burgers, sandwiches, salads, pasta, as well as a breakfast and lunch menu. There’s also a kids’ menu. There’s a bar and a happy hour. Check their events calendar for their many live music events.

Northern Spy Cafe

Rt. 213 and Old Rt. 213, High Falls, NY 12440 – (845) 687-7298 – Closed Mondays
I’ve eaten here for dinner a handful of times, with mixed results. A couple of times I absolutely loved it, so I brought my husband here and then the food was mediocre. It’s a nice place, tucked away from the road up a hill. The best thing on the menu is their tofu wings appetizers. You can get them as “Free Range Tofu Wings” with blue cheese and celery, or even better, Sesame Tofu Wings w/ Mung Bean-Cucumber Salad & Sweet Chili Sauce. They also have wine.
