Food Scene

I've included breakfast/brunch/lunch suggestions, local coffee, ice cream & bakery shops, casual & fine dining, bars & places with entertainment. The emphasis is on Doylestown spots, but there are quite a few for New Hope and Lambertville too.
Delicious freshly prepared sushi, unique specials and an extensive menu of cooked dishes! I highly recommend the Duck Breast entree. The restaurant is pretty, with a bar & a buzz!

Romantic or special occasion farm to table! Beautiful room and setting on the farm. Gourmet menu but pricey. They have a tent outside for outdoor dining. Several recent guests have raved about their dining experiences and the careful Covid protections the restaurant has put in place.

Great neighborhood spot with top quality food in Lambertville. Pasta is special and my meat eating friends tell me the pork chop is the best they've ever eaten. It's away from the main drag and well worth finding. Sit at the bar for a more casual experience or in the white tablecloth dining room. This place is always busy so be sure to make a reservation.

The Pearl S. Buck House, a National Historic Landmark in Bucks County, PA, was the home of Pearl S. Buck and her family. The beautiful and iconic Bucks County stone farmhouse contains a rich, intact collection from the extraordinary (the typewriter on which she wrote The Good Earth) to the ordinary (a closet full of board games her family played). The grounds of the estate also contain Pearl S. Buck’s gravesite, greenhouse & award-winning gardens. Tours available. Proceeds go to the Welcome House (the world’s first international biracial adoption agency) and to the Pearl S. Buck Foundation (now Pearl S. Buck International) to provide international humanitarian aid.
