Caramelized day boat scallops and wild boar ribs in a 1752 building whose deck hangs straight over the Delaware.
Pub cooking with ambition, spread through a 1751 stone building with a tavern fireplace downstairs and a library lounge up top.
House-rolled ravioli that runs from five-cheese to a Roman cacio e pepe, plus a Rigatoni Bolognese that packs beef, veal, lamb, pancetta, and sausage into one bowl.

European dishes in a warren of small, art-filled dining rooms, open since 1978 and outlasting most of Main Street in the process.
The Ghost Light Inn's dining room, where the tables and the bar look straight out over the Delaware.
Chef Robert Kingsland runs this Ferry Market counter named for his grandmother Alta, building panini on house-roasted meats and salads from farm greens to order. The rotating seasonal juices are the tell that someone back there is paying attention.
A stand inside the Ferry Market baking dessert in miniature: two-bite tarts and mini bundts made on the same recipes Annie ran at her old Confections shop before it closed in 2010. Open weekends only in New Hope, Saturday till 8 and Sunday till 7.
Half bar-and-grille, half indoor golf: a full bar and five flat-screens up front, TrackMan simulator bays you can reserve in the back. Leagues, tournaments, and lessons with the house golf pro fill out the calendar.
Live music every night at this tavern on River Road. The cocktails use herbs from an on-site garden, and the kitchen leans on local farms, dairies, and distillers.
Smash burgers on a brisket-chuck-short-rib blend, griddled at a counter on South Main by Mark McLean, who left Wall Street for the flat-top in 2021. Order the namesake with extra-sharp American and house pickles, bring your own beer, and note that Tuesday is locals' night.
A first-generation Sicilian family runs this kitchen and bar out on Route 202, rolling house-made pastas and pizzas alongside the Italian-American standards. The bar holds up its half of the 'italian kitchen & bar' name.
A Friday-to-Sunday bakeshop on North Main where the scones come out fresh each morning and the case turns over week to week. The English muffin bread toasts into something you'll ration, and the layer cakes get iced with organic flowers cut from the garden out back.
A Main Street kitchen and bar that stays open till 2 a.m., later than most of New Hope, with a sidewalk patio built for watching the town walk by. Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday, and Friday and Sunday nights put live music behind the bar.
The ravioli comes rolled in-house several ways, from a five-cheese version to a Roman cacio e pepe, and the Rigatoni Bolognese packs beef, veal, lamb, pancetta, and sausage into one bowl. It's BYOB and dinner-only Wednesday through Sunday on Stockton Ave, small enough that you'll want to call ahead — save room for the tiramisu Luigi makes.
Open since 1978, Karla's has outlasted most of Main Street, plating European dishes across a warren of small, art-filled dining rooms. Weekend brunch is the move: Bananas Foster French toast, a deep bench of eggs Benedict, and a busy little bar for the wait.
The Logan Inn has run as an inn since 1727, one of the oldest still going in the country, and the tavern out front is where you drink to it. Expect New American plates, a real cocktail list, and a fireplace worth angling for in January.
A scoop shop on South Main serving Thomas Sweet ice cream, the handcrafted kind out of Princeton, alongside sorbet and dairy-free options. It stays open till 10, which is about when the after-dinner walk down Main goes looking for a cone.
Open since 1727, which makes it one of the five oldest continuously running inns in the country and a Revolutionary War field hospital before it was a whiskey lounge. Come on a cold night for the wood-burning fireplaces and the live piano in the bar.
Seafood and steaks right on the Delaware, on the old Landing waterfront where the deck sits over the river instead of near it. The bar runs to seasonal spritzes and craft cocktails, and the kitchen opens at noon on Saturdays.
Steaks and seafood right on the Delaware at The Landing, the riverside spot at the top of Main Street. Book a table on the water when the weather turns warm; Saturday nights fill early.

A dozen vendors under one roof on South Main, from Peruvian empanadas and ramen to Pork Shack pulled pork and Annie B's tarts. Everyone in your group pays a different counter and meets back at a shared table, which settles most who-picks-dinner standoffs.
Avinash and Khushbu Singh run this small Indian kitchen off Bridge Street, pulling tandoori chicken and dal makhani out of a 900-degree clay oven with heat levels that go up to X-HOT if you ask for it. It's BYOB, so walk something back from Triumph before you sit down.
Belgian Liège waffles — dense, caramelized, brioche-based — under scoops of ice cream made with local dairy and no corn syrup, from a Bucks original that's been at it since 2011. The Main Street shop runs seasonal, closing over winter and reopening each spring.
A dinner-only sushi bar on Mechanic Street that's won best-in-Bucks-County two years running since opening in 2022. It's BYOB and closed Mondays, with a house New Hope Roll and a new seasonal special roll every month; reserve ahead Friday through Sunday.
The steakhouse inside the River House hotel, on the Delaware riverbank where Broadway's Odette Myrtil ran her Chez Odette cabaret from the '60s into the early 2000s. Dinner leans dry-aged steak and a raw bar; the 18oz bone-in River House Strip runs $89, oysters by the piece.
USDA prime steaks, chops, and a raw bar inside an 1872 stone church on Main Street that started life as a Methodist house of worship. The dining room centers on a mural its artist spent five months of seven-day weeks painting in 2003.
Garage-door windows roll up onto the Delaware, and every dollar you spend here funds the nonprofit Playhouse next door. Come for American plates and a riverside table; Wednesdays bring live music for Local's Night.
American breakfast-and-lunch kitchen in Village Row that unlocks at 6 a.m., hours before the rest of New Hope wants coffee. The kitchen closes at 2, and the whole operation rests on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Al pastor on corn tortillas pressed in-house, plus ropa vieja that lands over fried green plantains instead of the usual rice. A small Main Street counter that pulled a clean 5 stars across its first 44 reviews.
Classic breakfast plates and mini pancakes over a 70s soundtrack, with a nitro bar pouring cold brew and coffee floats. Doors open at 8 and close by 1 most days, so this is a morning move, not a lazy-lunch one.
Pub fare that got ambitious, served across a 1751 stone building with a tavern fireplace, an upstairs library lounge, and a brick patio out back. Ask for the library room when you want a New Hope dinner nobody's shouting over.
Tom Sciascia's chocolate counter inside the Ferry Market makes everything gluten-free, from the truffles to the French macarons. The drinking chocolate comes thick enough to stand a spoon in, and those macarons will ship anywhere in the country.
The dining room of the Ghost Light Inn, with tables and a bar that look straight out over the Delaware River. Seasonal American cooking, plus a Friday-through-Sunday brunch worth booking a river-side table for.
A Main Street bakery-cafe running a fully halal kitchen, from the $8.50 tiramisu and mango mousse in the pastry case to beef stroganoff at dinner. Open 9 to 9 every day, so the espresso and a slice are there whether you're after breakfast or a walk on the towpath.
Thai, Japanese, and Chinese under one roof at Logan Square, the New Hope location of the local Wild Ginger group. The dining room opens at 4 on weekdays, but takeout starts at 11:30.
Chef Francisco Barrios cooks American plates in a courtyard tucked off Mechanic Street, open-air bar and al fresco tables well away from the New Hope crowds. In season only, Wednesday through Sunday, and they cap the room at parties of four.
