Indulge In The Scrumptious And Healthful Foods Created At Top Seacoast Restaurants In New Hampshire

By Meghan Palmer


The thirteen seacoast miles between the southern Maine border and the north of Massachusetts offer tourists many beautiful sights and flavors. All along the rocky and sandy beaches and coastline there are spots to enjoy cuisine ranging from New England comfort food to international flavors. Anchoring the region are the town of Rye and its neighboring city, Portsmouth. Both locations are brimming with dining choices for foodies.

The towns of Rye and Portsmouth are filled with many choices for dining, and though iconic fast food places are also there, foodies in the know will head to local establishments to enjoy fresh and healthy meals.

Because this stretch of land is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, and many fingers of inlets jut into it, there is strong temptation to think that seafood is the prime draw. But, there are sturdy restaurants making a stand with locally sourced produce and gluten free items for those who crave the very best of these. One such place is Serenity Market and Cafe.

Serenity Cafe, as it is known to many locals, is situated on an easily located corner off of Highway One, near the geographical highlights of Rye. Sagamore Creek, Little Harbor, Berry Brook and the Urban Forestry Center are all neighbors. At least one member of the Seacoast Storytellers endorses this spot as a welcoming place to gather and tell tales. It is a friendly place with excellent service and menu options that keep locals coming often. With everything from pizza to smoothies, there is something for everyone. Gluten free is one hallmark of their catering service and extensive recipes.

Just as it is in Rye, tourists visit the city of Portsmouth to soak in the coastal sunshine, enjoy the views offered by sandy, rocky beaches and learn about history. While Rye was founded when fishermen discovered Ordione Point, Plymouth traces its origins to the Federalist Period. People come for the magical experiences of the point as frequently as they visit the city to tour its many historic museums and architecture.

Portsmouth is also a place of historic and scenic vistas. Tourists frequent this city during the summer to explore the spot that Paul Revere warned of the impending coming of the British. The Federalist period architecture and ship building history are also of interest to visitors. Stopping to eat at favorite cafes or diners dotting this tidal estuary is a given.

This region is also known for its distilleries, wineries and breweries. Earth Eagle Brewings, Redhook Brewery and Portsmouth Brewery each have city addresses. There are many more located nearby and well worth a visit. Each serves delicious foods procured from local farms, and several offer regular tasting days and tours.

Over generations, immigrants from many European and Asian countries have settled in the Rye and Portsmouth areas, founding kitchens serving delicious international cuisine. It is possible to order every kind of popular food imaginable from simple steaks to Mediterranean or Caribbean specialties. Wine bars, Mexican meals and traditional New England comfort food can all be enjoyed. The popularity of the Seacoast supports many wonderful establishments that draw their products from inland farms and seafaring fishing companies.

For regulars, visiting their favorite ocean vista always comes hand in hand with a stop to eat. Thanks to the abundance of fresh local produce, fish and meats, the eateries offer a wonderful variety of choices. Combined with the historic points of interest, visitors to this quintessential New England region have much to enjoy.
