Did You Know...

The Valley Originals donated almost 3 million dollars to our community over the last few years! As well as over $25,000 in member gift certs to 200+ organizations in the Mount Washington Valley.

The Valley Originals is a group of locally owned and operated restaurants that have joined together to share their thoughts and ideas on what the true experience of a local eatery should be like. By its very nature, the independent restaurant is unique in its ambiance, recipes, and service – it is not a copy of any other restaurant in the locale.

Food is prepared fresh daily, often from local products. Frozen food prepared in some far-flung commissary is not the fare of the independent restaurant. The owner is on the premises to respond to your dining needs and wishes.
