Welcome to Fall in the Mount Washington Valley

The Valley Originals Members invite you to stop by for cozy, fall-inspired menus, warm seasonal dishes, and fresh craft beers brewed right here in the region. Gather with us after a day outdoors and experience the unique flavor, warm hospitality, and community spirit that make our Valley dining special.

The best way to truly experience local culture is to dine at a Valley Original instead of a national chain.

Whether you are looking for grab-and-go options, casual family meals, or fine dining, the Valley Originals offer something for everyone. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner with options for outdoor seating or cozy fireside dining. Whatever you are craving, our independent restaurants have you covered.

Dine local—choose a Valley Original and guarantee yourself a great experience!

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.

We support local organizations, charities, and activities and are all involved in the community effort. Our goal is to give you a very special and unique experience and the finest food found anywhere.
