POPOVERS ON THE SQUARE
Read moreThis charming café is the ideal place to stop for brunch or lunch. Housed in a handsome brick building, it's right in the heart of Portsmouth's historic Market Square. You'll find good salads, sandwiches and delicious popovers. The European pastries, perhaps a little less refined than in France, make passers-by salivate, and the café is worthy of an Italian one. In summer, the vast terrace is very pleasant and allows for discreet people-watching. A good address.
RIVER HOUSE RESTAURANT
Read moreRiver House is one of Portsmouth's fine restaurants. Situated on the harbor, overlooking the bay, it ensures a pleasant dinner. The menu offers a typical New England selection: lots of fish and shellfish, chowder, lobster rolls, salads - not bad for lunch. The dining room is a little dark, with its brick and wood interior, but not unpleasant. Weather permitting, ask for a table outside, where you can enjoy the terrace above the water and watch the sailboats go by.
