2 Best Restaurants in New Preston, The Litchfield Hills

Locals, leaf peepers, and folks just passing through stop at The White Horse, a country pub and restaurant that draws its varied menu from British pub, American comfort, and French bistro favorites. Dine on the deck, on the patio, or along the river in the warm months—or inside in front of the fire during the winter chill.

This 19th-century country inn overlooking Lake Waramaug is a lovely place for breakfast, alfresco lunch, midafternoon tea, or a European-inspired dinner. The menu includes features French escargot, Austrian Wiener schnitzel, Swiss rösti potatoes, and Italian veal piccata—as well as American favorites like broiled Atlantic salmon.
