I'm sure I'm not telling anyone anything new by heaping on more praise for everyone's favorite restaurant in everyone's favorite Hudson Valley town. But it's hard not to love the decadent brunch here, especially surrounded by fall weather in the mountains. We shared the perfectly-executed French omelette, served with a mound of excellent caramelized onions and raclette, as well as the maple crepes. There were a few seasonal items that had been recommended to me which I was sad not to see on the menu, such as the tomato sandwich, but all those regrets were quickly washed away in butter. read more

Tonight (10-3-25) we were finally able to dine at Cafe Mutton (757 Columbia St.) in Hudson, NY.  We've been trying to get  a reservation here for two years.  Not only is it popular for its innovative cuisine, relying heavily on locally sourced produce and proteins, but . . . they only serve dinner on Friday nights.  So that makes competition for dinner reservations rather intense.  It was a culinary experience absolutely worth the wait. Perhap the most creative menu we've ever seen at a restaurant without a Michelin star, friendly, fully informed servers (thank you Jules and Mary Kate), in a hip environment, at very reasonable prices given the outstanding quality of the food.     We were seated by Mary Kate, but joined quickly by Jules to welcome us--both servers seem authentically pleased to be working at Cafe Mutton and their enthusiasm can't help but flow to the diners.  Jules asked about drinks, I ordered a Campari and soda with lime, my wife, after a consultation with Jules ordered a glass of Albarino.  These arrived promptly and after a brief discussion with some questions we placed our orders.   The first round of food arrived rather quickly.  My wife had the radicchio salad with sherry vinaigrette and grated gouda cheese.  Of course, because it's the Hudson, it's not "just" radicchio, it's a mixture of chicories, in this case, Radicchio Treviso, Rosa del Veneto, and de Castelfranco. Beautiful to look at, fresh crisp, and so lightly dressed so as not to overwhelm the flavors of the different and unique bitter greens.  My salad course was much simpler but no less tasty--radishes and radish greens (tops) served with a deeply rich and flavorful anchovy sauce.  The radishes were huge, but they were crisp and tender on the inside, not like the larger radishes I might grow in my garden which turn woody with size.  The anchovy sauce would pretty much help to accent anything and is probably a delight just plain, so much umami flavor. Jules and Mary Kate checked on us regularly throughout the meal to gauge our reaction to the dishes.  After a proper pause, my wife's main arrived--broiled swordfish in brown butter sauce with fried capers and lemon.  It was outstanding and may well be the first time I've ever seen my wife eat an entire piece of swordfish.  I had a few bites and concurred that the swordfish was somehow infused with the brown butter sauce which not only kept it ultra moist but added a layer of flavor to the fish which might not otherwise be there.  Just exceptional. My two appetizers arrived and I was surprised by how large each one was.  Clearly, in the interest of sampling, I had over ordered--not the first time and certainly not the last.  I ordered the head cheese with rugbrod and pickled onions.  For the few who may not know, rugbrod is a dense, dark Danish rye bread which makes a perfect stage for applying some grain mustard, adding a chunk of head cheese and throwing on some pickled onions.  It was heavenly.  The head cheese was wonderfully porky in flavor and basically greaseless, just one luscious bite after another with that incredible bread and the sharpness of the pickled onion and mustard. My other appetizer was the cold pork and beef tongue sausage with green sauce and cabbage salad.  Sounds so simple and yet it was an incredibly complex dish when it came to contrasting flavors--this was also a portion much larger than I had anticipated.  There were six rectangular slabs on pork and beef tongue sausage on the plate (more like a pate than a conventional sausage), surrounded by an intensely flavor parsley and olive oil sauce with a slight hint of garlic and topped with a shredded cabbage slaw dressed with vinaigrette and capers.  So creative and so luscious.  There's no way I would be able to finish both the head cheese and the pork and beef tongue sausage, so I engaged in some on the spot triage in favor of finishing all of the head cheese (which is so difficult to find on a menu) and left too much of the sausage/pate.  These dishes were surprisingly rich, though not heavy, and so very satisfying. Jules and Mary Kate both seemed to delight in the way we savored the food; and savor we did.  I ordered another Campari and soda and my wife ordered an Earl Grey tea with milk.  We couldn't help but order dessert--the pear galette with vanilla custard.  Either the galette or the custard (think double cream here) would have been sufficient as a proper conclusion to this extravagant meal, but when consumed together it was just outright decadent. We chatted for a bit with Jules to understand the method of preparation for the swordfish and asked about future menus.  Last week for example, they had braised leg of hogget on the Friday dinner menu which I would have loved to try.  But it systems that it's all up to the chef--Shaina Loew-Banyan--to decide what's fresh, in season and what she's inspired to make.  We settled up, thanked both Jules and Mary Kate and were off into the chilly night read more

The low-key appearance belies the exquisite cuisine served here. Though portions are modest in size, the dishes are enormously tasty and frequently quite original. Reservations are recommended and can be challenging to obtain. Staff are friendly and helpful. Dishes are presented and there is a presumption that they will be shared as extra plates are provided. We enjoyed the octopus and oyster stew, the mutton steak, roast quail and the rigatoni entrees . The spicy mutton broth appetizer and a Butterscotch dessert completed our dinner menu. Everything was flavorful. read more

Been here so many times. Always interesting and delicious food, even if a dish is not my cup of tea. Service is lovely and real. Ambiance is consistently enjoyable, love sitting in the window spaces with friends. I've eaten so many omelettes in my life, all distant and sad memories after having one at Cafe Mutton. I now understand what an omelette is. And should be. I'm ruined for anyplace else. And the pecan sticky bun - HOLY COW!!! Just unreal. And huge. I had rice porridge once, it was blissful. There's often a pasta with mushrooms, I love it and get it whenever I can. AND WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THE MICHELADA???? World class. I would know. Don't sleep on it. read more

Everything we had for brunch was so good!! The chip omelette was unique and delicious, and the bologna sandwich was simple yet tasty. For dessert, the sticky bun is a must try and I also really enjoyed the crepes that weren't overly sweet and had a dash of salt (maybe from the butter?) which perfectly balanced out the flavors. - @nyconthetable read more

This is the sort of cafe whose menu is so straight forward you gotta stare at it for like ten minutes before you can comprehend what it is they're offering you. Because it'll be like some UK pub-ass offerings like "fried bologna sandwich" or "rice porridge" or "cheddar & onion sandwich" and you're like okay, I see this and I get it but it is like $15 so obviously its a bit more than JUST that. But then you order and it is just that but also the best possible version of that? Are you still with me??? Like I had this porridge here that was like... amazing. And I don't remember exactly what it was called but it had like bits of slow cooked pork and sauces and oranges!? and an egg and it was straight forward and warm and delicious and homey and nostalgic and other worldly. I don't know. I DONT KNOW. Then they let me try a sample of the celery soda cause I was loudly saying how I was too scared of it and even THAT shit was great. Like, what!? I dont even like normal celery but here I am drinking this like, salty refreshingly weird beverage that somehow tastes so much better than it sounds. But maybe THAT's the key to this whole menu? Things like "scrapple & eggs" but then you actually try and it you're like "oh fck, OFFAL man shit who knew." Or maybe I'm just over complicating what is simply a unique and intriguing place that, for me, wins the award for most radiators I've ever seen lining a wall. read more

Hipster brunch done extremely well. I honestly can't complain about anything when I am enjoying lunch with the soothing tunes of Notorious BIG playing in the background. Seriously, this place is a vibe. Scrapple, Bologna Sandwich, Country Patê. Honestly, we had to fight over what we wanted to order. Everything sounded delish, simple yet unique. We made great decisions on what to order. The scrapple was good! It was my first time trying it. It was definitely more bready that I expected, the flavor was nice, and the eggs and potatoes were a great pairing. The Bologna sandwich was simply delicious. Perfectly fried bologna made for a decadent treat. The pate on soft white bread was outstanding. Creamy, unctuous, I wish I had another right now. All the dishes were perfectly balanced, perfect bites. This spot is great, highly recommend! read more

I finally got there today after two years of meaning to. The swordfish with oyster mushrooms And bernaise sauce was divine. I can't wait to return to one by one try more of the menu. The waitstaff was kind and the place was adorable. I'll be back! read more

The thing that blew me away is the beauty of the menu and people. Everything on the menu works together and against itself. Somehow on 1 menu there is pate, porridge, pasta, bologna, a $15 shrimp, foie gras, and a cocktail with the word poo in it. It's like the rest of Hudson- a group of people doing whatever makes them happy and it's great. We went here twice in 18 hours. The menu changed - somehow The decor is quirky, the staff is friendly and answered everyone of my questions, the food is decadent and incredibly well executed The kitchen is exposed - and silent. Somehow through a lunch rush and brunch rush everything was spot on and not a single shout from the kitchen - perfectly orchestrated. The bologna sandwich - velvety and decadent. Only a few ingredients - but well thought out. Couldn't be made any better. The friggen crepe - fluffy and flat at the same time. Beautiful flavor - maybe buttermilk? Some other acid? Charred and barely cooked at the same time. Makes no sense The tartare - incredibly flavorful with some crunchy bits of celery? or something. The bread was just very toasted white bread. Simple and perfect The porridge - modeled as a congee with flavorful chili oil and a barely poached egg Teccione pasta - mushrooms and chives in a thin butter sauce - so rich but still light read more

I remember when Cafe Mutton opened a year or two ago. Though I visit Hudson frequently, I never went. I suppose it's because we virtually never go out for brunch. My mom had randomly told me that her best friend went there soon after it opened and raved about it, but I still didn't go. I meant to, but it wasn't a priority. But as a longtime visitor of Hudson and an even longer-time foodie, I was honestly shocked to see Cafe Mutton make all of these "Best New Restaurants in the Country" etc. etc. lists. What makes this simple restaurant so special? Its simplicity, as it turns out. Tasty, understated food, a perfectly-curated, casual vibe, wonderfully generous, down-to-earth staff, all situated in a town perfect to appreciate such a place (an artsy, ex-Brooklyn crowd, happy to live upstate but at times missing NYC). We finally visited Cafe Mutton on our most recent trip to Hudson. We were there this past Sunday, and while I worried there was no way we'd score a table, we did pretty easily. We came at around 2pm -- which is at the tail end of brunch service -- and apparently we missed an earlier rush. Eating late isn't all bad, folks. Anyway, we ordered at the counter and maybe waited 5-10 minutes for a table to open up. One of the nice things about Cafe Mutton is that it's not an overwrought, involved process. Everything is streamlined, and while you may want to sip on some coffee and stay a while, you won't need to wait long for your food or beverages and it probably won't take too long for you to gobble up what's served. But still, on certain days, camping out here and people watching could be quite fun. We sat at a table near the front of the small space, but when we go back I'm crossing my fingers that we score a table in the partially-enclosed alcove-esque space. It's got a semi-private, European-style cafe vibe going for it. I'm sure Bon Appetit and the New York Times had better lingo to describe it, but I'm intentionally not referencing those articles while writing this in the hopes of not being too redundant. Good vibes, that's all you need to know. So when we got here around 2pm, sadly they were out of quite a few menu items, including all of the daily specials. So we avoided the earlier crowds but were left with fewer things to choose from. A bummer, but not totally unexpected. Plus it's good to know they're trying to be cognizant of food waste. Plus plus, we come to Hudson a lot, so we'll work our way through the whole menu eventually. We ended up getting the chip and dip omelette (yes, it's filled with potato chips!) and the daily salad, which featured cabbage, fresh crispy breadcrumbs and a sherry vinaigrette. Both were excellent. The dressing on the salad was divine and the cabbage was ever so fresh. It's not surprising that the folks who started this wonderful venture started their journey in NYC. They serve food that caters both to locals and to other NYC-escapees, and have found a niche I honestly did not think could exist. Is it one of this country's best new restaurants? I have no idea. But it's pretty wonderful. read more

How unique! We arrived on a Saturday morning right at 10am and there was already a line. I suggest coming a little before 10am right now to ensure you get a seat inside. You order first and then the staff find you a seat. Don't be the person trying to save a seat bc they will tell you its order first and then you get a seat. We ordered their buckwheat scone with butter and jam (cherry tomatillo!!), which I really enjoyed. The scone's flakiness was perfect and I enjoyed how different it was from an ordinary scone. We also got their pate sandwich which came with mustard and pickles. Very yummy and a good chunk of pate. The special we ordered was their pork sausage with sweet potatoes, a poached egg and sunchoke (Jerusalem artichoke). The pork sausage was so tender, the sweet potatoes caramelized and roasted well, and the sunchoke was yummy! It reminded me of the mysterious grey stuff in Disney movies lol. We would definitely come back to try more things! The waitstaff was organized and friendly too. read more

Mind you, the sweet spot to arrive today seemed to be heathen hour of 11am. I pray at my meal to beat the church crowd. Great service that was attentive to cues and able to move tables without huge pressure. But Y'ALL! The food was absolutely no joke. I see why they have been on the radar to win awards. Deservedly the tomato and mayo sandwich on a locally sourced sourdough bread toasted with salted butter will be the only way that I now have the sandwich moving forward. But porridge. I didn't know it could be a savory delight with a poached egg and chili spices for an Asian slant to the dish. They have ruined me. Ruined. i will be back. read more

I'd been wanting to try this cafe for a while and was happy when I finally made it there during a recent trip to Hudson. The space is very cute, nicely decorated, unpretentious, and cozy. We ordered a couple of the specials they had that day, the country pate sandwich, and the sticky bun. Everything was so delicious! Simple yet flavorful and very well executed. Seasonal ingredients truly shine here. The sticky bun was a nice way to end our meal - super fluffy and caramelly but not too sweet. Service was friendly and attentive. I cannot wait to come back! read more

Went to Cafe Mutton for breakfast yesterday. I haven't been there since they've started table service and it was very pleasant. We got there a little after it opened. We were greeted at the door and seated with menus. The special was a beef sausage, fingerling potatoes and 2 eggs with jalapeño butter. It was delicious. The beef sausage was reminiscent of a bologna and the jalapeño butter was a good accompaniment to the creamy potatoes. I had a taste of the scrapple on toast and it was very good. It was definitely homemade and had a homemade corned beef hash texture. Went great with the sunny side eggs. We started with a fresh cinnamon bun which was still warm from the oven. It went well with the cold brew. The atmosphere was very honey and non-rushed. A couple of tables had just a single person sitting there enjoying their breakfast and reading. Very comfortable feel. read more

I booked marked this place after reading about it in the NYT. I'm so glad I did. We took a side trip on our way from down from Albany. At 11am on a Sunday, there was a long line. I think it took about 40 minutes to order. We went with the pate sandwich and salad of the day with radicchio, daikon, bread crumbs, and anchovy dressing. We got the food to go and only took about 15 minutes. While waiting, I walked around and found a chocolate shop and bought a few items there. Once we go our food, we took it to a nearby light house and sat and ate. We were floored at how good it was. There was a good amount of pate in sandwich with mustard and cornishon. For me the salad was even better with pretty purple crispy veggies and a flavorful dressing. I wish I lived closer! read more

Cute little restaurant in Hudson! Food: The food was really well made! My friends raved about the chicken porridge, particularly the chili oil used in the porridge. The sticky bun was also amazing. The honey used was great and it attracted a few bees. The scrapple and eggs were interesting. I've never had anything like scrapple before. I had originally thought it was a slice of meat but it's mostly cornmeal with some pork scraps mixed in. It wasn't for me and I thought the meal was missing a meaty component but the eggs and potatoes were great! Atmosphere: There's a little sun room near the entrance of the restaurant and it's the cutest thing ever. When we went, the room was full but if we ever find ourselves in Hudson again, we would come back just to eat in the sun room. The art is also phenomenal and I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place! read more

Took a chance on Saturday afternoon and had a great meal at Mutton. We had the duck terrine with hazelnut vinaigrette ; poached pears with ginger, crème, and brioche; crème puffs with butterscotch. The breads and brioche were delicious, and the coffee perfect. Servers were welcoming, efficient, and helpful. Certainly a distinctive dining choice in Hudson. read more

Spectacular. Cafe Mutton is a European cafe transported across the Atlantic to Hudson. Fresh, seasonal cooking, high-quality ingredients joined with classical technique. The food is playful - joyful even - as the chefs are willing to serve off cuts in an uncompromising fashion so they can share how delicious they are with a country used to being fed the same old bland chicken breasts and pork cutlets. On a recent visit we had housemade scrapple, beef tongue, country pate, and a buckwheat scone we slathered with real strawberry preserves and clotted cream. I felt as if I'd wandered into a cozy space in Alsace or Budapest. I want this to be the future of American cuisine, and I can't wait to go back. read more

This place is AWESOME!!! We came promptly at 10am on a Wednesday; no line; but within 15 min, there was a line of diverse people! Regulars, nyc folk, a mingle of people. My husband and I were greeted by the NICEST hostess. We were warmly welcomed. I swear- how the food tastes is important, but I truly feel the food is elevated if you feel embraced by genuine people and that we did. We ordered the crepes, chicken liver sandwich, pâté sandwich, and salad of the day. The food was so comforting. I could feel the love in the food. The salad was exceptional. The cabbage was SO crunchy and fresh. The anchovy dressing had the perfect amount of salt and creaminess. The salad was dressed exquisitely. Salads are battered and butchered so when you get the perfect salad you think you're in an unknown place. The hostess came by and asked us how the food was. I raved about the salad and she told us what farm they bought the cabbage and radish from. So obviously we went to the named local farmstand to get the goods. I've never done that and cafe mutton got me to do that. Obviously we got the sticky bun and orange muffin to go. AHMAZING!!! I LOVE cafe mutton. We need more places of love and taste in this world! read more

Stumbled in here on a recent Friday night in hopes of being lucky enough to get a table for dinner without a reservation -- and thankfully we managed to snag 2 open seats at the bar. Cafe Mutton was INCREDIBLE! Despite many/most of the menu items that night (bluefish? bologna?) sounding a bit odd...we risked it, ordered them anyways, and couldn't have been happier. Everything was incredibly delicious, and the service & ambiance were just lovely. You can't go wrong. read more

Cafe Mutton has only been around for a little more than a year but they've become a staple for locals and tourists alike. For those of us that have the pleasure of being full time residents of Hudson, a trip to Mutton is a weekly occurrence and we always find ourselves dining among familiar faces. While the menu is small, every day brings new specials, featuring ultra local and seasonal ingredients often making it hard to decide what you'll order that day. Do you give into your scrapple and eggs craving or take advantage of the straight-from-the-woods black trumpet mushrooms they are serving in their soft scramble? It's best to leave your preconceived notions for what a cafe should be, at home. They pride themselves on not serving trendy dishes like avocado toast and grain bowls and you won't find an oat latte or a mimosa on the menu. Instead they lean into an old world style of cooking with a meat-centric perspective. Grab a table for one of their Friday dinner services and strap in for features like sausage stuffed Turkey neck, fried pigs face, head cheese and squab (which they will blatantly refer to as pigeon). If you miss dinner, that's ok! Instead head in for breakfast the next day and you're likely to find some dishes that use some of Friday night's specials like a French-onion chip and dip omelette. And if you're in town for the weekend and have a kid in tow or are with your more basic friends who "don't feel like ordering anything but know you've been dying to try this place", just order them a sticky bun. That'll shut them up and keep them occupied for a good 40 minutes while you enjoy your rice porridge. read more

I've been following mutton since they opened, but I work in restaurants so I never have a day off that they're open. I got a surprise vacation, so we booked a hotel room and drove 90 minutes from Newburgh specifically to eat here for breakfast today, and dinner tomorrow. You'd think that'd be way too much anticipation to live up to, but oh man is it good. Everybody's so nice and the food is so great and the space is so homey, I'm like a Cafe Mutton stan now. The "sausage made from chicken hearts served over potato chips on grandma's dinnerware with a raisin martini" could turn out gimmicky, but it's executed so well that it just feels like a great cooks serving food they want to eat, and it's the place everybody's gonna be ripping off in 5 years.

I drank the kool-aid, or the house-made soda, and am a true devotee and admirer of Café Mutton. Savory side is top-notch+ and don't miss the sticky bun! Or muffin.
