My husband and I are on our honeymoon in the White Mountains and came across this great restaurant in our way to Vermont. Fabulous food and ambiance. We loved the quiche and chicken and Cuban sandwiches. Great service ... great food! read more

Food is good but service is lacking. I called at 5:00, asked about seating for 1. No tables but we can seat you at the bar. I'll see you around 6. No, 5:45 or 6:15 I was told OK Ill be there before 6. Arrived at 5:45. No one at bar. I sat in the middle and wait staff pointed to a seat at one end and told me I was seated there. No, this is good here. Was told we had two people call in that might show up, we will seat them there. I said "well, I called and I am present. I'd like to sit here, there are two seats next to me". The waitress insisted I must sit at the end. I left as I did not feel welcome. I walked by an hour later, restaurant had open tables, 2 people seated at bar. read more

While staying in Bethlehem we found this charming restaurant on the recommendation of our host. It is a tiny cafe tucked right on 302 across from the theater. RekLis was not open the Wednesday night we visited so we were very happy when Cold Mtn was. First I want to say that the service was superb. Truly wonderful people made us feel very welcome and cared after. We brought our young kids and while I wouldn't necessarily do that again, it was fine. The beer and wine list is not extensive but it has some great local options (beer) and well selected wines, along with a fun looking cocktail list. I am sorry that I did not get to try the bean patty that is their special- my daughter wanted to share salmon and so salmon it was. Well cooked high quality fish with a nice fruit salsa. Good entree. My wife got the curried cauliflower which was not a traditional presentation but nonetheless tasty. We also had the roasted peach salad with mozzarella and tomato that was superb. Overall it is a fine option in Bethlehem, especially if you want to go somewhere to really have a nice long meal/ talk in a charming atmosphere. read more

A very pretentious hole in the wall. If traveling don't waste your time. The dried up hostess apparently thought we were trash. Go on to Littleton Freehouse and have a good meal and drinks in a wonderful atmosphere read more

Traveling around the area we stopped by thIs place and what an amazing surprise the food was so fresh and delicious! Cappuccino! Local soft drinks! They also have a full bar for those interested. Another highly recommended establishment. Tell Megan we said hello! read more

Cold Mountain Cafe - New American Near Me - Bethlehem, New Hampshire

A jewel in the white mountains! Soups are homemade and are amazing. I had a smoked turkey sandwich, though sounding simple, was out Of this world. Fresh daily specials. Prices are reasonable and atmosphere is warm and inviting. Definitely check it out !! read more

This was highly recommended to us so we called and made a reservation for 5. Everything was AMAZING - great cocktails, perfectly poured beers, chicken pot pie, the curry style dish was my favorite and the steak tasted like it was from my favorite Boston steak house. It's super cute & small so I'd recommend calling for a reservation. read more

WOW, this place is seriously good! It is so unassuming, but the food and cocktails are absolutely delicious. My husband and I were visiting the area from Boston and stopped here for dinner based on a friend's recommendation. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food and drinks were excellent. Our food took a bit longer than normal to come out, but it was quite busy and I'm sure covid has made things more difficult in that regard. It was nice to sit outside with a cocktail while waiting. HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for low key, delicious food!! read more

We had a free night staying local at the Mount Washington Resort and went to Bethlehem. Was pleasantly surprised with the unique and sophisticated menu at Cold Mountain Cafe. Food and service was excellent. read more

This restaurant is awesome! The first times I went for lunch last year I had an avocado and cheddar cheese sandwich with honey mustard- it was excellent. The soups are also very good, and I believe they have a vegetarian option every day. I wanted to go back, because I loved what I had remembered of the year before, so I went for dinner this past week with some friends. We all loved it. I had the black bean cake, which was amazing. I will definitely come back. read more

We found this little place on Yelp and decided to stop for an early dinner on our way to the Mount Washington Hotel for a weekend getaway just 20 minutes down the road. We're both vegetarian so we were really happy to see a nice selection of vegetarian plates on the menu. We split the black bean cakes and "the stack". Both were really well executed and presented beautifully. The black bean cake dish in particular was off-the-charts delicious. Perfect texture, really yummy flavors and garnished exquisitely. All the flavors come together amazingly well. If you're unsure about trying this because you're worried it might be "just another black bean burger thing"... worry ye not... it is nothing like any black bean burger thing you have ever had before. We liked this little spot so much, we came back on Sunday for their final brunch before closing for mud season. We split the salmon crepes and the waffles. Perfect! I highly recommend that as a combo to split with your better (or even worse) half. Service was very friendly, gracious and always with a smile. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and expert preparation you're getting. Our only regret is that we didn't try the desserts. We'll just have to return to correct that. read more

First visit, but not my last. Exquisite cuisine that outstrips almost anything here in the north country. Eclectic offering of dishes that entertain the most discerning palate. I lived overseas for many years and find Cold Mountain Cafe to be competitive with the best cafes I visited. Warm, cozy atmosphere with delightful staff make this highly recommended for visitors and an absolute must for we locals. read more

Food was surprisingly good. Sat at the bar and really enjoyed the bartender. We are in town for the whole weekend so may find ourselves back at the Cold Mountain Cafe. read more

What a GREAT place! My wife, daughter, and I sat outside under an umbrella and enjoyed a surprisingly good lunch at the Cold Mountain Cafe. Black bean cake salad: Outstanding. I've never had anything quite like it but would order it again in a heart beat. Turkey sandwich: Excellent. What really made it stand out was the fluffy, soft, fresh bread. Gazpacho: So good. Easily one of the best bowls of gazpacho I've eaten. We'll definitely be back to this little gem in Bethlehem, NH whenever we're in the area. It's worth mentioning that they did not accept credit cards. read more

We went here because we saw a bunch of favorable reviews but our experience did not measure up to what those people reported. My wife had the salmon dinner and was disappointed how small the portion was for the price charged. The salmon was not flavorful at all, the rice was hard, and the pineapple in the "pineapple salsa" did not appear to be in the mix. I had the paella and was also disappointed at how small the serving was for the price charged. I have had this dish at numerous places around the country and this one stands out as the worst. The rice was also "crispy" and there was no saffron evident. Anyone who has had legitimate paella will be shocked. Don't get it! Then, the price for two draft beers was $18. Really? The glasses weren't even big enough to hold what would come from a bottle. Would we go back. The answer is s resounding NO! read more

Bet dining experience in the location hands down. Came here with my family while on vacation. Table of 7 so we ate lots of different dishes.. Everyone enjoyed theirs and we all tried eachothers! Only complaint would be service. Our server wasn't very knowledgeable about menu items or questions we had about certain preparations about dishes. Either way, very recommendable! Again, best in the area. 9/10 read more

My husband and I are away for our 5 year anniversary and decided to go to the White Mountains. We came across the Cold Mountain Cafe when looking for a place for dinner! Wow- Look no further! This place has it all: Delightful ambience, attentive staff, and top notch wonderful food. I ordered the black bean cake and a lovely glass of Pinot Noir and my husband ordered the pork special and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon! Wow my black bean cake was on a nice bed of spinach with yummy goat cheese and warm delicious ginger dressing. We enjoyed our meals and the whole experience! We finished our meal with a cookie each for dessert! Yum Definitely call for a reservation! The place is quaint! And if it's just 2 of you definitely get a cozy seat by the window! Our compliments to the Chef! The presentation, taste, and quality of the food was amazing! read more

Cute spot , friendly warm staff and great food! A must check out if you are in the area. My husband and I live in Austin but originally from NYC.. we know good food and appreciate awesome service. We got both at cold mountain cafe and can't wait to go back again. read more

We had the most delicious meal at Cold Mountain Cafe tonight. Being bored of the food at our hotel, we decided to venture out and Yelp saved the day again. Based on the stellar reviews here we decided to give this place a try. We were enthusiastically welcomed and seated right away. We arrived right around 6pm on a Wednesday night and glad we did. About a half hour later the place was packed. We started out with the stuffed dates wrapped in bacon. Very rich and yummy. For an entree I had the Indian lamb stew and my son had the "Stack is Back"; a stack of fried eggplant, polenta, ricotta and mozzarella cheese. Both were really good. The lamb stew had tons of flavor and filled with all kinds of goodies including spinach, butternut squash and some kind of bits of fruit we couldn't identify all served over couscous. The stack was drenched in the most amazing sweet red pepper and honey sauce. For dessert my son and I split the amaretto cheesecake. It was so fresh and creamy and the crust was divine. All in all an excellent experience here and if we ever find our way from San Diego to this area again, we would love to stop for another wonderful meal. read more

Five stars for great food. Eclectic menu, Something for everyone, commendable for such a small restaurant. However, it must be said that they do not deserve five stars otherwise. We eat here all the time, and the service runs from poor to rude. They have the worst telephone manners of any restaurant I've ever dealt with. The female staff is so cold and rude that you wonder if they are fearful of customers. You may find the ambience romantic or just plain horrible, depending on your preferences! It is a tiny restaurant, and gets noisy fast. In the summer, you get to hear the screen door slam shut frequently during your dining. In the winter, you get the blast of freezing cold air to make you feel quite uncomfortable as people come and go. There is no vestibule to temper the situation. But back to the food! Even if you're not a vegetarian, you must try the black bean cakes! We have done take out with them, and even after three days in the fridge, they are divine! The salads are great, the salmon is a perpetual favorite. For the best experience, go when it is not busy, sit in the window or by the kitchen, and bring your sense of humor. Oh, bring $$cash as they do not take any credit cards. Checks or cash, wow! You will need to ask for refills of water and other common-sense needs to be fulfilled. Most of the time, silverware and a napkin will be at the table but not always! read more

I ate here with a friend on the second night at a stay at the Omni Bretton Arms Inn (part of the huge complex of the Omni Mount Washington Resort). After a disappointing meal and somewhat disastrous experience (for the price) at the Mount Washington Resort's Rosebrook Bar, this restored my good faith in restaurants which serve excellent, healthy fare for an honest price. I loved the salmon SO MUCH! Very delicious and reasonably priced. Can't tell you how glad I am that I didn't eat at Stickney's up the hill where the salmon was 39 bucks. Salads featured fresh, local ingredients. Such a change from the Omni's Rosebrook food again. The restaurant is quite small, but there is a lot of space on the patio. I'd love to see the flooring changed to match the rest of the bright colors and the generally fabulous funky hippy arty vibe. I loved the art on the walls and wanted to buy every painting displayed. Bathrooms, equally funky, arty, and cute. Bar has hundreds of coins from all over the world as its top. I don't drink, but it is a fun thing to see. Waitstaff was excellent. I did not like my dessert, too sweet, but still it was well-made. Definitely worth a visit. I will go back if I'm ever up that way again. read more

Simply amazing, they even cooked up something special for my kids for dinner.... Great drinks.... Fish Stew was to die for ....

Went for dinner with the extended family while on vacation a few weeks ago. Was hoping for something special -- the place has a really inviting vibe. Big disappointment was the service -- and the attitude that went with it. We were a party of six and had to combine two four-top tables ourselves so we could sit together -- no one seemed to want to help us. Once seated, it took awhile before the waitress came to take our drink orders. When she returned, she dropped the entire tray of drinks and glasses of water onto our table, soaking half of us as a result. OK, sometimes things like that happen. But we didn't get anything other than a barely audible "sorry" and were then left to figure out where to move to and -- yet again -- had to combine two tables ourselves. Service was rather slow and unresponsive from that point forward. The food was pretty good -- nothing to rave about and nothing to complain about. With some of the dishes, just a modest modification would have been enough to make the dish one to highly recommend. If ever back in this part of NH, not sure we'd go back to this restaurant again. We had just as good or better meals and much better experiences at a few other restaurants in the area. read more

When we travel I don't like to eat at the same place twice. So many restaurants so much great food. But we did this time, Had brunch on Sunday and dinner on Thursday . Both were delicious. The tuna salad on Sunday was close to perfect. Not too much mayonnaise . Beautiful presentation. Tuna on mixed greens,even a flower. I loved the salad dressing on the side,too Dinner I had the eggplant stak? mixed vegetables with a pesto sauce We also had the fish special .... Flaky,tender, moist not a tartar sauce fan,but have to say it was good. For dessert the hummingbird cake. Nice cream cheese with nuts frosting. Sat outside beautiful night . The server was very charming from Denmark. read more

Well....I can't say anything about the food because I didn't get to this point. I made a reservation 2 days in advance and everything seemed fine. Problem wasx when I showed up, the lady who took the reservation over the phone didn't write it down. Usually that wouldn't be to big a deal. But I work as a tour leader. And when you have 11 hungry passengers and you then have to scramble to fund an alternative in this area isn't an easy task. VERY DISAPOINTED!!! read more

My boyfriend and I came upon Cold Mountain Cafe quite hungry and left extremely satisfied. We were met with a kind hello from our server, I believe her name is Jess. Throughout our stay, she was personable and sweet - she gave us the low down on some local places to visit (visiting from Manhattan). Super sweet gal! As for the food, here is what we ordered: Black Bean Cake: This was delicious, we housed it in no time. It was served on a bed of greens, sliced almonds and a few well placed portions of goat cheese. Fantastic for the taste buds. Butternut Squash Soup: Equally as yummy. Grilled Chicken II: This was pretty good, the bread was very fresh and the chicken was tender. If I could change one thing, I would have made it less runny ( dressing ). I still finished it, so. The service was excellent, the decor is very unique with handmade jewelry on the walls for sale. It has a very "home-y" feel to it, and it seems to be a well known spot for locals. read more

Delicious meal and great service. The dates appetizer was amazing. We got there around 6:30 pm and we were seated right away, but then by 7:00 there were 3 parties waiting to be seated. They don't take reservations, so you have to hope for the best, but it's definitely worth the trip. read more

Being from out of state and only going by the OPEN sign on the front door, we walked in at 3 on the dot hoping to score a quick cup of coffee. There was one woman outside who asked what we needed and mentioned that they were closing for a few hours but that we could ask inside if they could make us a coffee. We went in and another woman was behind the bar, asked what we wanted and angrily agreed to make us a coffee. She ran to the back and I could hear her cursing about how irritated that she was. So we decided to leave so that we could enjoy a cup sans spit or a sneeze. If you're looking for an excellent cup of coffee or treat, keep on heading down the road to Maia Papaya, you won't be disappointed or unwelcome there! read more

Came by here this past Tuesday and sat outside on the patio. The breeze from being high up in Bethlehem is the best compliment to al fresco dinning. The place is quaint and utilizes local fresh meat and veggies. Kate the owner was super down to earth and very friendly. I had the paella and it was spicy and filling. Girlfriend chose an asian style dish and she loved it. Really a must stop if you're heading to Mt Washington for lunch or after for dinner! read more

The reservation situation was a little disorganized. They had a mostly empty restaurant when we got there (and for the full time we ate) and could only offer patio seating and we had to wait because they wouldn't seat our party of 2 at a 4 top. I had an Indian dish and it was perfect. I did order a salad with my meal, but that never came out. My boyfriend had the salmon dish and while it was good the portion was very small - small piece of fish, small portion or rice and veg. We will try this place again with inside seating. read more

I visited the White Mountains a couple weeks ago and wound up eating here twice! The menu looked so good when I ordered takeout the first night that I came back a second night and tried a different entree while eating out on the patio. Food was delicious, service was friendly, and the beer selection was great! I definitely recommend this place and will be back next time I'm in town! read more

Service was good. I ate outside, there is a nice little patio. The noise from the street makes it a little loud, but is great to watch people come and go. The crab cakes were good, nice and crunchy. The sweet chili sauce was delicious. I had the black bean cake as an entree. It was good, make sure you like ginger before you order it. The ginger dressing is gingery . The salad was fresh and tasty. The wine is served in small glasses, but they fill them to the brim. All and all, I enjoyed dinner here immensely, and look forward to going again! read more

A Foodie Find in the White Mountains--- Delicious, well thought out cuisine, with a price point to make a vacationer smile. One of the best meals we had in New Hampshire. It's a modest place, with slightly kitsch decor, but that is readily taken over by the sense of satisfaction that comes with knowing you found a place with good wines by the glass or bottle, a friendly knowledgeable staff, and really delicious fare. We came for lunch one day,and because our stay was coming to an end, cancelled our four stay hotel restaurant reservation in exchange for a cozy meal here. Delightful. read more

Cozy and intimate. Great place for a romantic date night or dinner out with friends. The cheese slate appetizer was very good (too many olives for me) and both of our entres were very good although my paella was a small portion for the price. read more
