Experience Woodstock Through Food

Oriole 9 is a delicious, wholesome restaurant run by Pierre-Luc Moeys and Nina Paturel in the heart of Woodstock. It is open every day, from 8:30 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon, and has a charming array of chairs and sofa seating available for customers. The menu boasts a wonderful compilation of organic breakfasts and lunches, which the owners also extend to a business in catering, a restaurant in Saugerties called Cafe with Love, and another soon-to-be-opened restaurant called Yum Yum Noodle Bar, which will also be in Woodstock. If you are interested in good food and nice atmosphere, please visit this wonderful addition to the Woodstock food scene.

To enjoy a pleasant lunch, dinner, or even brunch on Sunday, Violette is a fabulous place to stop. Opened in 2003 by Culinary Institute graduate Chef Daniel Rabiner, Violette is both a restaurant and a wine bar, and is a place run with the human palate in mind. Daniel and his mother Gladys, a French Culinary Institute graduate, work together to create interesting, flavorful food for their customers. The family run establishment is open every day except Wednesday, and is one of the first restaurants you will encounter on your way into Woodstock from the thruway. So if you've had a long day traveling to our town, treat yourself to a great dinner at a superb restaurant.
