New Hope-Lambertville Serving Restaurant Week: Here's Where To Find The Best Eats And Vibes

NEW HOPE-LAMBERTVILLE — Two of the most celebrated dining scenes in the Delaware Valley are preping its kitchens for a memorable two weeks of culinary goodness.

The Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce are joining forces to present New Hope-Lambertville Restaurant Week 2026 from Jan. 12 to 25 featuring a banquet of dishes ranging from local favorites to exclusive off-menu offerings.

During the mouthwatering two week celebration of food, more than two dozen acclaimed restaurants from both sides of the Delaware River will offer specially priced prix fixe three-course lunch and/or dinner menus ranging from $25 to $55 each, providing diners with an exceptional culinary experience.

"New Hope and Lambertville Restaurant Week is the best of both worlds. It is a win-win for foodies and culinary enthusiasts from both Pennsylvania and New Jersey," said New Hope Chamber President Michael Sklar, who also co-owns Oldestone Steakhouse and GreenHouse in New Hope. "We are thrilled to bring together some of the most celebrated and most beautiful restaurants on both sides of the river for this grand two week event that will feature some of our culinary community's best chefs, dishes, wines and cocktails."

Sklar added, "There's something for every taste and type of cuisine - to every setting and vibe. Come as you are for a casual weeknight out with friends and neighbors, or get dressed up and make it a special date night on the town."

Participating Pennsylvania restaurants include Birds Nest Bar & Grille, Black Bass Hotel, GreenHouse New Hope, Ferry + Main Restaurant at the Logan Inn, Golden Pheasant Inn, Italian Cucina, Martine’s Riverhouse, Nektar Wine Bar, OldeStone Steakhouse, River House at Odette’s, The Ferry Market and V-Spot Vegan Food Restaurant, plus others to be announced. Clusters Handcrafted Popcorn will also offer specials for restaurant week diners visiting New Hope.

Participating New Jersey restaurants include Broadmoor Osteria Italiana, El Tule, Lambertville Station Restaurant and Inn, Metá Café, Nomad Pizza Lambertville, Pru Thai, The Salt House, The Starving Artists Cafe and Under The Moon, plus others to be announced.

"Explore Lambertville is excited to partner with Visit New Hope again in 2026 to bring Restaurant Week to our community,” said Carolyn Gadbois, vice president of the Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce. “After the big holiday push settles, we welcome locals from the region and visitors from Philadelphia and beyond to take the opportunity to try some of the best cuisine we have to offer in our shared River Towns.”

Gadbois emphasized that the timing of Restaurant Week plays a meaningful role in supporting the local business community.

“Dining out during January can have a profound impact on our restaurants by keeping them steady during a traditionally slower part of the year,” she added. “By collaborating on this initiative, both chambers recognize the value of our unique restaurants and how their success strengthens the entire River Valley.”

For Sklar, Restaurant Week is as much about storytelling as it is about dining and food.

“New Hope and Lambertville are places where history, creativity, and hospitality intersect,” said Sklar. “Our restaurants reflect that, from centuries-old inns to modern, chef-driven concepts. Restaurant Week gives people a reason to explore both towns, try something new, and experience just how much character and quality exists within a few walkable blocks along the river.”

Sklar also noted the broader impact of Restaurant Week beyond the dining room.

“When our restaurants thrive, the entire community benefits, shops, galleries, hotels, and local events all feel that momentum,” he said. “Restaurant Week is an invitation to be part of that ecosystem and support the small, independent businesses that define who we are."

Reservations are now being taken for some of the best eats, wine lists, views and vibes in the tri-state region. Menus, hours and price points are posted here. New menus are being posted daily leading up to the event.
