Get to Know Litchfield
Things to Eat
@ the Corner
Located in the center of downtown Litchfield, @ the Corner is a great place to grab breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a drink. You'll find great sandwiches and traditional American fare, a casual bar area, and a lively neighborhood vibe.
A Mano - Arethusa Bakery
Both the Arethusa Farms bakery and creamery are worth visiting. A Mano has excellent coffee and a wide variety of delicious, fresh-baked goods. After breakfast, make sure to stop by the creamery across the street. It's a difficult choice — to buy ice cream or cheese?
West Street Grill
In the heart of downtown Litchfield, the West Street Grill was rated "Best American" restaurant in Connecticut in 2017. We love the seafood. If you're looking to sit down for a nice meal, this is a can't miss spot. Reservations recommended.
The Village
The ideal neighborhood bar — it's hard to say enough good things about The Village. Great food, excellent craft beer selection, and interesting cocktails. There's something for everyone at this family-friendly Litchfield staple.
Things to Drink
Litchfield Distillery
A relative newcomer to Litchfield, the Litchfield Distillery offers a cozy tasting room and interesting tours. Their samplings and innovative cocktails make this a good stop for the drink explorer.
Litchfield wineries
Litchfield is nestled in the middle of the Connecticut wine trail. There are five wineries within a ten-minute drive of the center of Litchfield, each with interesting wines and picturesque views. We really like Sunset Meadow Vineyards for the outdoor seating.
