Main Street Bistro New Paltz | Creative American Brunch Since 1993

Join me for a delicious trip down memory lane at Main Street Bistro in downtown New Paltz — a beloved local gem that’s been delighting patrons since owners Doug & Teresa Thompson took over on July 1, 1993.

🍽️ What We Experienced:

  • Classic & creative brunch fare—think Salmon Hash with hollandaise, hearty breakfast specials, and inventive sandwiches like the Santa Cruz
  • Consistently excellent food with generous portions, charming down-to-earth service, and a bustling college-town atmosphere.
  • A menu that even earned “Best Breakfast in the Hudson Valley 2020” from Hudson Valley Magazine

👨‍🍳 What Makes It Special:

  • The Bistro’s roots date back decades—a fixture in town with a solid 25+ years under its belt
  • Doug Thompson, the owner, is a SUNY alumnus, ex-punk drummer turned restaurateur, who built a loyal staff—many with over 15 years of service
  • Launched dinner hours in 2024 featuring a fresh Vietnamese‑vegan menu, all while keeping the iconic daytime menu intact

✅ Why You’ll Love It:

  • Perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and now even dinner.
  • Friendly, familiar service—staff often know you by name
