Restaurants

Williamsburg abounds in restaurants catering to tourists. Most national chain, fast food, and family restaurants have outlets on Richmond Road (U.S. 60) west of town.

Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Taverns

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation runs four reconstructed 18th-century "ordinaries" or taverns. They aim at authenticity in fare, ambience, costuming of the staff, and entertainment by wandering balladeers. Dinner at one of the taverns is a necessary ingredient of the Williamsburg experience. Their seasonal hours and menus change often, so what I write here may be inaccurate by the time you arrive. Current offerings are posted out front and at the ticket booth on Henry Street at Duke of Gloucester Street, and are available at the visitor center, so you can see what's being served before making your reservations.

Restaurants in Merchants Square

The Merchants Square commercial area at the west end of the Historic Area has several restaurants and bars to satisfy your appetite and slake your thirst. Aromas, at 431 Prince George St. (tel. 757/221-6676), is the area's favorite coffee house.
