Breakfast and Lunch in Leeds NY
- Lindsay’s $ – with a cute retro diner atmosphere and friendly servers, this is one of our favorites for breakfast or lunch. Reasonably priced, locals consistently nominate (and award) Lindsay’s in a few of the food categories of The Best of Greene County. My go to is their Caprese Chicken sandwich pictured below.
- Gracie’s Luncheonette $$ – enjoy local sourced scratch-made food and baked goods with beautiful views of the Catskill Creek. It’s popular so if this is a must-see call to reserve a table and I recommend asking to sit at a table with a view of the Creek.

Quick, friendly service and consistently delish food with daily specials. Known for their fried chicken, the menu features salads, burgers, pizza and entrees.

Dinner in Leeds NY
- Piccolo Trattoria $$$ – this authentic Italian restaurant open features excellent service and delicious meals along with a full bar. It’s a perfect place for a date night or gathering with friends. Make sure to reserve a table in advance, it becomes booked out often. I have reserved on the link from their Google listing and that worked perfectly.
- Casa Susanna $$$$ – this trendy restaurant offers a unique take on Mexican food. If you like interesting dishes and are a foody looking for an experience, this would be a place not to miss. You’ll spend about $50-100 per person, and it’s not “Tex-Mex” food. If interested, I would make a reservation well in advance on resy, because it is a destination restaurant, serving Dinner and weekend Brunch.
