Hanover Is A Small Town With Only 8,000 Residents But Has Some Of The Best Food In New Hampshire

Calling all foodies!

Big cities get all the kudos when it comes to food culture, but there are plenty of small towns that can easily rival the best of them. Consider Hanover, New Hampshire. Hanover is certainly on the smaller side — about 8,500 people live here — and is best known for being the home of Dartmouth College. However, as you can probably guess, a top college also inspires top restaurants to spring up.

There are some amazing restaurants to try in Hanover while you spend a day exploring the town: We're talking delightful bakeries, farm-to-table restaurants, and all kinds of global cuisine, from Nepalese food to Thai dishes to Spanish favorites.

Hanover, New Hampshire is above all else known for being the home of Dartmouth. Naturally, the small town has some pretty trendy food options.

The best one, in our opinion, is Base Camp Cafe. It's Nepalese food, so you'll get to try a cuisine rarely available in a warm, beautiful setting.

PINE is the restaurant to visit when you're looking for some fresh, farm-to-table fare in town.

Murphy's On the Green is a classic pub, but don't worry, the food is still to die for.

Lou's Restaurant and Bakery sells breakfast all day long, so we're sold. And while the egg sandwiches are delicious, their pastries are renowned throughout the area.

Maybe you're more in the mood for Thai food. Swing by Tuk Tuk Thai Cuisine for the best the town has to offer.

One of our favorite options is Candela Tapas Lounge. Who doesn't love small plates to share with friends?

So, the next time you have a hankering for truly excellent food in New Hampshire, consider spending time in Hanover. You'll have too many options to try!
