West Hartford is home to some of the most incredible dining experiences! Here are just a few of my favorites. If your tastebuds are set on a burger and a good family restaurant, look no farther than Max Burger and Plan B, these two locations will not disappoint and Max Burger has seasonal outdoor seating! If it’s date night, then take a stroll over to Arugula Bistro for a small cozy feel and the most incredible flavors strait from the Mediterranean. However, if seafood is calling your name don’t miss Max’s Oyster for some of the most incredible jumbo shrimp and a seafood tower that will have you coming back for more!
Finally, if you are out and about and need something to start your day, don’t miss Hartford Baking Company for the most delicious avocado toast! If an egg sandwich or pancakes is on your mind stop by Quaker Diner for an old fashion experience and the best egg sandwich.
