Dine In Europe

If you’re looking for new dining experiences or you’re a seasoned culinary traveler looking for a new place to explore, you will definitely appreciate the authentic food and drink that can be found here in Rhode Island’s Blackstone Valley.

 

Because of its rich history, our small and humble region now boasts one of the most authentic food experiences in all of the United States. But don’t take our word for it. Come and taste the abundant global flavors that cross 5 continents and over 40 countries. And what better place to begin your mouth-watering journey, across Europe.

Travel Europe By Way Of Your Palate!

Do what the British do! Relax with a traditional British afternoon tea at Val’s English Tea & Pie Shop! Sip your tea while enjoying a tiered tray of pastries, sandwiches, customer-favorite scones, and savory sausage rolls. It’s an experience fit for royalty as your hostess delights you with stories from her life across the pond!

 

Continue to Woonsocket for Ye Olde English Fish & Chips, serving the city for over 100 years with the original recipe that owner Steve Robinson’s great-grandfather brought over from Bradford, England. A unique dish loved by locals and not found anywhere else is their fish cakes, which have two thin slices of potatoes, with fish in the middle and a thicker batter. 

For flavors of Italy, Tavolo Wine Bar & Tuscan Grille in Smithfield is one of the go-to restaurants for this style of cuisine and their award-winning wine list. A favorite on the menu is the braised pulled beef served over gnocchi or pappardelle with asparagus tips. 

 

Krakow Deli has possibly some of the best pierogies you will find around. Folks travel from far and wide just to stock up on their potato and cabbage pierogies! The shop is full of many Polish specialties and treats, and the owners also offer classes so you can learn to make your own pierogies at home.
