There’s no doubt about it – city restaurants get the most hype, the most media coverage, and usually, the most diners. But as great as the dining scene is in New Hampshire’s cities, anyone who doesn’t venture outside them is not making the most of the dining options in the Granite State. The 7 restaurants below – some of them fancy destinations, some of them casual neighborhood spots – might be a little out of your way, but they are more than worth the trip.
