Love at first bite
I'm always surprised by the number of people unaware of Gabagool. Right off of Post Road in the center of town. The owners and staff are top notch and the cocktails and Mediterranean food are consistently fresh, unique, and keep me coming back. The i...
Gabagool
Our go-to because we always run into friends there. American food but elevated. Open air seating and wonderful cocktails.
The Chelsea | Home | Fairfield
Get a table outside to see and be seen! OTP, as we call it, is in the center of town. Adjacent to Sacred Heart Community Theatre, which you should also check out!
Old Post Tavern | Fairfield, CT
A social hotspot! Fun food and drinks and a lovely brunch. The decor is beautiful and the outdoor seating area feels like a resort. Best to make a reservation.
The Sinclair
A hidden gem, not in the center of town, but well worth a visit. Unique food and friendly staff. Always a good meal here.
Ola Latin Kitchen - Latin American Cuisine with a European Twist
For brick oven style pizza and a social scene
Sophie's Pizza Bar
Authentic Mexican food from family recipes. You won't find a better margarita anywhere else.
Tequila Revolucion
Huge bar and fun outdoor seating space. My favorite place for sangria and tapas
Barcelona Wine Bar
If you consider yourself a foodie, you need to go here. Hands down one of the best restaurants in Fairfield County. The chef and bartenders are excellent! They often walk around to check in with everyone. They take great pride in what they do.
Brick Walk Tavern
Outdoorsy
Family-friendly and generally less crowded than Penfield. Has Bathrooms and a little snack bar.
Jennings Beach
Fairfield's largest beach. There's a beautiful pavilion, playground, and snack bar.
Penfield Beach | CTvisit
A gorgeous walk any time of year. Follow the trail around the lake. Dogs love this path, be sure to have them leashed.
Lake Mohegan
Sandcastle Park has built-in adventures. My kids used to spend hours here. Just a few steps to the beach so there's a whole day of activity with not having to schedule anything! Easy!
Henry Rowland Park "The Sand Castle" Playground
It's 5:00 somewhere
There's always something going on at Elicit. It's a restaurant, a brewery, a bar, a multi-use space. Live bands, country line dancing, book clubs, artisan markets, you name it, it happens at Elicit.
Elicit Brewing Co - Fairfield
One of Fairfield's best kept secrets. This is one of my absolute favorite spots. Cozy, speakeasy style, light food and the best cocktails you might ever have. The Lavender Martini is my go-to.
JB Percival Cocktail Bar and Lounge
Always a crowd here because it's the perfect place for any sort of casual gathering. Family-, teen-, sports lover- friendly and one of the only restaurants that stays open late.
Colony Grill - Fairfield
A night out
Recently renovated, Sacred Heart University revived this gem. Live music, comedians, educational programs, movies, Broadway performers, etc. Get on the mailing list! A great night out is to eat at Old Post Tavern or Ryebird (bonus if outdoor seating ...
Sacred Heart Community Theatre
Live bands, dance parties, indie films, fairs, and so much more always happening at FTC. Check out their calendar. Many bars and restaurants within a couple blocks for before and after shows.
Fairfield Theatre Company Box Office
Ok, not Fairfield, but very nearby. Outdoor concert venue with something for everyone. Never had a bad time here. Love the “bar” seating.
Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater
Grab & go
Amazing sandwiches! Also salads and catering at reasonable prices.
Agusto's Italian Deli
This is where I go when I'm short on time or just plain old don't want to cook. Ready-made options in refrigerated section as well as a little more gourmet at the counter. The desserts are wonderful and there's some GF options that are just as delici...
The Pantry
Such a cute spot with a bit of everything…coffee bar, breakfast, deli, pre-made dinners.
Greenfield Hill Market
We often pick up food here and head down to the beach. Salad bar, soups (best in town imo), sandwiches, coffee, and breakfast. Funky little place with a fun vibe.
Chef's Table Fairfield
On Black Rock Turnpike and offers full meals. You can get sandwiches, soups, and salads too, but the homemade meals are what keep me coming back. A nice option for when you want to provide a meal for a friend or loved one.
FRED 06825
Super fresh seafood, which is the only kind you want, right? Grab some sushi or rolls too
Nordic Fish – Seafood and Fresh Fish Market in Fairfield, CT
Caffeine & more
So excited about this recent addition to Black Rock Tpke. Excellent coffee, smoothies, bowls, sandwiches, sweet and savory breakfasts. Some great GF and V options. Limited items are available via pre-order.
Roost Kitchen + Coffee
French cafe but make it Fairfield. Delish coffee and breakfast and the kitchen has been expanded to include sandwiches. You gotta check out the desserts, their coconut cake is to die for.
