Breakfast
These places might do more than breakfast but it's where they shine
As a native NYer, RI bagels just don't hold a candle to my NY beauties but Providence Bagel comes pretty dang close. Their cinnamon rolls are also incredible.
Providence Bagel
1
Great traditional greasy spoon style diner
Cindy's Diner and Restaurant
Lunch & Dinner
This is where my entire monthly budget for food goes and it's totally worth it
Portions are large, prices are amazing and food is just absolutely delicious. Lobster Mac and the Chicken Parm are a few faves
Laura's Bar and Grill
One of our favorite places for sushi. They have a tatami room for a more authentic experience and BYOB. You can check out our adult beverage list for a sake recommendation too
Sakura Restaurant
This is our usual Chinese restaurant for take-out. Their boneless ribs beat out almost every other restaurant on the area by far
Tin Tsin Restaurant
This is our usual spot when we're feeling Pho. Their scallion pancakes and crab rangoons are also 10/10
Pho Horn's
We got a gift card here and we're a little skeptical to try it out but we were wowed and love coming here. A bit pricier but portions are huge and food is so dang good. Can't go wrong with the lomo saltado and a pitcher of sangria
Los Andes
Sweets & Treats
We have a huge sweet tooth so of course we have a ton of recommendations!
Phenomenal ice cream, delicious ice cream pies and the smell of freshly made waffle cones will make you salivate!
Moose Trackers Ice Cream & Confections
1
10/10 ice cream! You have to try the Raspberry Roadrunner but be warned you'll dream about it all the time once you have it
Lincoln Creamery
Delicious baked goods and of course ice cream. You can visit their milk cows outside too. These guys did our wedding cake which was so yummy!
Wright's Dairy Farm and Bakery
2
Super yummy Italian desserts, plus a full wine and coffee bar
Pastry Land Bakery
Huge selection of candy - everything from mass manufactured to handmade options
Pearls Candy & Nuts

You can't visit RI and not get a Del's. No spoon, no straw and with a pretzel stick is how the locals do it
