About Terrapin Restaurant & Bistro
Terrapin is Rhinebeck’s most iconic restaurant, offering an upscale farm-fresh dining experience split between two settings: the elegant main dining room (in a soaring former chapel) and the more casual bistro/bar in the attached parish hall. Chef/owner Josh Kroner’s seasonally changing menus highlight local Hudson Valley produce, dairy, and meats in artful New American dishes – think pan-seared duck breast with apple cider gastrique, sweet corn and lobster risotto, or handmade ricotta gnocchi. The bistro side features sharable tapas, gourmet burgers, and creative cocktails in a laid-back atmosphere. Both spaces showcase the building’s stunning architecture (stained glass, vaulted ceilings) combined with warm, modern touches. Terrapin has been a mainstay on “Best Of” lists for years, beloved for its innovative yet comforting food, attentive service, and dedication to local farmers. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion in the dining room or enjoying a martini and tapas at the bar, Terrapin delivers a feast for the senses.
