Restaurants

Montauk restaurants and shops offer fresh, local seafood throughout the year. Montauk is the biggest commercial port in New York State, and most of our restaurants our restaurants and shops are able to buy locally. So there is not better place to enjoy seafood than Montauk. But if seafood is not your dish, most restaurants offer other menu items. In the summer and fall growing months, many of our restaurants stock up on local produce and fruits.
