Everytime I have company in from out of town I’m asked “Where can we go out to eat in Skaneateles?” Our family falls in to a routine of going to a few of the same places all the time: Doug’s Fish Fry, Joe’s Pasta Garage, Bluewater Grill, Johnny Angels or sometimes Chang Jiang. Now right away that list probably tells you a little too much.

There are sooo many other great places to dine in town from a slice of pizza at Valentines or Mark’s Pizzeria, to a 5 course meal at The Krebs or Rosalie’s Cucina. There is also the Tavern or Dining Room at Sherwood Inn, Joelle’s French Bistro, or Giverny - Mirbeau’s Award winning restaurant. I’m sure I have forgotten about some of the great restaurants in Skaneateles …

Whatever your tastes may be there is a LOT cooking in Skaneateles. It’s up to you to decide what you will be sampling next. Bon apetit!!!

Today I came across some great pictures on webshots by the user “winsome45″. The pictures were taken while they were visiting Skaneateles. They have some great pictures of the lake, boats, the shoreline and also some good ones of the garden at Mirbeau. If you like this picture check out their other ones here.
