Food in New Hampshire continues to get better and better. In fact, folks around the country are recognizing our new restaurants (and even some we’ve loved for decades!) in magazines, travel guides and newspapers. But that doesn’t mean we don’t still have some hidden gems. There are some Granite Staters who might not even know this unique dining experience even exists.
As unique dining experiences go, you can’t get much more fun than the Airfield Cafe in North Hampton!
Hampton Airfield Cafe
You’ll find the face right next to the runway of the teensy-tiny Hampton Airfield. You won’t find any JetBlue planes taking flight here, but there are a fair few private planes coming and going.

The small cafe has been around since 1996, and it’s owned by a lovely local family who takes pride in making this place a unique experience for everyone.

What started as a small space with plastic forks and knives is now a bustling restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch every day of the week.

During the warmer months of the year, dining on the deck provides a perfect view of the action on the runway.

And because the planes are smaller, you won’t be overwhelmed by the noise. This is a lovely dining experience for everyone, especially those with love of aviation.
