When I found myself hungry in Buffalo, I quickly realized this city is a food lover’s dream. From legendary wings to creative fine dining, every meal I had came with bold flavors and that signature Buffalo hospitality. If you’re ready to eat your way through town, I’ve got a few favorites you’ll want to try.
Highlights:
- Bite into the original Buffalo wings at Anchor Bar. I did, and it’s as iconic (and delicious) as you’ve heard.
- Enjoy elevated seasonal dishes at Tempo Restaurant. I treated myself to dinner here and was blown away by the flavors—you should definitely dress up and make it a night.
- Try gourmet comfort food at Billy Club on Allen Street. I loved the atmosphere and every bite—it’s where I go when I want something familiar but fancy.
- Savor wood-fired pizza and hearty pasta at Mulberry Italian Ristorante. I still think about the meatballs. You’ll leave full and happy.
- Grab a cozy brunch at Five Points Bakery & Toast Café. I sat with a warm latte and thick slices of toast, and it felt like the perfect Buffalo morning. You’ll want to linger, too.
