Must-Visit Restaurants In Providence?

Submitted by darkanon_ t3_11pv6o2 in providence

Hiya folks! Me and my little brother are going to Providence tomorrow for the first time.

We'll only be there for two days, but we were hoping you all could help us find the best, most fun. and unique restaurants!

We rarely get to spend time together, so having a memorable experience would be awesome!

Thank you all so much. I hope you have a great week!

Oh whoops, you're right! I guess I assumed they meant the café bc they mentioned bibimbap which made me think of the café over the fried chicken spot. But you can't go wrong either way 🙂

Ogie's Trailer Park is where you go if you want an unusual atmosphere. The garlic tots are the best! And it is dog-friendly.

Na na na we gotta make this post every day, my guy. Every single day we need an updated list of must-try restaurants in PVD. If you wanna be a hero, you gotta drop a comment with restaurants that AREN'T in Providence, like Fall River, Warwick, Wakefield, etc. Dems da rules, kid

Monday will be tough, as others have said. Unfortunately, since the pandemic, a lot of places are closed on Tuesdays, too. Jahunger is open on Tuesday, it’s fantastic, especially if you like spicy food, Uyghur food with excellent service.

Madeira in East Providence (Portuguese) really classy atmosphere and I highly recommend their chicken Mozambique, it’s the best I’ve ever had

You can start at one end of Atwells Ave and eat every lunch and dinner at a different restaurant and not be done for a month. You literally have so many options in Providence you won’t be disappointed. I personally like Casserinos for a good Italian meal, Ogies for casual dining, and Olneyville NY system for late night drunk hot weenies. Haven Bros is a fun experience too, the Old Canteen or Venda is great as well. So many good places you’ll have a blast

Great argument, since everybody does it, let’s ignore the one where things got so bad that the labor secretary sued them on behalf of 128 employees, and they had to settle for $775k.

Let’s just ignore that, and recommend that shithole to people from outside the state as a shining example of “great restaurants you should visit while in Providence”. Because everybody does it, right?

Mokban, Den Den Asiana, Chengdu Taste, Los Andes, and Friskie Fries (if you are going out for a drink or something downtown!)

Apsara is some good cheap Asian food. They have a very wide variety of choices. 2 locations. Both have been fine to me but I know some people say the public st. Location is where it’s at vs the hope st location. It says it’s Cambodian on google but it’s more pan-south East Asian I would say

As good as the food is, I’m more impressed by how much money they’re spending heating their patio. It was in the 40’s the other night and I was totally comfortable sitting on the side patio.

Pickerel and Thick Neck are open Mondays. Pickerel is ramen, small spot, small menu but bomb drinks, dessert and ramen. Thick Neck is a pop up experimental spot inside the Dean Hotel. It’s downtown so super walkable. Small-ish plates, fresh, good apps, desserts and drinks.

I don't really eat out

The whole industry is unethical, as wage theft is the largest amount of theft in this country

You can't go anywhere where the Honduran cooks are making below minimum wage and the waitresses are getting fucked out of overtime
