Restaurants in Saratoga, New York

With seven different golf courses and clubs, thoroughbred horse racing, historical walking tours, an active cycling club and the nearby Adirondack Mountains, the Saratoga area has outdoor recreation for everyone. The area is also home to the Adirondack Sports and Fitness Winter Expo, as well as numerous spas, where you can soak those trail-worn feet. Saratoga, itself, is a small town that borders the Hudson River along the eastern state line of New York. Located in Saratoga County, the town of Saratoga (also known as "Old Saratoga") is bordered by, and often considered one with, its much larger resort town neighbor to the west, Saratoga Springs. And, while there are really only a few dining options for the hungry hiker within the legal limits of Saratoga, there are almost unlimited options across the border in Saratoga Springs.
