Autumn Eats: Your Guide to Fall Dining in Providence

Who doesn't love autumn? A chill in the air, some fabulous foliage, apples and pumpkins everywhere, and the start of spooky season. One of the best things about fall is that local restaurants shift to fall menus full of autumn flavors. If you're looking for some seasonal comfort food in Providence, we've got you covered from breakfast to dessert.

Breakfast Bites

Start your day with the Cinnamon Pumpkin French Toast at The Patio on Broadway. With cinnamon bread topped with pumpkin custard, pumpkin pie mascarpone and maple syrup, it's more dessert than breakfast.

Lunch Spots

For an autumn lunch, try Providence Coal Fired Pizza's Harvest Pizza, featuring Granny Smith apples, roasted sweet potatoes and apple chicken sausage. Or head to The District for a Harvest Salad, jam-packed with your favorite fall flavors like apples, craisins, walnuts and more.

Afternoon Pick-Me-Up

When that 2 p.m. craving for something sweet hits, treat yourself to an Apple Pie Chai from The Landing. Be sure to explore their collection of Rhode Island gifts while you're there.

Dinner & Dessert

The seasonal menu at Gregg's is filled with yummy goodness like the Turkey Bacon Cranberry Quesadilla and the Apple Walnut Wrap. You can also enjoy their tasty Warm Apple Crisp year-round. Casa Azul Taqueria has a fairly extensive fall menu as well, but we're saving room for the Pumpkin Flan Cake.

Or splurge on a night out at Mill's Tavern and sample the Harvest Baked Clams and a Deconstructed Sweet Potato Pie for dessert. While it's filled with decadent ingredients like sweet potato mousse and candied pecans, the marshmallow meringue sealed the deal for me.
