The Best Restaurants in Western NY
While Buffalo’s culinary reputation rests largely on the spread of our wings around the world and the now common use of “Buffalo-style” to indicate a spicy experience ahead, the city is in fact a melting pot of diverse dishes, cuisines, and dining experiences. Old school restaurateurs who have been perfecting their menus for decades are being joined by a new generation of chefs (many of them former Buffalonians returning to their resurgent hometown) who are opening innovative restaurants that are re-defining dining in the city.
A variety of flavors
Alongside these re-pats are immigrants and refugees who are bringing a taste of places like Myanmar, Ethiopia, Cambodia and Iraq to the streets of Buffalo. If that’s not enough variety, the city has dozens of food trucks rolling around that serve everything from poutine to pierogi. Sure, come for the wings, but stay to sample one of the most dynamic food cities in the United States.

Undergrounds Coffee House and Roastery
There’s something heavenly about chipotle apricot jam. This is the signature spread on Undergrounds’ Colonel Francisco sandwich. The pairing of the jam with the pepperjack cheese is a unique play on sweet and spicy. The kick may be mild, but the sandwich is full of flavor. 580 South Park Avenue, Buffalo. undergroundscoffeebuffalo.com
