A
White Horse Tavern
If you’d like to eat at a tavern opened by a 17th-century pirate that once served as an annual meeting place for the colonial Rhode Island General Assembly, try this historic, gambrel-roofed beauty. It opened in 1687, and is one of America’s oldest taverns. Menus for dinner (at which men should wear a jacket) might include baked escargot, truffle-crusted Atlantic halibut or beef Wellington.

Black Pearl
For a bowl of superb clam chowder seasoned with lots of dill, enter the good-looking black-beamed tavern of this old reliable, covered in old maps and nautical charts. They’ve also got hearty corned beef sandwiches, fish and pot pie. Attached to the tavern is the more formal Commodore’s Room, where you can eat oysters, steaks and racks of lamb. A Hot Dog Annex supplies cheap snacks.

C
La Forge Casino Restaurant
This joint stands out for one reason only: seats in the back are not only inside the famed Newport Casino, some of them practically sit on an enclosed grass court. If you eat here (Irish-themed decor), avoid the front room. Passable food ranges from burgers and calamari to more expensive entrees. Some forego solids and stick to booze – the bar’s open till midnight.

Cafe Zelda
This bistro’s wainscoting, lit by dim, frosted lamps, rises above the unfortunately carpeted floor. Enjoy a seasonal menu, which might offer hanger steak, pork chops with littlenecks, lamb or wild mushroom risotto. A cozy and popular bar is in a separate space next door.
