Bolete
A seasonal American restaurant in a roughly 200-year-old stagecoach inn stone house on Bethlehem's south side. Its chef has been nominated for a James Beard Award twice.
Opened in 2007 by chef couple Lee Chizmar and Erin Shea, Bolete occupies a stone stagecoach inn on Seidersville Road, on the south side of Bethlehem, dating back about 200 years. The chef has been nominated for a James Beard Award twice. The menu changes daily based on local farm produce, and on weekdays there is a chef's tasting menu. The signature butterscotch pudding has been on the menu since opening day. It is one of the priciest restaurants in town, with dinner over $50 per person, and reservations are required on Resy or OpenTable. It is about 3 miles from the old town, so you'll need a car. The restaurant has free parking on site.
Opening hours
Wednesday to Saturday dinner about 5:00–9:30 PM, Sunday brunch, closed Monday and Tuesday (check the official website)
