Next time you're in the Campton area for a visit a great place to
visit for a lunch or dinner is the Sunset Grille. It's only about a fifteen
minute drive from the ski area and center of town. I think many people might
miss out on eating there because it is off the beaten path slightly. It probably
qualifies as a spot that is more popular with local families than with the
average tourist. Hopefully the next time you're in the area you can make a stop
in and try them out.
The décor inside is unlike any restaurant I've ever been to. The
dividers between the booths is all filled with money from foreign countries. It
makes you wonder about the story behind it. Who traveled there and what did they
see? It's also just interesting visually. The second unlikely thing they have
used as a decorative item is a lot of old cameras. They fill shelves and are
placed high on beams inside, as well as, decorating one entire bay window. I
would also love to know where all of those cameras have been and what they took
photos of in their years of use.
My favorite part of our last visit to this restaurant was dessert.
This is often my favorite part of any trip out for a meal if they have something
on the menu interesting enough to make it worth the calories. The dessert we
tried was called a snowball. They take a serving of ice cream and roll it in
coconut and slivers of almond. After that they put hot fudge and whipped cream
over the entire thing. It creates a great texture on the ice cream as well as
being hot and cold at the same time.
I highly recommend that you visit the Sunset Grille:
