Northampton Dinner Recs for a Pescetarian

[kirol7777]

Hi. I'll be in Northampton in June, and would appreciate some dinner recommendations for a pescetarian. I used to really enjoy Green Street when I was there a few years ago, but it looks like it's closed. I also liked Haymarket Cafe & Northampton Coffee for some coffee/tea and quick nibble. Hated Fitzwillys. Any suggestions, given what I used to like there? Thanks!

Thanks everyone. Had a great trip with yummy food:

1. Paul & Elizabeth's -- yummy stir fry in a peaceful atmosphere.

2. Chez Albert (Amherst) -- very good french bistro food and charming spot.

If you're coming in early June, you'll be there for Northampton Restaurant Week. You can see the various menus here: http://www.northamptonrestaurantweek..... I've had mixed luck with Restaurant Weeks in the past, and places like Eastside Grill include an upcharge on the $21 prix fixe. Eastside has a good selection of seafood, by the way.
Another option might be Eclipse, on Main St. They've always got at least a couple of seafood offerings on the menu. My kids loved the steelhead, for example.

Thanks, edub23. Great to know about the restaurant week option, and thanks for the link. I'll check out the website for Eclipse.

Thanks jefpen2 & magiesmom! Great to be reminded of Paul & Elizabeth's and Woodstar, both of which I like. In searching for a place, I've also come across Bistro Les Gras and Chez Albert. Any thoughts on those? Thanks again! K

Many people like Bistro LG, I don't as I find it pretentious and overly impressed with itself.
Have not been to new CHez Albert location.

Good to know. In what ways do you find it pretentious?

In looking for some places to eat when I'm there, I don't particularly care if they're more casual or more fancy, I'd just like some good food. Hence Chowhounds! ;)

Thanks for your help.

The feel of the place, the descriptions of the food, the prices. But as I said, many people like it.
I love green Bean for good, fresh food, locally sourced, sense of humor about itself/

Chez Albert is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Excellent bistro style food and wine selection. I love their Basque seafood stew and the beef tartine.

How about Paul and Elizabeth's? http://www.paulandelizabeths.com/ Casual, but solid food.
Also, I happen to LOVE India House on State St. I've heard great things about the sushi at Osaka, but haven't been

I much prefer India Palace on Main st. Paul And ELizabeth's is good, try the shrimp/veggie tempura.
Woodstar is nice for coffee and has many vegetarian soups and sandwiches . Try Green Bean foe excellent breakfast and lunch, next door to Broadside Books. Also Amanouz , good falafel, loubia and baba ganouj as well as a good asparagus omelet if you are coming soon.
