1. Barcocina

- With waterfront views and Mexican inspired food, Barcocina is one of the best places in Fells Point for brunch or dinner. In the morning, try their huevos rancheros or the ricotta waffles with blackberries and lemon. For dinner, start with their Oaxaca style guacamole. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
- Ice cream bonus: go to Pitango for gelato while you're in Fells Point and eat it on the benches by the water. Raspberry sorbet and stracciatella gelato is the best combination.
2. Miss Shirley's

Coconut cream stuffed French toast that was featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. Monkey bread. A menu with so many delicious items that I normally end up reading it three times before I can decide what to get. Their two Baltimore locations are in Roland Park and the Inner Harbor, but the one in the Inner Harbor is right near the water. They also have rotating flavors of the month for their pancakes and waffles, so every time you go there is something different to try!
3. Clark Burger

If you're looking for a great burger, this is the place to get it. Canadian-inspired Clark Burger has a simple menu of burgers, fries, and poutine, and all of it is served up fresh on metal trays in paper dishes. They have two locations, one in Fells Point and another in Belvedere Square. Two recommendations: the Clark Burger and the Gringo.
4. Cafe Hon

A classic Baltimore restaurant in Hamden. You can't miss the giant pink flamingo right above the door! I normally go for brunch and get the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with fresh fruit and potatoes. There are tons of shops in the area to explore, so stick around after the meal and check them out.
Ice cream bonus: hit up the Charmery and try out their Maryland Mud flavor in a homemade waffle cone.
5. R. House

I've never been to R. House, but I've heard so many good things about the meals and space! With ten chefs all serving up different options and styles of food in one area, R. House is definitely on my list of restaurants I want to try. From pizza to coffee, to sushi, R. House has a huge variety of food all under one roof.
Baltimore is the best place to be if you're looking for some good eats. Every neighborhood has its own set of restaurants to enjoy. Come to Baltimore for the food, but stay to explore all of the shops and experiences here. Fells Point and the Inner Harbor are both right on the water, and Hamden has some great vintage boutiques. Try out these restaurants and then see what else is nearby!
