Looking for a new place to grab a bite in Montauk? Here are three new openings you’ll want to add to your summer dining rotation.
The Lighthouse Cafe:
1999 Montauk Point State Parkway, Montauk, NY
Open every day 10 AM- 8 PM
The team behind the beloved Montauk stable Crow’s Nest has officially opened The Lighthouse Cafe, only a short walk away from the historic Montauk Point Lighthouse. Replacing the site’s former seasonal snack stand, the refreshed waterfront space draws on the coastal food cultures of Spain and the French Basque region, with a menu focused on pintxos-style snacks, seafood, and casual seaside dining. Whether you’re fueling up before a day of exploring or stopping in for sunset, it’s a fresh addition to one of Montauk’s most iconic destinations that you’ll definitely want to check out.
Bar Lalo:
440 West Lake Drive, Montauk, NY
Open Tuesday through Friday 4 PM-11 PM and 12 PM- 11 PM on Saturday and Sunday
The team behind Alimentari Beach, a longtime Montauk favorite, has expanded with Bar Lalo, a laid-back new addition on West Lake Drive. Swapping Italian fare for Mexico City-inspired tacos, cocktails, and live music, the waterfront spot has quickly become a go-to gathering place for locals and summer visitors alike. Stop by for a drink and don’t be surprised if you end up staying all evening. Pro tip: Stop by on Tuesdays for discounted tacos and margaritas!
Barlume Beach:
435 East Lake Drive, Montauk, NY
The restaurant is open on Monday and Thursday from 5 PM – 9 PM; Friday from 5 PM – 10 PM; lunch and dinner Saturday and Sunday from 12 PM – 4 PM and 5 PM- 10 PM
The lounge is open Friday from 7 PM–2 AM and Saturday–Sunday from 2 PM–2 AM.
Bringing a touch of the Mediterranean to Montauk, Barlume Beach is the newest concept from LDV Hospitality. The waterfront destination blends a boutique hotel, beach club, restaurant, and lounge into one lively gathering place inspired by coastal hotspots like Saint-Tropez and St. Barts. With Mediterranean flavors, harbor views, live music, and sunset cocktails, it’s quickly becoming one of the season’s most talked-about new arrivals.
