Unfortunately, Massachusetts Restaurants are no longer allowed to cook fish that has not been procured from a licensed fish dealer. There are, however, great local spots to visit for inexpensive food and drink.

What Customers Say About The Little Village Café
Love their omelets and Benedict's. Great service and affordable prices.
This is hands down the best breakfast place in Fairhaven (IMO). The portions are large, the service is great and the coffee is always good. It's a clean and cozy spot for breakfast that you'll want to make your new "go-to" in Fairhaven. Don't miss this place!
The Little Village Cafe is by far the best breakfast joint in town. The food is tasty, plenty full and the Eggs Benedict is the best anywhere in the area. The Cafe is roomy well-lit and cheerful. The staff are friendly and courteous. This place has quickly become the favorite of the townies and a happy stop for Summer visitors. I have to say that the coffee is the best.

What Customers Say About Bayside Lounge
Great good, great service! The trivia on Thursday nights is a great crowd and the karaoke brings in some great talent. Stop by for a low-key, great time!
Got take-out, 1st time having food from there. Very impressed. Very yummy. Called to place an order, pulled up, they brought it out, paid & that was it ... drove home & pigged out. We'll get food from there again.
First time visit. The food was great, and a large portion for the price. Nice string drinks. The bartender Alicia was very friendly, patient, and attentive. Recommend for a casual night out!

What Customers Say About Seaport Inn
Great time had by all. Our 50th Anniversary party was a great hit due to the caring and hospitable staff. The banquet room was large enough to accommodate all guests, and looking at the other rooms the Seaport Inn is an ideal choice for any event!
The Seaport Inn has the MOST hospitable staff of anywhere I’ve ever been. They are caring and courteous; always willing to lend a hand. Since the opening of their kitchen, we have had the pleasure of eating during functions in their large function room. (Which I might add is one of the most beautiful rooms I’ve ever seen).
I enjoyed my brief stay in this nice hotel which is in a scenic location next to the harbor. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very pleasant and the breakfast (included) was more than adequate. The town of Fairhaven is very interesting if you have time to drive through the town center and also visit Fort Phoenix.

Located in historic Fairhaven, Massachusetts, the Bed and Breakfast is situated on a quiet, residential street in the heart of the village center, close to the town hall, library, beach, parks, bicycle path, museums, maritime academy, shops, restaurants, and working waterfront.
The 10-room, 3,800 square foot Bed and Breakfast, complete with conservatory and greenhouse, framed by stone walls and wrought iron gates, was once the residence of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s mother, grandfather, and great-grandfather. It was FDR’s summer and holiday residence into his adult years and was visited by him and Eleanor, even as the president and first lady.
What Customers Say About Delano House
This Homestead is a rare find these days. A beautiful Historic home on a quiet side street, with only 3 rooms that are Guest quarters, it feels very cozy and warm. You enjoy breakfast in the formal dining room after choosing from, a variety of hot and cold items which are presented on their kitchen island. Coffee, Tea, Fresh fruit, and snacks are available anytime.
The house is spotlessly maintained. Lisa the Innkeeper, full of energy and enjoyable to talk to, gave us a warm welcome and showed us the amenities then brought us to our beautiful, sun-filled, and spacious room, The Warren. Our private bathroom, tub, and shower, were just the next door over. The Bed was amazingly comfortable and the linens luxurious. The other 2 rooms have a bath in the suite.
Paul the owner lives in the Home. He is very willing to converse about his house or the local area. He is a gracious Host.
We spent 2 nights while visiting our daughter in Fairhaven. This historic house is well-maintained and clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the room was quiet. Good night sleep in a beautiful setting-- will be back!
Lovely place. Quiet place. The bed was wonderful, slept like a log. An excellent alternative to overly expensive inns and chain hotels in the New Bedford Area. I spent a peaceful hour outside just enjoying the grounds.
The food was excellent, the service was excellent, and everything was outstanding. I'm from the south, so that says a lot. I can't recommend it enough!
