Selected entries from the current guide for Montauk.
Montauk, United States
Fishbar sits on East Lake Drive in Montauk, where the East End's seafood tradition is as much about proximity to the water as what ends up on the plate. The address places it within the working fishing community that has defined Montauk's character long before the Hamptons crowd arrived. For direct, location-rooted seafood in a town that increasingly trades on its catch, Fishbar earns its place in the conversation.
Montauk, United States
Harvest on Fort Pond sits at the quieter, locals-facing end of Montauk's dining spectrum, framing its menu around the proximity of the Atlantic and the East End's agricultural interior. The address on South Emery Street places it steps from Fort Pond itself, and the kitchen's sourcing logic follows the same geographic logic: close, seasonal, and grounded in what the East End actually produces.
Montauk, United States
M&R DELI is a practical Montauk pick for a quick counter-service bite, especially breakfast or lunch. Go for deli sandwiches and casual American comfort food when convenience matters more than atmosphere, service polish, or a special-occasion meal.
Montauk, United States
Navy Beach serves casual coastal seafood at 16 Navy Rd in Montauk, with waterfront terrace seating, craft cocktails, and a conversational pace for lunch or dinner.
Montauk, United States
The Crow’s Nest is worth choosing for a seasonal Montauk dinner where the waterfront setting is part of the value. Go for the à la carte Mediterranean-New American format, day boat scallops or chicken kebabs, and a relaxed lawn-and-garden atmosphere; skip it if you want a tasting menu, a quiet room, or a highly structured fine-dining night.
Montauk, United States
On the quieter eastern shore of Lake Montauk, The Inlet Seafood Restaurant occupies a position that Montauk's more publicized waterfront spots rarely match: direct water access with a working-dock sensibility rather than a resort veneer. The address at 541 E Lake Dr places it within the local fishing community's orbit, and the kitchen's focus on the catch that comes off those boats gives the meal a seasonal logic that the Hamptons circuit tends to paper over with consistency.
Montauk, United States
The Montauket is a strong pick for a casual Montauk sunset meal: seafood-bar staples, drinks, live music, and Fort Pond Bay views without a formal Hamptons dining feel. At about $40 per person, it works better for groups, low-pressure dates, and late-afternoon drinks than for a quiet chef-led dinner.

Montauk, United States
Gurney's Montauk sits on a bluff above the Atlantic at 290 Old Montauk Highway, carrying decades of East End history and a current MICHELIN Selected distinction for 2025. The property occupies a tier of Montauk accommodation defined by ocean-facing scale and institutional longevity, setting it apart from the newer boutique entrants along the same stretch of highway.
Montauk, United States
A Michelin Selected property on Montauk Highway, Hero Beach Club sits at the point where the East End's beach-motel tradition meets a more considered hospitality format. The Atlantic is the organizing principle here: proximity to the water shapes the room design, the social energy, and the seasonal rhythm of the property. For Montauk, that focus is the point.
Montauk, United States
Marram is a Michelin Selected hotel on the eastern tip of Long Island, positioned within Montauk's quieter, design-conscious accommodation tier. Sitting at 21 Oceanview Terrace, it draws guests who want proximity to the Atlantic without the scale of the area's larger resort properties. Michelin's 2025 selection places it alongside a small peer group of carefully edited stays in The Hamptons corridor.
Montauk, United States
Sitting on Star Island Road with direct access to Lake Montauk, Montauk Yacht Club occupies one of the East End's most water-facing addresses and carries a 2025 MICHELIN Selected distinction. The property positions itself in the premium marina-adjacent tier of Montauk accommodation, separating it from the surf-and-sand hotels that define most of the town's lodging character.
Montauk, United States
The Montauk Beach House is a Michelin Selected hotel in Montauk, New York, positioned within the casual-luxe tier that defines the East End's most considered independent stays. Located at 55 South Elmwood Avenue, it sits closer to the surf-and-culture character of Montauk than the estate formality further west in Southampton, making it a reference point for how the town's hospitality has matured.
Montauk, United States
The Surf Lodge sits at the edge of Fort Pond in Montauk, occupying a position that has made it one of the East End's most recognized summer destinations. Equal parts waterfront hotel, restaurant, and live-music venue, it draws a crowd that arrives by sea taxi as readily as by car. The property operates at the intersection of Montauk's fishing-town heritage and its newer identity as a destination for New York's design-conscious summer crowd.
Montauk, United States
Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa occupies a clifftop position along Old Montauk Highway where the Atlantic rolls in unobstructed from three sides. The property sits at the older, more established end of Montauk's resort spectrum, pairing direct oceanfront access with a seawater spa program that remains rare on the East Coast. For a longer editorial read on the surrounding area, see our full Montauk restaurants and hotels guide.
Montauk, United States
Hotel Corduroy sits on West Lake Drive in Montauk, occupying a quieter stretch of the South Fork that keeps its distance from the Hamptons social circuit. The property aligns with a pattern of design-led, low-key Montauk lodging that trades scale for atmosphere. For visitors approaching the East End from an editorial lens, it belongs in the same conversation as the area's more considered independent options.
