What a wonderful addition to the upper Hudson valley dining scene! Casa Susanna serves creative Mexican food in a setting of rustic elegance, just outside of Catskill in Leeds. The name is an homage to a resort (not in this location) that catered to cross-dressers in the 1950’s and 60’s. In addition to the restaurant, there are motel rooms and cabins that have been renovated in the same rustic elegant style.
We have recently had a dinner and a brunch here, and the food was really impressive, as was the service and ambience. We tried a number of dishes, and all were excellent, with the best being the blood sausage tamal, tongue and mackerel.
Found it in one of your other posts, looks very nice. Thank you.!
We are heading this way mid-July for a long weekend and have dinner reservations for Friday evening.
The link you included is not working, did you move the blog? Would love to see your photos,
Thank you!
I was at Casa Susanna in October and I was pleasantly surprised as the options in the upper Hudson valley close to I-87 haven’t wowed me. Here’s a couple of photos from my brunch there:
Piccolo Trattoria and, Gracie’s Luncheonette are just up the road from Susana and are excellent. Julia’s Local in Round Top is not far away and also wonderful. I’ve written about all of these in my blog.
In Rhinebeck my favorites are Cinnamon and Gigi Trattoria.
