Can’t stomach dairy? It’s exciting to find a dish that doesn’t sacrifice flavor while being dairy-free. Individuals sensitive to butter, cheese, and milk should check out these dishes during Hudson Valley Restaurant Week. As always, be sure to mention any allergies or dietary restrictions when dining at these locations.

The Bird & Bottle Inn

Garrison 

It’s impossible to go wrong at The Bird & Bottle Inn. This Garrison eatery is conscious about allergens on the menu, with a lot of options to opt out of milk-based ingredients in dishes. The spring pea croissant delights as a first course on the restaurant week menu and can be made vegan. The spring salad, minus the feta cheese, is another light bite that hits the spot. For an entrée, the butterfly pea flower risotto is a showstopper, with fava beans, asparagus, leek puree, and herbs. The main can be made vegan as well to avoid dairy. For a sweet ending to a fine meal, the lemon poppy shortcake is not to be missed, with vegan whipped cream and macerated strawberries. Or keep it simple and indulge in a seasonal sorbet.  

Lunch: $44.95, Saturday 12-3 p.m.
Dinner: $44.95; Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday

Goosefeather

Tarrytown

Cantonese fare is different from the Chinese food that most Americans are familiar with, as it utilizes fresh and seasonal items. It’s prominent on the menu at Goosefeather, which features dairy-free options from start to finish. The smashed crispy fingerling potatoes or shaved snow pea salad are both vegan and offer layers of delicious sweet and savory flavors. For a unique entree, wild mushroom rice noodles with tamarind black beans and hazelnuts are a scrumptious bite. For dessert, enjoy the seasonal shaved ice and mochi.
