Gigi Hudson Valley

For more than two decades, Gigi Hudson Valley has been at the heart of Rhinebeck’s dining scene, known for its Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, warm hospitality, and convivial spirit. Housed in a meticulously renovated 1920s Chevrolet garage, Gigi blends historic character with modern culinary excellence, making it a beloved destination for locals and visitors from around the world.

​Guided by founder and owner Laura Pensiero — renowned chef, registered dietitian, and author of "Hudson Valley Mediterranean: The Gigi Good Food Cookbook" — the restaurant celebrates the best of seasonal Hudson Valley ingredients through the lens of the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle. The result is food that is vibrant, healthful, and deeply satisfying.

Its expansive patio, complete with tenting and heaters, offers a welcoming space for families, friends, and even their four-legged companions, as Gigi proudly embraces its dog-friendly spirit. For more intimate gatherings, the newly renovated private dining room accommodates up to 30 guests, providing the same thoughtful service and Mediterranean flavors in a warm, personalized setting.

With its dedicated team and enduring passion, Gigi Hudson Valley continues to be a destination where Mediterranean flavors, local bounty, and genuine hospitality come together in perfect harmony.
