The summer is here and we just can't get enough of that New Hampshire sunshine and breezy air. But, we've been around for enough summers to know that pretty soon we'll be packing up our beach umbrellas and trading our shorts for sweaters. That's also when we cook more meals at home and enjoy the comforts of being inside. The good news is that we're not quite there yet! We still have a few solid weeks of great weather and we intend on soaking up every little bit. That includes eating outside as much as possible. If you're doing the same, check out these great outdoor restaurants in New Hampshire.

1. Wolfetrap Grill & Rawbar, Wolfeboro

Open every day for lunch and dinner, we love that this place is a casual spot that actually has great food. And you'll find it off-the-beaten-path which somehow makes it even more desirable. Not into driving? Take your boat and dock it! Address: 19 Bay Street, Wolfeboro, NH 03894-4320.

2. Tino's Kitchen + Bar, Hampton

While not entirely outside, we love this place for the breezy vibes you want without the sunshine in your face. Enjoy Mediterranean food that feels so much more evolved that the typical beach food you'll find elsewhere. Address: 325 Lafayette Road, Hampton, NH 03842-2202.

3. Horse & Hound Inn, Franconia

It's best to make reservations at this lovely dinner spot at one of the nicest inns in the White Mountains. They're open Wednesday through Sunday for dinner. This is another one that you might consider making a weekend trip of! Address: 205 Wells Road, Franconia, NH 03580.

4. Latitude 44° Restaurant, Bretton Woods

This casual spot feels like a real treat in the summer. While it's typically a spot for skiers, the lift will take you to the top in the summer for a casual meal with incredible views. The sandwiches are great and filling too! Address: Route 302, Bretton Woods, NH 03575.

5. The Big Catch, Bristol

The view of Newfound Lake from this casual deck cannot be beat! They're open for lunch and dinner, with a menu that includes plenty of seafood. They even have an ice cream window. Address: 150 Shore Drive, Bristol, NH 03222-3651.

6. Revolution TapRoom & Grill, Rochester

If you love beers and casual meals with friends, this it the outdoor dining destination for you. It's great for casual afternoons, but the food is way more delicious than just a neighborhood bar. We were pretty enamored of the pappardelle with tomato lemon cream. Address: 61 N Main Street, Rochester, NH 03867-1906.

7. Black Water Grill Restaurant, Salem

When it rains feels free to sit inside, but when the sun is shining you can find us on the deck. Grab a beer, order a burger and remember all the reasons why you love being in New Hampshire. Address: 43 Pelham Road, Salem, NH 03079-2827.

8. Martingale Wharf Restaurant, Portsmouth

The casual waterfront dining here has been a Portsmouth institution for what feels like forever. The views are uncomparable and the seafood is scrumptious. Enjoy a meal, just cocktails or head here in the off-season for a great brunch! Address: 99 Bow Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801-8401.

9. Adair Country Inn & Restaurant, Bethlehem

This lovely inn opens its doors to non-guests from Thursday through Monday. You can expect a fine-dining experience, which makes an overnight stay feel even more special. Address: 80 Guider Lane, Bethlehem, NH 03574.

10. 110 Grill, Nashua

It's easy to sit inside of this upscale-feeling spot, but we prefer the patio when the weather cooperates. You'll find high-top tables and couches with cozy fire pits for nighttime. Enjoy the seafood under the stars! Address: 27 Trafalgar Square, Nashua, NH 03063.
