The Belvedere Inn
The Belvedere Inn is one of Lancaster County’s most beloved and elegant dining destinations. The restaurant is housed in a historic building dating back to 1876, when it was built by John S. Rohrer, a tobacco dealer from Strasburg who used the house for entertaining purposes. The Belvedere Inn continues that tradition today. “When we opened The Belvedere in 1998, our vision was to provide a fun place that served great food and drinks in a warm, friendly, elegant and lively atmosphere,” owner Dean Oberholtzer recalls. In addition to delicious food, The Belvedere offers a knowledgeable staff, frequent live music in Crazy Shirley’s Lounge, outdoor dining on the second-floor garden terrace and stunning Victorian décor. During the holiday season, The Belvedere is a must-see.
