Visiting Madison - Our Town Guide

Say YES?  Let’s keep the celebration going!

 

We love our small, quaint town of Madison.  Here are a few things we would suggest to check out before or after your bridal appointment.  We hope you love the gorgeous Connecticut shoreline as much as we do!

The Wharf at the Madison Beach Hotel is a common celebration spot for #realeverthinebrides!  Enjoy their waterfront views and a local inspired menu.

 

R.J. Cafe & Bistro is tucked in the back of the town bookseller.  Enjoy a coffee and a fresh bakery treat  or a full salad or sandwich.

 

For a true shoreline experience pop on over to the casual Lenny & Joe’s Fishtale for all the delicious seafood options.  Perfect for the summer, enjoy a quintessential lobster roll or bowl of chowder at one of their outdoor picnic tables. 

 

Coming for a morning or early afternoon appointment and brunch is your meal?  Most residents would direct you to Cristy’s Madison - their pancakes are a local treasure!

 

Tasty tacos your thing?  Right across the street from Everthine celebrate saying yes with a margarita at Commomango

 

Have a sweet tooth?  What is better than a celebratory ice cream sunday!  Try Ashley’s Ice Cream right on main street!  They use only natural and fresh ingredients and whipped cream is made fresh daily!

 

For a special dinner option (opens at 4pm) try Bar Bouchee.  Try fantastic homestyle French comfort food in this intimate neighborhood bistro.

Check out Chamard Winery in our neighboring town of Clinton.  Enjoy their gorgeous grounds with a glass of local wine in hand or try their delicious French inspired menu for an elevated lunch or dinner.


What is the shoreline without a trip to the beach!  Hammonassett State Beach is a quick drive (or borrow our beach cruisers!) from the shop.  Free admission for CT registered vehicles, there is not only a beautiful beach to comb, but tons of amazing trails, a nature center, picnic areas and even camping!
