WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute’s Stone Hill Terrace Café has been honored with Yankee magazine’s Editor’s Choice Award for "Best Museum Lunch Spot." The oudoor café is open seasonally for lunch, weather permitting. Patio-style seating is available on the terrace overlooking the Taconic Range and the Green Mountains.

This summer, the Clark’s chef Steve Wilkinson has designed a menu with a French twist inspired by the Clark’s "Pissarro’s People" exhibition. Special sandwiches include the Croque-Monsieur Panini (Gruyère cheese and ham) and the Mona Lisa’s Smile (fresh mozzarella, tomato, prosciutto, grilled red peppers, baby arugula, and fresh basil aioli on ciabatta). The menu also features a selection of soups, salads and desserts, including freshly baked scones and cookies. The café is open daily from June 24 to Sept. 6, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and light snacks and beverages are served until 3:30 pm. In the fall, the café is open on weekends only from Sept. 11 to Oct.  10, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

In addition to the Stone Hill Terrace Café, the Clark has a variety of dining options, offering everything from a gourmet restaurant, a picnic on the grass, or a quick snack. For more information on dining options, click here.

Visitors to the Clark are also always welcome to bring or purchase a picnic to enjoy on the museum's campus. The museum offers picnic-to-go baskets; menu cards are available at the Information Desk or at the Courtyard Coffee Cart; visitors may simply make their lunch selections and submit their orders, and a custom picnic lunch will be ready at the specified time. Picnic tables are situated throughout the grounds and a large, tented picnic pavilion adjacent to the west entrance is available from June through October.

The Clark is located at 225 South St. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (daily in July and August). Admission is $15 June 1 through Oct. 31. Admission is free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit clarkart.edu.
