New restaurants open across New Hampshire

Eight new dining establishments opened across New Hampshire during September and October 2026, spanning locations from Hudson to Portsmouth. The new openings include major chains such as Chipotle in Durham and chef-driven venues like Ember & Elm in Marlborough.

Notable growth was seen by The Grind, which expanded to a third location in Manchester. The business, previously located in Derry, was reopened in 2024 by Vanessa DeCesare after its original location closed in 2023. The brand has since added locations in both Durham and Manchester.
