On the hunt for the perfect present for Father’s Day? Treat dad to one of these utterly scrumptious gifts in Westchester County.

As the old adage goes, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Give that special gentleman you’re shopping for this Father’s Day the foodie gift he’ll be savoring for months to come — and bragging about to everyone.

For the Foodie Father

A Ribeye from Ulises’s Butcher Shop
435 Mamaroneck Ave, Mamaroneck; 914.758.8600

If your dad is a serious food aficionado, then a fresh, beautifully marbled, hand-cut steak from the father-daughter duo at Ulises’s Butcher Shop will send him to the moon. With a wide selection of meats and cuts (and even some exotic choices like wild boar and yak), there’s something to be savored and celebrated for all palate types. The team also makes a range of homemade sauces and marinades. (Our favorite is the mango habanero. You’re welcome.)

For the Spirited Dad

Mahia from Nahmias et Fils Distillery
201 Saw Mill River Rd, Building C, Yonkers; 646.644.4256

If Dad is a liquor authority or just enjoys a well-made cocktail, this traditional Moroccan spirit is his latest and greatest indulgence. Distilled from a family recipe that dates back to 1900, the liquor is made from figs, with a touch of aniseed. For a swig of the classics, the distillery also produces its own bourbon and rye, named Legs Diamond after the famous gangster.

For the Cheez Wiz

Cheese of the Month Club from Second Mouse Cheese Shop
357 Manville Rd, Pleasantville; 914.579.2909

If you’re shopping for a curd nerd, look no further than this dairy delight from Second Mouse. Each month, the shop sources small-batch cheese created by artisanal makers. Expect three cheeses, a curated sweet or savory condiment, and crackers or biscuits, along with descriptions of what lactic wonders your Pops (or anyone!) is about to enjoy.

For the Sweet Tooth

Assorted Treats from La Tulipe Desserts
455 Lexington Ave, Mount Kisco; 914.242.4555

Pâtissier Maarten Steenman does not mess around when it comes to expertly crafted confections. From luscious chocolate truffles to almost-too-pretty-to-eat (like we said, almost) desserts, any sugar seeker would be happy to receive a box from La Tulipe.

For the Old-School Dude

Walter’s Hot Dogs & Mustard
937 Palmer Avenue, Mamaroneck; 914,500.5029

Does it get any more classic than a Walter’s hot dog with mustard? Whether he’s a Westchester native or a converted transplant, a pack of these delish dogs for him to enjoy at his leisure (and sans line) is the gift that keeps on giving. Don’t forget to grab a bottle of the signature mustard to complete the experience.

For the Gourmet Guy

Exotic Wares from Mint Premium Foods
19 Main St, Tarrytown; 914.703.6511

Find cheeses, spreads, and dry goods from across the world within the walls of Mint Premium Foods, which houses a foods-of-all-nations-type market up front and a sit-down restaurant in back. Take dad on an international gastro-journey without having to leave the county — bonus points if he can enjoy it by the illustrious Riviera Hudson (okay, fine, the Hudson River, but it’s still lovely this time of year).

For the Beer Noggin

Build Your Own Six-Pack at Half Time Beverage
139 Hoyt Ave, Mamaroneck; 914.341.1666

For a hoppin’ good foodie gift for Father’s Day, Half Time lets you piece together your own personalized six pack from its wide variety of both international and domestic beers (including those from Decadent Ales, brewed right next door).

For the Coffee Addict

Specialty Beans from Sunshine Coffee Roasters
1932 Palmer Ave, Larchmont; 914.341.1899

If dad is the type of guy who appreciates a good jolt of caffeine, a few bags of specialty roasts from Sunshine Coffee Roasters will do the trick. Treat him to flavors like Blues Blend and Tropics Blend to make any normal morning a special one.

For the Faraway Pops

Gift Chop Box from Chop Box

If Father’s Day is tough because your favorite guy is far away, the foodie gift of a box of specially curated meats and seasonings from Chop Box will warm his heart (and his grill). All items are hand cut and ready to order, then vacuum sealed and sent via two-day shipping with dry ice.
