Restaurants near Bristol

“Decor, service, cocktails, food- all outstanding! I was dining alone and sat at the bar- bartender was that magical combo of friendly and helpful but not hovering. The ricotta gnocchi was the best meal I’ve had in quite some time. And the vibe was so cool - antique/Scandi/bohemian? I’m going tomorrow night and making sure I save room for dessert.”

“Food is awesome, Great Tavern food, awesome service, 5 star puls ++”

“I’ve never left hungry. I recommend the entire menu. For me it’s a crispy chicken sandwich basket dressed like a Bee Burger with tater tots, fried green beans and horseradish mayo.”

“Amazing service, great beer, food was simple but well priced. BLT was among top 5 ever and beer brat was delicious. Atmosphere was fun with nice outdoor area.”

“Amazing food! And Andy will serve it up with a smile!”

“"Do you want some free bacon?", well of course I do. And while I'm at it let me try this spicy sweet sauce on it. And let me go ahead and buy some of that sweet tree heat maple. That's pretty much how it went down. Super tasty maple that's going on my hot wings. and glazed salmon. and vanilla icecream. and probably a ton of other things I haven't figured out yet.”

“Good food in a small town.. First time there, was delicious!!!”

“Tried this place for the first time today, I got the French toast and my partner got the blt. The French toast is really fluffy and tasty and comes with wild blackberries which is an awesome touch.

The coffee is a little bitter but the size was a little small for the price. It looked like an 8 ounce cup. Just seems a little small. Other than that, it was pretty good.”

“LOVE Wokky's...best Chinese in town!!”

“This breakfast food was the best food I've ever had! I'm a foodie but I don't ever expect much from breakfast and this food blew me away! My husband and I shared 4 small items and it ALL WAS AMAZING! On top of that, the service was fast, warm, friendly and professional! Coffee was refilled more than I even needed and it was delicious!! Truly an amazing place- I don't live local and I am trying to convince my husband to move now! Lol”

“Delicious food and great service! Beautiful setting and not far from Middlebury College.”

“Have loved this place since they first opened! I could eat their food every week! It’s authentic Thai food made with the freshest ingredients ! My favorites are the ginger tofu stir fry and the Veggie Pad woon sen! This is a takeout only, home kitchen based place! Order at least 2 hours early! You will be very pleased!!”

“I cannot thank Paris and the team enough for all the help with a surprise birthday party. There was 20 of us and they made it look easy. The food came out tasting perfect and within great timing. Our server was very attentive and kind. They helped set up decorations before we arrived. I’m so grateful it went as smoothly as it did. Thank you so much!”

“The whole family enjoyed an excellent meal tonight start to finish. Service was friendly and quick. The setting was beautiful. Salads were fresh and flavorful. Had the kalette appetizer which the whole table enjoyed. Entrees were fantastic! I had the rib eye. One son had the steak au poivre; another had haddock with heirloom tomatoes, and my husband had the pork chops. We all agreed it was a perfect meal. We ended the meal with wonderful desserts - maple creme brulee, marscapone cheesecake, banana bread pudding, and ice cream with a praline topping. Just the right size and sweetness to finish this wonderful meal. We hope to be back soon.”

“What a charming and relaxing place to enjoy a wide selection of teas and a delicious assortment of hand made chocolates. It’s a bit challenging to find because of road construction, but it is so worth the effort. *****”

“#AmazingInn #SwiftHouseInn 🥰”

“Superb coffee roasted right in the back, and highly skilled baristas -- half the time I'm in there I see the owners training staff on the finer points of different drinks. They've even mastered the Tornado, a very obscure, strong and delicious espresso drink. The pastries are excellent but I wish they a few more -- maybe sandwiches or bagels and cream cheese. Nice vibe and good music, too.”

“Thank you so much to Caroline! She made my daughter a beautiful vegan birthday cake!!! ❤️🥳”

“The best latte I’ve ever had in my life! Prices are beyond reasonable, and the vibe of the cafe is nice as well.”

“I was visiting Middlebury for a few weeks and decided to try this restaurant. It was excellent! I ended up returning many times during my vacation. My favorite dish was the Paneer Tikka. Definitely worth your time to go here. I never dined in the actual restaurant but their takeout business is great. My food was always hot when I picked it up.”

“Best BLT in the world. 😋👏”

“I did a wine tasting dinner at Lincoln Peak for a small group and it was fantastic. The winery is beautiful, and we were seated on a deck overlooking a pond and the vineyards, really a perfect setting. The wines were delicious, honestly I didn't think Vermont could produce great wine until I tasted these, our entire group was very impressed. Nichole, one of the owners, worked with me to arrange the event and was there to host us. She was great to work with, very helpful and responsive, and so knowledgable about the wines. Overall it was a fantastic event, and I'm looking forward to visiting Lincoln Peak again when I'm in the area.”

“I wish I could give out a rare 6 star review. Today, my friends and I stopped in for an early lunch and were blown away by Costello’s.

To begin, the restaurant/market offers a welcoming and warm vibe with plenty of selection of wines, pastas, oils, treats, and deli selections to regularly purchase at any time. Things are clean, well organized, and presented well.

The service was absolutely exceptional. The host was exceptional in her service and friendliness. It is rare I do this, but I need to go out of my way to say just how much she made my day from how friendly and professional she was. She handled a very busy lunch rush with style and grace; effortlessly.

The food was sensational. I got the brisket, one of my friends got a Cuban, and one got a big salad. All were absolutely amazing. Fresh ingredients. Flavorful and thoughtful combinations, and perfect execution. The menu is extensive, and excellent. Their seafood options are very strong as well. Thank you to my man in the back. You make amazing food!

Overall if you need a great place that has you covered with the nice red wines, deli selections, pastas, sandwiches and fresh ingredients then stop by today! Because of your service and how delicious the food was, I will be sure to come back again. Thank you so much. You have a wonderful business. We will be back again!

“Love their boba tea and dumplings. Staff is super nice as well.”

“Best place around! They are so friendly, and make amazing food, with great prices!”

“Great experience. The self-guided tour provided the unique origins of hard cider into what we know and love today. The flights of drinks offered tastes of different flavors that may not be available at all locations. Plenty of items to purchase. Exceeded all expectations.”

“Absolutely Delicious & Amazing Service! Nikki did an incredible job with our wedding cake and cupcakes! Not only were they absolutely delicious, but they were also beautifully made—perfect for our winter wedding. Beyond her amazing talent, she was so professional and easy to talk to throughout the entire process. She made the experience stress-free, and truly delivered above and beyond our expectations. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend her for any special occasion! Thanks again Nikki!”

“The Lincoln General Store is such a gem in our community. The staff is always incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming, and they make every visit feel personal. They have such a fun mix of unique products along with many of the everyday essential.”

“Always love Flatbread! I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always a must when I’m back in town. Danielle and Steve are awesome owners and treat their staff very well. Auggie and Alicia are phenomenal bartenders!”

“My friend and I visited yesterday 09/30/2025 for her birthday lunch as she is "Vegan and gluten free" and this looked perfect. It was perfect!!!!! The whole experience was a 10 out of 10. Excellent delicious and healthy organic soup for lunch with a peanut noodle salad, and of course a slice of banana, chocolate, nut bread. The gentleman who took our order delivered our food to our table with a smile. We talked about our lunch experience the rest of the day. Can't wait to go back. Thank you so much, Dena & Erika”
