Hen of the Wood - Burlington 55 Cherry St, Burlington American • $$$
55 Cherry St, Burlington

“Phenomenal restaurant! Food, service, atmosphere everything was five stars. The staff was knowledgeable and kind. Everything was brought out the moment it was placed on the counter from the chefs. I’d highly recommend. Parker House rolls were to die for, the oysters were some of the best I’ve had, and the hanger steak was cooked to perfection.”

Pizzeria Verità 156 St Paul St, Burlington Pizza • $$
156 St Paul St, Burlington

“This Is now my favorite place to eat in Burlington. We sat at the bar and had excellent service by both bartenders. The wine was very good - 2019 Mara Valpolicella Ripasso - and reasonably priced. We shared the Salsiccia E Funghi pizza with the spicy sausage - more than enough for two people. This is one of the most flavorful pizzas I have ever had! We also enjoyed the atmosphere here - fun, relaxed and the right kind of music. Thanks for a great dining experience! We will be back!”

Honey Road 156 Church St, Burlington Mediterranean • $$

“Still my favorite restaurant in Burlington after many years. Revisited last week for the first time in a couple of years and everything was phenomenal. The menu is ever changing but some classics remain - the muhamarra and baba ganoush served with warm pita are perfect. Also have been dreaming of the halloumi. Even my extremely picky eating 15 year old brother tried and loved almost everything which is a huge testament to this place. Order as many dishes as you can and savor each bite!”

“Tonight’s dinner was a first for me and not a last for sure … Rachel (my daughter) recommended Sherpa Kitchen, a Nepalese Cuisine … this restaurant was very casual with really tasty food … I started off with Chai which was delicious … then Sherpa Stew Combination (beef & lamb) … it was a broth soup with wide noodles, vegetables, beef and lamb with wonderful heat … excellent flavor and so satisfying … for dessert I had Basta Maakhu (a cheese dumpling in a caramel sauce) … this was excellent … I would rate this meal a 9.5 … a definite place to visit when in Burlington, VT … LIVE LOVE LAUGH & EAT ALWAYS … ????#CancerFree2024 #LiveLoveLaughAlways #sherpastew #napelesecuisine #cancerwarrior #cancersurvivor #diningout #EyeOnTheFuture”

Where we were sat was a bit loud but it didn't deter much from the time. Highly recommend!!Dietary restrictions: I let the waitress now of my dietary restrictions and she was able to point out clearly on the menu what was on for me and what was not, it helped a bunch!”

11 Center St Suite 1, Burlington

“My husband and I wandered in just now and had brain fog from a long drive, so we didn’t get to express how amazed and grateful we were for Richard’s food / how lucky we were that he could accommodate us. (We didn’t realize that he was a one-man show; our apologies). We were lucky enough to come across Richard’s shop randomly browsing on Google Maps. The blackened catfish was amazing, and the atmosphere is cozy. Will definitely have to stop back in if we get the chance.”

115 St Paul St, Burlington

“Even if this place is not a "gluten free" place, they offer a wide selection of gluten free food. We were a group of 6, including 2 gluten intolerant/coeliac and we had the gluten free pizzas (the small ones (that are not that small!!) can be gluten free, but the large ones are not available gluten free (not a big deal, btw!!))This is absolutely tasteful and the 4 of us that had those GF pizzas without needing them to be GF didn't see any difference with regular pizzas!The place is warm, nice and the service is fast and always comes with a smile.Located in the Church Street area, this place is truly a must. We will be back for sure!!Dietary restrictions: Wide selection of gluten free food. Also many vegetarian food. Overall, it is tasty ?”

“Very cool coffeeshop right in front of the Co-op has great coffee and standout pastries - best croissant ? in Burlington so far - still have more to try. The building itself is a yuppie dream warehouse situation.Parking: Parking is tricky to get into because the access road right next to the coffeeshop is one way. Enter through the Howard center and there is another entrance in back.”

Brio Coffeeworks 266 Pine St Suite 116, Burlington Coffee Roasteries • $$
266 Pine St Suite 116, Burlington

“My wife and I visit Brio every time we visit Vermont which is as often as possible. This past October we visited before spending a day in Burlington. My wife who is not a big coffee drinker had a Calypso espresso while I a big coffee drinker went with the single origin Ethiopia Shantawene. Fast forward 4 months and I am still dreaming about that single origin espresso. I roast my own coffee at home and drink a ton of espresso and I still have not been able to recreate anything like that experience. Brio is one of the best in the business and I 100% recommend stopping while you are in the Burlington area. I hope some day to be able to pull a shot of my own coffee that can re create that experience over again. Thanks for everything you do!”

160 Bank St, Burlington

“The bartender was quick and friendly, sharing stories of other breweries and beers. They were on a hiatus from brewing there while they redo their brew area but had lots of great beers on tap and some of theirs in bottles. The food was excellent too! They closed at 8 on a Friday night, though? It seemed like it was just getting busy! The bartender placed a food order for 2 friends who were arriving just before 8 and served us beers after 8. I will definitely go there again when I'm in the area.”
