Restaurants in Burlington

“Every bite was amazing taste experience! We are do happy to have this restaurant in our neighborhood!”

“Disappointed. The food was mediocre and a little pricey. Husband and son had the steak burger which was small and not very well seasoned. Wait staff was very nice. Ambiance is pleasant.”

“We were not anticipating such a high quality crafted establishment when we saw this place on Google. Everything is made fresh and tasted amazing.

We got the New Vermont Sausage pizza, Caesar salad, and maple lemonade... All fantastic! Also the decor and vibes were well crafted and all the pizza is made in an open style kitchen.”

“One of the best pies I’ve ever had with unmatchable service. As soon and you walk in you’re greeted by Emily who will take the best care of you. 10/10. Don’t be a fool. Tell Emily we said hi!”

“Food is always delicious, piping hot, and extremely flavorful! A great spot in the new north end!”

“We were the 1st couple to arrive last night with no reservations and were quickly seated. Both my husband and my dinners were excellent. I ordered the pork ribs and clams and my husband had the pork schnitzel. We really enjoyed it all as well as our cocktails. It was too dark in there for me, but I got through it!”

“Such a cute place with great coffee and perfect place to work”

“Fantastic restaurant on Church Street in "downtown" Burlington. Great place to go with a group of friends for Mediterranean Mezze (small plates.. like tapas). Everything was high quality and perfect to share with around 3-4 people and while trying a larger variety of 5-6 different dishes... Or until you get full, but don't forget to leave room for dessert which were all delightful as well! The grilled halloumi cheese, Lamb Pide (Mediterranean flatbread with lamb sausage), brussel sprouts, shrimp tabil, lamb bun and Spanakopita were all great options to share.”

“Once inside you are transported to another place! Super friendly staff, awesome music, and Hot, HOT mouth watering delicious breakfast sandwiches & coffee! 10/10🤩”

“I love this local restaurant! Great burgers and chicken sandwiches. Fries are crispy and tasty. Drinks are always well made by the super friendly bartender. And they also do a great weekend brunch.”

“Absolutely a must. If you are looking for a sweet little spot for fantastic comfort food, this is it. The people are so amazing and kind, they help me despite my health/dietary restrictions, this is a breakfast I get excited for. The food is so good, fresh, and the french toast is out-of-this-world fluffy. Looking for a meal made with love, look no further.”

“This is the place if you want the very best Pho Vermont has to offer. I've been coming here for almost 15 years and I've never had a bad meal. The food is always fresh and amazing. The staff is excellent and they offer wonderful customer service. Most of the employees have been working there for years (clearly a good sign) and they know how to take care of their customers. Love Pho Hong!!”

“Amazing dining experience. Make sure you come with someone who loves to share food because you’ll want to taste it all! Went for my birthday and staff was so kind and service was great. Can’t wait to go back!”

“delicious latkes & toppings! thanks bryan!”

“My recent visit to Trattoria Delia was an absolute delight, truly living up to its reputation as a consistently excellent Italian dining spot. From the moment I stepped inside, the cozy, rustic ambiance, with its charming Italian cave vibe, enveloped me, promising a wonderful evening. The noise level was perfectly quiet, allowing for easy conversation, which I always appreciate.

The service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and genuinely top-notch. For starters, the antipasto was simply amazing, setting a high bar for the courses to come. For my main, I opted for the gnocchi entree, and it was a revelation – perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. My dining companion had the filet, which they declared one of the best they had ever tasted.

Of course, no Italian meal is complete without tiramisu, and Trattoria Delia’s did not disappoint. It was utterly excellent; so good, in fact, that I savored every bite and happily took the rest home to enjoy later. While parking can be a bit of a challenge, requiring reliance on meters or a nearby garage, it's a minor hurdle for such a memorable experience. This is definitely a superb choice for a special occasion, and I can’t wait to return.”

“Good bar for families with kids or young adults wanting to chill and play a board game. Good beer. Food comes out quickly but can be hit or miss. I have really enjoyed some fries there but have had a very dry chicken sandwich and pasta that was just okay. Nice atmosphere, lots of plants, not too loud.”

“Had an amazing afternoon at the tasting room! Both bartenders were incredibly knowledgeable and personable, guiding me through the tasting and helping me choose a few drinks. I ended up leaving with a great selection of Mad River products. If you're a bourbon or rum enthusiast visiting the Burlington area, this spot is a must-visit!”

“The food in this restaurant is amazing. It is also amazing to sit a the chef’s bar and watch them cook up close while you eat. Awesome restaurant, will definitely be coming back”

“Another great meal. Try the secret menu item, Maria Burger! You can’t go wrong !”

“Great spot, great beers and friendly service. A nice place to enjoy a drink by the lake front in Burlington. We’ll be back next time for sure!”

“We stopped in for a quick drink. 👍🏻”

“My daughters and I had the best food there today! It is My youngest daughter’s birthday, will definitely go back again and recommend to our friends!”

“Thé freshly made pasta makes all the difference”

“Bartenders Will and Jayden did a fantastic job. Service was quick and prompt. The food was even better. I don't know what this place is paying them but this place should pay them more. Excellent service. Hip atmosphere job well done 👏 Shane”

“Some great cider options including several non-alcoholic options and everything between very dry and sweet. Over a dozen cider styles. Our favorites were the Juicy Hazy and the Unified. The fried cheese curds were exceptional and made from local Vermont cheese.”

“food was amazing, and the server was friendly very kind person. Definitely recommend Sherpa Kitchen!”

“The dark chocolate gelato was delicious!”

“We had a wonderful meal with our UVM student granddaughter. Terrific service, delicious food. Our granddaughter said she’d come with her friends for drinks too. I guess it’s hip also!”

“We ordered a vegan birthday cake and picked up lunch when we got it. The cake was absolutely delicious and my lunch wrap was remarkably good as well. So happy!”

“I went there with my gf as a camping trip and a birthday trip. Kerry's awesome, her staff is awesome and the place was filled with games. Food was good too and staff was available for questions and was really kind. I couldn't recommend enough this place if you ever visit Burlington, VT.”

“The best coffee in Burlington, and maybe the world. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. What a great place with a choice of 3 espressos!”

“We had a delightful meal tonight at Bourbon Street restaurant in Burlington, Vermont. Chef Richard is the host, chef and owner. He was a pleasure to meet, the food was delicious and the desserts were fantastic. This is a cozy little Mecca in Burlington. We felt like we were welcomed into Richard’s home.

“We ordered a vegan birthday cake and picked up lunch when we got it. The cake was absolutely delicious and my lunch wrap was remarkably good as well. So happy!”

“Amazing service! Great food! Highly recommend!”

“The food is best described as "OK" (though I guess that makes it authentic British food, eh?) - one of the sandwiches of all time!
Where these guys shine is the service. They're always friendly, accommodating, and fast. Extensive menu options, as well. Good if you need a quick sandwich and don't want anything fancy, or to spend an arm and a leg on a sub that's tiny and overpriced, this is a great option!”

“Amazing!!! Tasty and fresh. And, the people are really nice. Will look forward to going back!”

“👍great spot for a coffee and a bagel”

“My recent visit to Zabby & Elf's Stone Soup presented a mixed bag of experiences. I appreciated their concept, particularly the extensive hot and cold bars brimming with vegetarian options, truly a menu dominated by plant-based choices. Yet, not every dish clicked. I found some vegetarian hot bar items disappointingly bland, lacking the vibrant flavors I hoped for. The turkey reuben, surprisingly, had an odd, off-putting sweetness that was a definite miss for my palate.

Despite these culinary inconsistencies, some food items were genuinely delicious, showcasing good diversity. Be mindful of the $15 per pound buffet price, though sandwiches are large enough to share. A useful tip: always ask for their free bread!

The atmosphere and service, however, were exceptional. The place boasts a cool vibe, with a big open window ideal for sunny days. While indoor seating felt a tad intimate, outdoor options were available. The staff stood out—incredibly friendly, engaging, and genuinely warm, elevating the entire experience. While the flavors can be a gamble, Zabby & Elf's welcoming environment and stellar service make it worth a visit, especially for those seeking abundant vegetarian selections.”

“My visit to Scout O.N.E. was a charming experience that offered a taste of Burlington’s relaxed and cozy vibe. Tucked away in a sunlit corner, this café felt like a quiet haven—perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful coffee moment or get some work done in a calm environment. The service stood out immediately: the baristas were friendly, knowledgeable, and quick without ever seeming rushed.

I ordered a hand-crafted London Fog and an espresso, both of which were excellent. The espresso was rich, fresh, and served in a proper-sized cup—no oversized, watered-down versions here. I also tried a locally made pastry that paired beautifully with my drink. While some might find the pricing a touch higher than other spots on North Street, I felt the quality and experience justified it.

The atmosphere was very quiet—almost library-like—which might not be for everyone. But if you're into slow mornings, quiet productivity, or just a break from the hustle, this place is a gem. There’s also plenty of free street parking, which made the visit even more convenient.

Scout O.N.E. isn’t trying to be flashy—it’s about warmth, quality, and attention to detail. I left feeling refreshed and would absolutely return for another calm and delicious coffee experience.”

“Great, authentic Indian cuisine!”

“the guys there are amazing funny friendly. great food and nice deli 👌”

“Night club style vibe yet cozy and intimate. Great service and delicious flavors, food and drinks.

“Had an absolute awesome experience and deliciously crafted cocktails!”

“For my birthday today, I wanted the scallion pancakes from Green Mountain Potstickers and pre-ordered those plus some potstickers. When I went to pick up my order, Carey had surprised me with amazing flowers from June Farm...what??? Not only was the food excellent, that was so sweet, unexpected and way beyond what one would do for a stranger...it is definitely much appreciated! Thank you Carey and as you can see from the photo, the pancakes and half of the dumplings were consumed before I can take a photo. 😜 You made my morning and our tummies were very grateful!”

“THE place for Chinese in the new north end. How are the prices so cheap?? My family gets takeout from here all the time. Kind staff, amazing prices, very fast. Anything you order will be like 4 portions.”

“Wow! We've been loyal Tiny Thai customers for years, but decided to try Suvi's because it's so much closer. The rice is fluffy, the vegetables are cooked perfectly. Very fresh tasting. Love the yellow curry dish, the stir fried chicken with cashews and pad thai are sooo good. And the spring rolls and crab ragoon are just lightly fried. Deelish. Husband wife team are super nice. New favorite place for take out.”

“This place has the BEST breakfast I have ever eaten. I got the mushroom toast and it exceeded all expectations. The drinks were excellent too. The strawberry danish was enough to make me want to come back to Burlington just for that.”

“My husband and I recently threw a party using the event space at Queen City Brewery. It was a great space for our group of around 50 guests with our own bartender in the room and pizza from Pizza 44 next door. The staff at Queen City and Pizza 44 made everything so easy from communication leading up to the event, to the execution of the event the day of. We were so happy with the turnout of our event!”

“I ordered two shrimp tacos for $12 amazing a mushroom soup that was outstanding and I bought two more to go. It was amazing the soup was. The mixed drinks were reasonable price a person named Thomas was amazing bartender he was fabulous. I would recommend to go here to eat. It’s very good feeling good atmosphere food.”

“Excelente opcion para un buen desayuno y almuerzo, porciones grandes y a un buen precio!”

“You know a place is great when you go there again the next morning.

Hip little breakfast spot that services classics, Mexican-style breakfasts like Tacos, and killer smoothies. If you're looking for the best sit-down breakfast in Burlington, this is a contender.

The place has a tiki-style vibe, super friendly service, and even has a bar if you want to grab a Bloody Mary or something similar.

Ample parking on site, down the road from plenty of stores so it makes a good jump-off point if you have a car and you're visiting.”

“The Pinery was the perfect addition to our wedding. The trailer was ideal for our venue due to limited space inside for a bar. The staff was flexible and friendly leading up to our wedding and the day of.The Pinery worked with us to create a bar menu that was a hit with our guests. We were able to create a menu with his and her cocktails and other cocktails to appease all guests. The team was also very helpful at recommending beers, wines, and nonalcoholic beverages. The prebatched cocktails (margarita, bees knees, whiskey sour) were all such a hit with our guests that we still receive compliments months after the wedding. The team even went as far as setting aside some of the his and her cocktails to ensure we had some before they were all gone and holding onto an egg white to make me a proper whiskey sour before the end of the night.We look forward to working with The Pinery again in the future and cannot recommend them enough for a wedding bar service.Carsen & Taylor”

“great local brew… always hits the spot”

“Just found this place while walking up and down Church St. So happy I did. Walk in and order at the counter. The employee was super nice and friendly. They have lots of sandwich options or you can build your own. The sandwich was massive! $13 with a bag of chips and it was well worth the price. I had turkey with fixings and the meat was half the sandwich. They do not skimp! It was exactly what I was looking for. I only had half because it was so big, so easily shareable if you like that. The leftovers were just as good!”

“Delicious bagels and great sandwiches. It’s always super clean and the employees are really nice and helpful.”

“We have been coming here since 1986 when it was a tiny spot that let us teenagers sit and drink coffee all day. They are one of Burlington’s oldest and most loved restaurants, known for their early bird Bistro dinner that serves French classics like Beef Bourgignon, Steak Frites and even gluten free Cavatappi Carbonara. Tonight it was snowing hard and the restaurant was still full and the service was terrific. It’s our go-to place for the last 35 years and I’m grateful they are still around.”

“Seated right away per our reservation at a lovely table ordered drinks and very quickly (too quickly) our meals arrived . They were absolutely delicious! But I was still sipping on my cocktail. We saved room for dessert and each ordered one. It took over 20 minutes for them to arrive. Ridiculous! Again, they were amazing but Ed waited way too long as we did for the check. They did comp the dessert at my request but it still but a damper on the evening.”
