“I just had their breakfast sandwich so nothing can upset me today. I’m bringing their buttery biscuits nine hours away - should be a crime to miss out on them tbh. My bestest Burlington experience to date!”

“My family just arrived from Nepal and were craving chole bhatura, a dish not listed on the menu. However, upon our single request, the restaurant graciously prepared it for us. Honestly, they made our day with their exceptional service and delicious food.

We also tried the chicken momo, chicken chow mein ,veg and chicken samosas, which were fantastic. Additionally, we ordered chowmein and momos for takeout, and they did not disappoint. This place is the best Indian restaurant around, offering some Nepali and Indo-Chinese dishes as well. Highly recommended!”

“Amazing place. Interesting spins on classic mediterranean dishes. Clearly the focus is on providing quality ingredients with rich but clean flavors. Service is top quality. Atmosphere was very chill, but attentive (this is a pleasant surprise creating such high level amazing food without all the pomp and circumstance).

I can totally see why they earned multiple James Beard nominations.”

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

“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!!”

“Best food in Burlington by far if you want casual eating. It's not greasy bar food, don't let the truck kitchen fool you. What they serve is fresh and delicious. On top of that, you can't beat the view!”

“Shy Guy makes the best gelato on planet Earth. Sorry Italy, our Vermonter takes the cone. Paul’s creativity for flavors is unmatched and every bite of his creation is pure perfection.

“I am from out of town but whenever I am in Burlington I make sure to stop here for a drink and a bite. The brews are fantastic and creative, and the menu is well thought out. The food quality is also great and has many options for shareable sizes. I like that this space is mixed blend - tables for a sit down meal, areas for more casual catch ups, and a large bar for quick and easy service. The service at the table can be a little bit slow if they get busy.”

“Nice place and good atmosphere. Great selection of beers. Not a lot of meal choices.
Food tasted good but not great. Service is excellent and it's very well located.”

“My friends and I had a phenomenal time here. We had the cornbread and fries as an appetizer. We got the family reunion as our entree. Everything tasted great. All the meats were well seasoned and paired well with the available sauces. Nothing was dry, I think all the meats were very well cooked. My favorite sides were the Mac & Cheese and the smashed potatoes. If you’re going in a large group, I’d recommend the family reunion. Our waitress, Alice, was great to us! Alice made the whole experience top tier.”

“White tablecloths and a private room for six with everything served the right way-We started our evening with salads and enjoyed them as much as the steak frites, creamed spinach and seared/crusted Ahi Tuna-all superb and delicious. The service and hospitality also hit the spot!l”

“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”

“Pascolo's in Burlington is definitely the best Italian food that I've had in Vermont. Not by a little, but by Giant amount. Plus, the people that work here are super friendly. If you haven't eaten here, just stop being stupid and make a reservation right now. Ask for Anna. I asked her to make a couple of choices for what ways to take the food and everything was incredible.”

We are happy that we were able to get reservations. The food has various little twists that provided gastronomical delights.”

Parking: Plenty of parking around the building.”

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

“This is probably the first time I have actively sought out a business to leave a review. I couldn't end the night without sharing how incredible this spot is! Every element of our meal was amazing. The decor was so inviting, our whole group instantly felt like we left Burlington and entered Cuba. Then, our server was spectacular with explaining the menu, making recommendations, and just being such a positive part of the experience. The food was superb. We got the 3 chips for the table and I can honestly say I've never enjoyed chips so much. We all loved our drinks and entrees. The music was great for setting the vibe, but never so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. This will be my new recommendation for friends visiting the area. We will be back!!”

We all took a few glances at the huge menu with some phenomenal choices and ordered. The food was amazing, fresh bread, delicious ingredients, and the pastrami and swiss panini was life-changing. Will absolutely be coming back!”

“First time ordering here thru the app. I wanted to try the Strawberry Crème Frappuccino and it was delicious! It gets pretty busy from time to time. It’s inside market 32, so you can do your shopping after getting your drink.”

“Chris and Joanne are the lovely owners of this bakery, and it is SO GOOD. We get pastries delivered to our cafe a few miles away and our customers can’t stop praising GH for their muffins, scones, peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, shortbread bars, and more! My favorite is the oatmeal fruit bar. They also have delicious paninis at 11am and, my favorite thing ever, the draft latte. I go here every weekend at this point! :) PS the barista is awesome, I think Maggie? She always makes drinks look so nice and has inventive flavors!”

“Atmosphere: There was a nice variety of seating options. They had a small selection of local coffee and tea for sale. In addition there were a few handcrafted items for sale.
Service: The girls behind the counter were very friendly.
Food: We got an iced London fog and iced chai Marsala. They were both great and not sickeningly sweet. She added a little maple syrup to sweeten it and it was greatly appreciated. I enjoyed the chai so much that I brought some to take home.”

“I had a wonderful breakfast at Nomad! It was organic, delicious and filling!”

“Nice indoor and outdoor terrace, friendly. Too much slippery stuff on the burger patty melt, but otherwise all was nice.

Parking: Very close to the waterfront, small but convenient free parking is a plus.”

“My first job was at a NJ bagel shop. It was under the table and I was underage, that’s how you know we were legit ? I feel that I gatekeep bagels, having lived in NYC, Boston and now VT.

It’s on Church st and in VT but to my surprise, this place is AWESOME. The quality of the bagels, the creativity of the sandwiches, the diversity of the cream cheeses. Man oh man do I look forward to coming here almost every day.

Not only is the food product exceptional (freshly baked) but the staff is also lovely. Attentive, they remember me, customer service oriented, and friendly.

My favorite sandwich to get is the Jalapeño cheddar bagel not toasted (why toast it if it is freshly baked each day?) with bacon scallion (which they now have discontinued booooo) cream cheese with tomato slices. Highly recommend and hope one day they will call this sandwich “The Ana””

“Not often that you walk into a place like this. So eclectic, so different! And, incredible food! Owners introduced themselves, giving the feeling of "home". So welcomed! Our server, Abigail Quinticia Flynn, was amazing! Highly recommend!!”

“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”
