4 Best Bistros near Burlington

“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.“

“We were visiting our granddaughter at UVM and took her and her dad to this charming bistro for dinner. We had a great meal - steak frites, 1/2 rack of lamb, jerk swordfish, and a veggie pasta in Parmigiana cream sauce, preceded by excellent cocktails and followed by delicious desserts. The classic art deco ambience was perfect. When you can wow three generations including an 18 year old, you're definitely doing a great job!.“

“My wife and I went in for a nice breakfast with my daughter and her partner. We were greeted by a nice young waitress named Norra and her service was excellent. She was very attentive and insured that everything we ordered was correct. All of the food was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. The only change that I would make is the homemade hash brown which to me was a little dense and needed a little bit more seasoning. Otherwise everything was great. We will definitely be back here the next time we visit Vermont.“
