Restaurants in Manchester Center

“We had an incredible meal at Mystico in Manchester, VT, Friday night! This was our first time visiting since their rebranding, and it did not disappoint. The crudos were perfectly paired and balanced—each one a standout. The focaccia with whipped ricotta was delicious, and the fresh pasta was absolutely incredible. Every dish we tried was flawless!l- squid ink with scallops special, Burrata bucatini, duck ragu- all amazing! While the desserts were good, they didn’t quite have the same wow factor as the rest of the meal. If you haven’t been to Mystico yet, I highly recommend it!”

“Tonight was the first night we tried it. They were very helpful in letting me get burritos 2 mins before they closed. It was a welcoming feeling and the burritos were delicious. We will definitely be back with more time to explore”

“Very friendly and efficient server!! Great burger and fries”

“Wanted to get away for the night.Looked for food in the Manchester VT area and saw a few pictures from this Turkish cafe and it looked AMAZING. so we decided to take the hour drive to go eat and get away and man am I glad we did. We started with the Hummus it was to die for. Then we followed it with the lamb kabobs and the taste was phenomenal!!!!!! The portions are generous the taste was absolutely amazing. We ended it with dessert and altho I was a little disappointed I could not try the Sutlac as it was sold out (in there defense it was 7:50pm and they close at 8) we did get pistachio baklava and the tiramisu which was absolutely amazing! Would most definitely go back and recommend to family and friends.”

“I've been meaning to leave a review for Curate for ever since it opened in the spring of 2021. The wait staff is great and the menu has something for everyone. I love going up there for lunch with all the windows and beautiful light. The perfect place to bring someone special in need of a change of scenery or pace.”

“Wonderful historical place, unique atmosphere, very good food, great service!”

“I’m so glad to see that you have come to Rutland!! I purchased your brown stew chicken and curry chicken… some of the best Jamaican food I have had! The food is flavorful.. love your potato salad!!!”

“My husband and I experienced nippers today and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food as we are dining at an odd time in the afternoon. The owner was our waitress, and she made sure my cheese sandwich had extra tomatoes and bacon on it, which I had not asked for, but she Upgraded it with no charge.. Hubby had a chicken quesadilla, which was different from his usual and he was a little hesitant to try it but essentially enjoyed it after the first few bites. It had black beans on it and he normally doesn’t enjoy that kind of thing. The restaurant is cozy and inviting. I anticipated a menu of grandma‘s chicken pie.-beef stew with mashed potatoes-or macaroni and cheese with hotdog. However, we were satisfied with our choices although we did not go for breakfast food we did enjoy what we had.”

“My wife and I visited Manchester today and we had a wonderful lunch at Zoey’s! My wife had a turkey dinner and I had the double hex burger with caramelized onions. Little that I realize it was a top five burger in all of Vermont! It definitely lived up to that billing. We will certainly be back again!”

“Visited Manchester for a wedding and went to the Up For Breakfast. Our food was so delicious we went back the next morning. Highly recommend.”

“Loved the atmosphere, the staff was wonderful, service was fast and delicious. Highly recommend anybody to stop there”

“hands down one of the best”

“Love the Little Rooster. Don't appreciate the review by Anne Marie Beecher-Thompson that gives only 2 stars because of a conversation having nothing at all to do with the restaurant.”

“I never expected great barbecue in the middle of the Green Mountains. The brisket was superb and I have had brisket from Franklin’s in Austin, TX. I prefer Pearl’s. They have a large selection of bourbons and they make a great Old Fashioned. Our server Betty was wonderful and she made a great presentation of the Bacon Clothesline. We will probably make the 3-1/2 hour trip just for the brisket.”

“Great night with cold beer! Awesome service”

“Mother Myrick’s shipped a lemon lulu wedding cake to Montana 20 years ago today! That cake is still talked about! Thank you for making our wedding so special 20 years ago! We still love ordering lemon lulu’s 40 years later from when we starting coming to the store as a kid. Cheers! Courtney Dann”

“Highly recommend a visit! Nancy’s hospitality was bubbly, enthusiastic, and welcoming. Jackson was on point with his attention to serving and making sure our dinner was all it should have been. Can’t wait to take our next trip back. Wendy & John”

“Love their food! Can’t wait to go back!”

“Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Every restaurant was full and we saw the open light- so good”

“The best place in Manchester for pre-made Italian dishes! And an incredible variety of Italian products and wine.”

“Lovely, creatively prepared food. Lovely service. Good music. Good wine.”

“So delicious! Our new favorite spot in Manchester! Food is high quality, fast, and excellent service. Love the Spicy Chicken sandwich and waffle fries!And you can enjoy the sunshine on a beautiful day!”

“Mistral's is the restaurant that my wife and I visit to treat ourselves to something rare and very special. It's tucked away off the main highway, on the side of a mountain, and built to follow the curve of the streamlet dancing alongside it. It just feels so special to walk in. We are always seated at a window looking across to the forest and down to the brook. It's magical, beautiful, artistic and so romantic. The wine list is perfectly selected to provide a carefree point of departure from ordinary life. The appetizers, the entrees, the deserts are always well prepared, pleasantly unassuming, thoughtfully presented, and a pleasure to enjoy. It's all just so lovely and comes complete with a staff that serves with dignity, competence and warmth. It's unlike any place else in an exceptionally good way. It's a treasure that we return to again and again.”

“Lunch at this beautiful basement restaurant... Is perfect in the winter. It's cozy, the food was excellent and the service was above and beyond. Highly recommend!!”

“Great place for breakfast and lunch not to mention the deserts are out this world.”

“Absolutely amazing place to stop and have lunch. We were driving from Okemo to Albany and stopped here at Zoey's on the way. Our sandwiches were so delicious, portions were huge, and there seemed to be a lot of support towards small businesses in here. If we're ever back in Vermont, we surely will come back.”

“A lot of people sell coffee. Dunkin’ Donuts has a unique Taste. That’s why I do enjoy Their products.”

“The food and ambiance was fine but the noise level was beyond loud with tourist gathering for a weekend event with LOTS of swearing, unfortunately !! We are locals, and love our falcon bar but this has happened to us twice now with friends visiting, we will give it one more try.”

“We loved this brewery! We loved the big windows, high ceilings and a very long bar. with tvs. Lots of seating for every group that comes in. They had a great variety of beer along with prosecco, cider, selzer and wine. We only had the pretzel which was very good, but all the food that was coming out around us looked excellent. Service was great. We had a great time!”

“What a wonderful experience! Ralph and Phyllis were the sweetest couple and made us feel completely at home, like we were part of the family. Their kindness and hospitality truly made our visit special.

After dinner, Ralph went above and beyond—he actually walked us to a nearby ice cream shop and convinced the owner to reopen after they had already shut off the lights and were heading home for the night. That level of generosity and care is something you rarely see.

We spent a little time chatting with them, and it was clear how much they genuinely care about their customers. The sushi was fantastic, but it was the warm, welcoming atmosphere that really stood out. We had such a great time and will 100% be back the next time we’re in town. Highly recommend!”

“Ten family members and myself ate lunch at Christo’s today. We were 5 separate orders. All of us had an EXCEPTIONAL experience, but especially the food! Our pizza was fantastic! Would go back in a heartbeat.”

“Charlie's is the main reason we go to Manchester, VT from Albany, NY! The BEST sandwiches around (my favorite being the turkey BLT, hold the T!). Sandwiches are made fresh right then and there and are PACKED with deliciousness. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The place is very clean and it gives a very rustic, welcoming feel the moment you walk in. If you haven't been to this treasure, you're missing out!!!”

“Always great friendly service!!!! And the best coffee!!!!”

“We stopped here to get late lunch on our way out of Vermont. when we stepped inside we were notified that they were short-handed. Four people had called off there was only two people working. Just the mother and daughter. There was a handful of customers in the dining room. Everybody had their food and was happy. we were given a heads-up that it may take a few minutes longer. It was actually faster than most places do fully staffed, the food was super fresh hot and delicious. the group of people I was with totaled 10, a handful of people came in after us and the existing people in the waiting room definitely would have made for busy times for fully staffed restaurant. But this mother and daughter duo rocked it! If you haven't ate here go do it, the food was hot and delicious. The staff was super friendly. The restaurant was very clean A+ all around”

“Our waitress Suzanne was amazing. She was friendly and had great recommendations. The food was awesome. Well worth our hour drive 😊”

“We arrived for lunch and seated promptly despite a full dining room. Food came quickly and everything was very delicious! I’ve eaten here several times and always have a great experience!”
