Restaurants near Middlesex

“literally the best restaurant and bar in Montpelier actually is in Middlesex about 3 miles up interstate 89- between the music, the service, and the food are all indescribablly good in light of what you might expect from a local tavern or restaurant – the food is excellent prepared and very thoughtful in it preparation; i’ve been there three or four times, and I continue to walk away, thinking it’s the best Cape secret in Central, Vermont”

“What a gem of a spot! Easily the tastiest pizza in town! A higher price point than other places in town and worth every extra cent. The person who greeted and helped us was so welcoming and helpful. They also made a very tasty drink! we got our food to go, but ended up hanging out to play the Godzilla pinball machine in back. Woodbelly was incredibly inviting and has such great atmosphere, friendly hardworking staff, and absolutely amazing pizza!”

Tom (Educational Director) was absolutely brilliant in describing different coffee brewing techniques and learned about varietals of coffee. 10,000,000% recommend this place. Tom is a keeper!”

“Every time I've been, the menu has been almost entirely different and I've ordered a wide sampling from the menu. I've test to have a single bite of food that wasn't thoughtful, intentional, perfectly prepared, and delicious. The bar program is also fantastic, as is the service. I cannot recommend this spot highly enough!”

“Janina and her crew did an amazing job with our wedding cake and cupcakes! She was very professional and helpful with the whole process. And of course they were delicious and everyone only had great things to say! I’m excited to order more from Red Poppy in the future!”

“This is a beautiful spot by the winooski river, we ate on the outside porch with a view of the river, even saw a mother Robin feeding its young in a nest in the rafters. I had linguine pescatore which was delicious, my partner had scampi e cape sante also delicious but unfortunately both meals were light on the scallops hers had 1, also I have to wonder why some sort of bread wouldn’t be served with these dishes. I did mention to staff after and they offered to compensate which I turned down but was made sure I would be treated next time we’re in the area The staff here are great and service was quick, definitely a place to go”

“Amazing coffee and their scones are perfection! Definitely a great place to check out!”

“LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Always great service and delicious food!”

“Don’t sleep on Indian-Nepali Kitchen— best Indian food in Vermont! The dishes are packed with so much flavor, the portions are generous, and the owners are super friendly! We jump at the opportunity to stop in and try something new every time we are in Montpelier. On one of our visits, my partner wanted a beer, and the owner let him try an imported Indian ale from his own stock. So good! Grab take out, or even better drop in and get the full experience!!”

“A cozy intimate Vietnamese restaurant that I highly recommend. They have a number of interesting dishes with Thai twists like lemongrass beef vermicelli, chili stir fried wide noodle. Everything is very tasty and the staffs here are very nice.”

“Penzo makes the perfect pizza. The dough is baked just right and there are enough tasty menu options that we can have a different meal each time we go. They are super friendly and just want to make the world a better place through good food. I'd also add that their prices are below the curve. We miss you in Montpelier!!!”
