Restaurants in Montpelier

“Review to follow, I just typed an extensive review and one missed keystroke inexplicably deleted it. Damnit google. But until i decide to retype it, food meet high expectations, as did the staff. Great team, great food, and great drinks. Who cares about an oxford comma, I do.”

“Been eating here ever since they opened granted sometimes there is some inconsistency but other than that it’s one of my favorite spots in Montpellier.”

“Derrick is the most personable bartender in Montpelier and I’m SO HAPPY that Hugo’s brought back my wedge salad. Love the vibe here. Love the live music. What a gem💜”

“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!!!”

“great food and great customer service ❤️”

“Delicious food, made with fresh ingredients. The fact my cousin is the owner doesn't change my review.”

“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!”

“Friendly staff, great beer selection and prices.”

“The Thai food is particularly good. I was not a fan of the calamari, but there are many many other things on the menu that they specialize in that are worth getting. This is a great spot for dine in, or take out. Highly recommended if you like Thai!”

“Listen, I know it's a pho spot, and you won't be disappointed if you get Pho, but you need to order the Kim Special. It's the spicy beef and pork noodle soup with the addition of seafood. This thing during winter clears all sinuses, fills all tummies, and packs an ungodly amount of flavor.

The staff is also incredible here - during my visit, it was a team of two (Kim & Hien) serving more than 20 seats and doing so with a smile on their face.

Reservations recommended for groups of 5 or more though I saw them accommodate this on the spot.”

“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”

“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!!”

“Best coffee shop in Vermont. The staff is amazing and so helpful. We happily patronize Capitol Grounds weekly because of the quality coffee, chai tea lattes, and breakfast sandwiches.”

“Great staff and atmosphere.”

“Great location and friendly staff. And that Maple ice cream!!! 👍🏼”

“Amazing and delicious bakery! Friendly staff and a great place for a yummy snack!”

“I brought a bunch of students to this fine establishment on Monday evening and we were served by Theresa, who can banter with the best! She took excellent care of us. The apple pie with cheddar and the maple cream pie were legendary! All of the food was excellent, but the chicken parm was exceptional. Thank you, Wayside, for an uplifting evening and being stalwart in central Vermont!”

“We were compelled to visit while walking by based on the delicious aromas coming from the bakery. It is located inside an old home in Montpelier. So many choices. We had the cheese twist, with cream cheese and a hint of lemon. Amazing!”

“I love Vermont. Truly, its beauty is incredible, the brewpub’s fantastic and the restaurants fabulous Is it wrong that Bohemian Bakery is my favorite thing that I “found” since moving here? Annies pastries are AMAZING! I never had a Kouign Amman before here. O M G I’m an addict now.”

“The food tastes great and is a little expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. 10/10 for me”

“Greatest Chinese food west of Beijing”

“I was wanting to try something different. Total SUCCESS!! It was SO delicious. We will be back for more!!! Thank you for the amazing cake and wonderful service 🙂”

“They have baked goods from Sweet Alchemy and Butterfly Bakery, two of my favorite bakeries in the area! Drinks are probably tasty, not too sweetened. It is on the pricy side -- $15 for a masala chai latte with oat milk and an blueberry raspberry fruit bar, but a good place to stop by when I'm only visiting the area.”

“I have eaten there and it's been good food and good service however its the polar opposite for take out. The food present differently. it looks differently. it takes differentn the portions are way smaller. I usually can't make it through ther large Ceasar salad especially if I add a protein. it's presented well on a large plate. lots of grated cheese. I ordered the same tonight. I don't know what that was. It was nothing special, certainly not worth rhe price. not what their Salads are known. I could have gotten a better salad anywhere else very diisappointed ted for all that money you expect top notch food and that's wasn't it. plus I had to call back and complain. my son ordered a chicken bbque bacon sandwich with looked good and included fries however there were like 5 fries no joke. wtf. so we will be getting a voucher for free fries. I'm not sure what's happening back there. but these are basic elementary mistakes. I expect more from JMorgans. maybe the new owerns don't have the same heart as the previous owners did. I'm literally still hungry That will be rhe last time we get take out from JMorgans!”

“Provided they’re ordered extra crispy with extra salt these are the best fries north of I-89. And I only say north of I89 because I do my best never to go south of 89.

Excellent fast food style hamburger, good shakes, perfect fries”

“The staff are great, friendly and relaxed. I've never had anything wrong with my order. I look forward to the amazing hot sauce selection everytime, it keeps me coming back — as well as everything else.”

“We were in a bind when our lunch catering fell through at the last minute. Thankfully Noah at the Yellow Mustard Deli helped us out. They were able to cater to our needs and our group's dietary restrictions. Everyone enjoyed the sandwiches. Fairly priced. Would recommend.”

“Very nice dinning experience”

“I have loved this restaurant since I was a kid getting out of school and I still love it. I turn 51 this winter. I commonly go here for my birthday dinner with a friend or two. They have maintained quality service in Montpelier all of that time. They were able to accommodate us during Covid when no one else could. They remind me of The Royal Orchid in that way. They have earned being recognized as a quality Montpelier establishment in my opinion.”

“It's not as weird or divey as I hoped.

I'm not sure about the two big guys that closed up with matching beanies.

They were a bit aggressive in general, I don't know their actual affiliation.”

“Delicious food. Very friendly service. Who doesn't like pancakes? Can recommend the cheesy chicken pesto crepe- Fantastic!”
