16 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Montpelier

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

“Definitely worth the stop if you're someone who enjoys spirits and cocktails! We were hoping to have a few of the delicious sounding snacks from their food menu in addition to a tasting and some cocktails, but unfortunately we found when we arrived that only the retail section of the distillery was open. The employee (I wish I would have gotten her name!) was incredibly gracious when she learned we were on a road trip and pointed us in the direction of the restrooms and a seating area with an invitation to stay and relax for as long as we wished.

It turned out that one of their whiskies here was one that my husband had previously tasted somewhere else and was so impressed by it then he wrote a note in his phone to pursue purchasing it at a later time, so it was rather serendipitous that we stopped here!

I am absolutely not a gin fan and regularly ask that vodka be subbed for gin in cocktails, but the gin they make here turned out to be one of only two gins I've ever been amenable to in all of our years of distillery tours (I won't say how many years that is, but it's a lot!) This one has a bit of a smoother, sweeter profile to it instead of the usual suspect of pine tree that I decry and it was a pleasant surprise. I also enjoyed the vodka which I expect to be excellent as a stand alone martini with a citrus twist. Unfortunately we did not stay for cocktails as we had promised the kids food at this stop so we needed to find somewhere else to eat, but we did leave with several bottles to enjoy at home. My husband had a difficult time deciding on just one whiskey to purchase, so I'm sure we will be back at a later date in the future for him to buy the ones he didn't buy this first time around.“

“Absolutely wonderful service and amazing food. I ordered online for delivery and there was an accidental switch to my order and I got the wrong one, they didn’t hesitate to make it right and they even brought it to me at no extra charge. The food tasted incredible. Wonderful customer service and I’ll be back!“

“As the daughter and granddaughter of Vietnamese immigrants, it’s always been difficult to find good pho in rural Vermont, so you can imagine both my excitement and my trepidation to try Pho Capital when I was in Montpelier for work a couple weeks ago. Well, the food was un-pho-gettable! That beef noodle soup brought me right back to my grandma’s kitchen, and they even had crunchy chili oil to add in! All that was missing were some cha gio with fish sauce.“

“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“

“I had lunch with a friend yesterday and was very impressed. The Buddah bowl was delicious! I also tried Dandelion tea for the first time. It tasted surprisingly like coffee in a very good way. They have an great variety of other teas if you want to try something new. The atmosphere is relaxing and quiet. We sat in a cozy room in the back overlooking the Winooski river. I will definitely be returning!“

“It's easy to see why this is the one burger place in town! I don't think anyone else can compete.

Soft, fresh buns with delicious meat. Being new to VT, I had to go with the Vermont burger that has the maple BBQ. It was great!

The fries and tots are great as well, and my kid ordered a hot dog and it was HUGE.

The restaurant atmosphere fits the burger place well. Order in the front where there's a large fridge of canned and bottled drinks, and then pickup from a window in the seating area. There's a self-serve table in the seating area with ketchup, mustard, and maple BBQ (which is excellent on the fries) along with water and cups.“

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

“When the bartender shakes the tumbler in time to the music, you know you're in the right place!“

“I went a little over a week ago, and I was so impressed. I’ve never eaten here or had a drink, yet the staff was so welcoming and answered all of my questions. I ordered a few different things, a favorite being a margarita. I was very impressed with the food as well, possibly the best Mac and cheese in Vermont. Perfect experience!!“

“Wonderful owner and service, great food, phenomenal menu and great craft beer! Would highly recommend and we will be back soon!“

“Truly love to eat at this spot. I try to go on Friday because they have shrimp on the menu. Wish they served it all week! Love their Burritos and ingredients.“

“awesome food and service!“

“Great food. Would like to see a $10.00 "lunch special", posted on a sandwich board, along the road.“

“My sister and I drove from Texas to Vermont to enjoy autumn in New England. Our Vermont stay was here at Lazy Lions. Our site was magnificent. The campground was decorated for fall. The bathrooms were clean and everyone was friendly. I didn't need to use the showers since my Casita has one. I recommend Lazy Lions to anyone heading this way.

Nearby activities: Barre is centrally located so we could almost anywhere in Vermont for a day excursion.“
