17 Best Seafood Restaurants near South Burlington

“First time going to this place while visiting the Burlington area from London and let me say 10 STARS!!! Food was so authentic and real and that's coming from a londoner. Lady in the front was the sweetest and courteous person in Vermont serving up the best mushy peas and fish and chips I've eaten besides my mums ofc.Crispy and well battered fish, thick crunchy chips with fresh coleslaw making my mouth water thinking about it soooo yummy. I dream about this regularly actually every night.“

“HOW HAVE I NOT REVIEWED THIS PLACE YET.... this is our go to restaurant in general, not just go to for Thai, but it is so good we go to it by default. The lady behind the counter that does it all is so genuinely kind and makes the most incredible food consistently. We simply don't go anywhere else for Thai and we have tried everywhere else. Not to talk down on some of the more popular ones, but if this place had the same staff as the bigger places, she would be the top Thai restaurant in Vermont, hands down.“

“My mother and I went to the Upper Deck Pub during our stay in Burlington for the eclipse, and we were blown away by the service. Our waitress Julia was phenomenal, always checking in to make sure that we were satisfied, and the food was out of this world. The potato skins and nachos that we shared for our appetizers were the best that we have ever tasted, my burger and fries and her crab cakes were splendid, and the brownie sundae that we split for dessert was heavenly. The drinks were also fabulous, especially their eclipse specialty drink. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who lives within the Burlington area and for those traveling there.“

“My wife and I took off for a night away, and had dinner at Windjammers!It was fantastic! Gwen, our server, was on point! She was fantastic, polite, kind and very attentive.The food and drinks were just as on-point!Everything was great!When we visit the area again, we will definitely be back! And we will be sure to tell our friends!Erick and Tobatha Thibodeau“

“Phenomenal opportunity to get a great meal without supporting the big franchise box restaurants. You know the type, all brass and ferns. Come enjoy a meal where real locals congregate. Excellent variety and the cocktails are not to be missed!“

“I have been shopping at VT Meat and Seafood Market since they first opened. The selections are always fresh and plentiful. The employees are friendly and helpful. I have enjoyed seeing the business grow and prosper and am glad to be a part of their success.“

“Everything I have ever gotten from here has been ? Great portions and vegetarian options and easily one of the best delivery options around south Burlington/shelburne too. I usually go for the curry dishes because they have such good flavor here, but they have plenty of other options too. I like the Aloo Gobi Matar a lot, as well as the Samosa Chat, and the Dal Tadka soup slaps as well. Just got the tofu chili in my most recent order and it did not disappoint. If you are unfamiliar with ordering from places that do spicy foods, I recommend starting with mild because medium can be very spicy for some people. If you do like a little spice ask for in between mild and medium.“

“Crab dip special was fantastic, french onion soup was delicious, braised short rib was tasty. Portions were a little small for the price but the taste is worth the value. (We liked the chocolate mousse too!) Would reccomend! Service was friendly and fun!“

“Had a really great time here. Went for an anniversary and it was the perfect ambiance. Our server was very pleasant and nice. I ordered the arctic char and my partner ordered the market fish, and they both were delicious! We ordered the delicata squash and bread for appetizers and they were scrumptious! I was sad they were out of the clam chowder but will just have to go back another day! Would definitely recommend and I wish it wasn’t dark so I could have seen the stunning view of the water!“

“The pork lemongrass Bahn-mi Sandwich was very good. Vegetables were very fresh, pork was flavorful and the bread was great. Bigger than I expected. Could have a little more fillings to bread ratio but overall was very satisfied and would go back again. It was very clean and nice inside, no qualms with service.“

“This was our first time dining at Electra’s. There are few and far between restaurants located in Shelburne and this one set itself apart from most in the broader area. Keeping in line with Vermont food ways, the ingredients were sourced locally and called out on the menu. However, the menu was much more upscale than what we typically see and the prices were reasonable for what the dishes were. They were creative, appealed to a broad range of dietary needs, and the presentation was superb. I enjoyed the duck and was really taken aback by it. There were some instances in which it was clear the restaurant was still new and getting its footing but overall the service was attentive and well organized. Looking forward to coming again!“

“We had our first meal here as an engaged couple! Our server did a phenomenal job and made our special evening even more special with how kind she was. In fact everyone in the restaurant was so incredibly kind and helped us celebrate our engagement, which made the entire experience at Shanty on the Shore shine like the diamonds on my fiancée's ring. We had the lobster (lazy man style) with the mac and cheese, clam chowder, and Wild Maine and PEI oysters which were all amazing. The view of Lake Champlain was breathtaking, the food was spectacular, and being able to enjoy the whole experience with my fiancée made this the best experience ever. They also gave us a piece of the key lime pie on the house as a congratulations on our engagement. Honestly, if you are in Burlington and you don't have a meal here, you have done yourself a great disservice. This place is 10/10.“

“I’ve only had authentic Mexican food a handful of times, but can say that based on those experiences Casa Real is on target! Great flavor, not too spicy or salty, and enormous portion sizes. We had to wait about 30 mins for a table at 6pm on a Saturday, but the service from the minute we sat down until we left was spectacular. Highly recommend!“

“This is hands down the best seafood restaurant in Chittenden County. They have been around forever because they put out a great FRESH product. My friend was craving a lobster roll. I went with the fish N chips. She said the Lobster was fresh and excellent. I could tell because she ate the whole thing. My meal was very good as well. I highly recommend supporting this restaurant.“

“Super-fun experience at the culinary experience at the Essex Resort in Essex, VT. Our instructor, Denise, led us through the recipes and techniques to create a wonderful Vermont dinner that included roasted root vegetables, braised chicken (in dark beer and demi-glacé) with shallots and a variety of mushrooms, and a lovely kale salad. We were given the opportunity to decorate autumn themed sugar cookies as well as dip tiny apples into a luscious caramel coating. A small group of 9 students made the experience very intimate. Our meal was served with wine and fresh bread accompanied by an herbed compound butter. Denise was a perfect instructor and I would recommend the experience to anyone who loves to cook.“
