SOUTHERN VERMONT is well known for fine cuisine and world-class service. What we believe is perhaps less obvious is just how much there is from which to choose. From casual to candlelit, quintessential New England to French and classic Italian, contemporary American to Thai and Japanese, farm to table, and après ski to tavern fare, there is something to please every palate. We invite you to explore and delight in the many options!
Good Taste: Dining! offers its readers high-quality content and its advertising partners key benefits.
