Burlington by Food

Aside from the monumental amount of sightseeing we did on our little weekend jaunt to Burlington, Vermont we also ate some really tasty food! With so many places to choose from Burlington is a hidden gem among the restaurant world.

Our first stop was Sweetwaters for local brews and a bison burger. Right in the heart of the Church Street Marketplace, Sweetwaters was also the perfect location for people watching.

For dinner we once again headed to Church Street but this time we ate at the more refined, Church & Main.

Dinner was phenomenal, all of the plates were beautifully crafted and tasted even better than they looked. I started with the pear salad, followed by the 8 hour braised beef short ribs served over cheesy grits with a syrah jus.



For breakfast the following day my Dad was intent on crepes at the Skinny Pancake. We got there super early, 8 AM! in order to beat the crowd! I had an Early Riser with egg, cheese & bacon while the future hubs had the Crepadilla, a massive crepe version of the mexican fav. I wish I'd snapped a pic of his!

Our final foodie stop was lunch at American Flatbread which aside from one salad on the menu serves only pizza. We dug into the Medicine Wheel (a classic cheese pie) and the New Vemont Sausage pie. Both were delicious but since I just can't wrap my head around sauce-less pizza I preferred the classic cheese version.

Making Burlington even more charming is the fact that many of Burlington's restaurants use local ingredients. Most of the

Restaurateurs get their produce, meats and cheeses from local farms & dairy companies, a fact proudly displayed in almost every place we dined. They also carry quite the selection of local brews keeping every inch of the menu close to home.

On the dessert front since Vermont is known for their maple syrup we indulged in a soft serve raspberry & maple swirl at the train stop for the Champlain Valley Flyer part of Vermont's scenic Green Mountain Railroad.

If you're ever heading to the Burlington, VT area I highly recommend having a bite to eart at some of these places!
