Restaurants in Montpelier

“Best, most authentic & fresh Thai food anywhere.”

“Sam went above and beyond for me and my boyfriend. He served us on Friday night after our car broke down and we came to stay and eat at the Montpelier Inn. Not only was Sam an awesome server and so fun to talk to, but he helped us get our car towed to the dealership. Saturday morning, he met us at the mechanic and bought us coffees and went with us to the dealership to make sure everything was squared away before leaving. I’ve never met someone go that above and beyond and out of his way to help a stranger (now friend). Everyone should go to Penzo and make sure you ask for Sam!!! Wonderful human being.”

“great food and great customer service ❤️”

“Went out for a small lunch in the chilly air and had a meal that just comforted my soul. The pho was flavorful, hot and portion was huge! Staff was attentive and kind and I had to buy merchandise to rep them when I got home!”

“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!!”

“A lovely cozy little corner of Montpellier. Superb drinks and pastries with friendly staff.

Parking: Free for all.

Kid-friendliness: Mostly adults reading or working on their computers.

Wheelchair accessibility: Up a set of stairs, so probably no accessible.”

“LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Always great service and delicious food!”

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

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

“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.”

“My husband and I ate there last night for our 20th anniversary. He can be very discerning when it comes to his steak and restaurants in general- but we both loved our dinner! Our server Bri was wonderful and we had a great experience- we’ll definitely be back!!”

“Fantastic tacos! High quality ingredients, friendly service that adds to the ambiance and atmosphere. This place puts Chipotle, Moe’s and other such establishments to shame.”

“Friendly and inviting spot for a beer and conversation. Speaking of beer: Tremendous selection of both local and popular brands, plus some obscure brews to try. Come down and visit”

“Intriguing art abounds in every corner of this bar and the plethora of disco balls encourages one to get their groove on. It’s a terrific venue for bands looking to reach an appreciative crowd of live music lovers. Service was friendly and excellent, willing to mix you a grandpa’s whisky sour with Squirt. Not your typical bar fare here with coq au vin over noodles and gumbo that was a standout.”

“My boyfriend and I went to have dinner at Royal Orchid last night, and we are so pleased with our experience. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was warm and comfortable. The food was simply delicious and very authentic. We’re vegan, and they assured us that they could make almost anything on the menu in a vegan version. It was a nice change from the usual bean burgers offered by many restaurants. Thank you again!”

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

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

“highly recommend! delicious food, great prices, generous portions and friendly staff.”

“This review is written by my daughter for the Good Citizens Challenge Vermont 2024.
Manghi's Bread, first of all has great food.
The highlight for me coming to manghis is their rolls,
these are delicous treats that they sell to kids for five cents!
The service is great when you go into their little shop, some one is ready to help you.
Over all I would give Manghis Bread five stars.

“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.”

“Had a great lunch today!!! Service was impeccable and the lunch was freaking amazing!!! The perfect place to stop after a chilly morning on motorcycles!!! Your South Jersey Perps will surely be back!!!!💕”

“What a gem of a spot! Easily the tastiest pizza in town! A higher price point than other places in town and worth every extra cent. The person who greeted and helped us was so welcoming and helpful. They also made a very tasty drink! we got our food to go, but ended up hanging out to play the Godzilla pinball machine in back. Woodbelly was incredibly inviting and has such great atmosphere, friendly hardworking staff, and absolutely amazing pizza!”

“Very accommodating our group of around 20 for my moms 100th birthday party”

“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”

“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💜”

“Ksherpa has the best biryani I've ever eaten, with generous chunks of tender, delicious lamb. The Tandoori chicken plate was HUGE and perfectly prepared. Naan, samosas, and papadum were all outstanding as well. Even the service was great. I can't wait for my next excuse to go to Montpelier so I can try their other dishes!”

“i loved buddy’s! there’s nothing remotely fancy or elevated there, but the smash-style burgers are transcendent, the fries are very good, the selection of retro-style sodas is satisfying, and the milkshakes are real, thick, beautiful shakes. the atmosphere is tidy and casual fast food. speaking of fast, my order took about three minutes. all of the staff were friendly and helpful. the playlist is amazing: upbeat selections from the 70s and 80s. i’m not sure what i was expecting in the big rambling old historic building, but it wasn’t a perfect slice of americana, which buddy’s is. it’s my new go-to in montpelier.”

“First visit since they opened again after the flood. I have travelled the country as a connoisseur of steak, and the 55 day dry aged ribeye was absolutely amazing! In the top 3 steaks I have had in my life, and better than the $250 wagyu ribeye at Emeril’s steakhouse in Vegas. Thick, perfectly cooked medium rare, a simple yet robust flavor profile of butter, salt, and aged beef. The tuna tartare appetizer was phenomenal. The Chicken and waffles with spicy bacon was out of this world. It’s good to know that J Morgan’s is worth every substantial penny”

“Finally got to visit Charlie O's...Wolfie was the kindest, Thank you for my celebratory Gin with cranberry & lime....perfect! My friends had a great time, lucky its my local bar. Glad they're open!!!”

“Very nice dinning experience”

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