Best option for fast take out! My favorite is the Vietnamese Crepe (I order it without pork) the rolls are good, can’t go wrong w the Pho, my Dad likes the green papaya salad- also the Boba Tea is uniquely blended and comes in many flavors- I order the Thai iced tea add Boba.

Best pizza in town- wood fired and sourdough crust- fresh high quality ingredients won’t give you a tummy ache like some of the other options in town. It’s on the $$$ side but- compared to the other option (positive pie) the few extra dollars are worth it! Salad is delicious too!

farm to table with relaxed casual atmosphere (dress up or down) high quality, fresh ingredients- something for everyone (vegan-vegetarian-omnivore-carnivore) recently I’ve noticed most menu options lean a bit on the buttery/fat/cheese/fried end of cooking - check their website for current menu posting before you go.

This is not in Montpelier but if you have to have Chinese or Japanese food this is worth the 10 min drive to Barre. Large menu decent quality- I recommend trying their drinks too! Nice bar and dining room although I always bring it back home. Please do not order the Chinese food in Montpelier… you’ll be disappointed and possibly unwell.
