3 Best Restaurants in Northern Vermont, Vermont

Philo Ridge Farm & Market

$$$$

A leader in regenerative agriculture, two of the 400 acres of this diversified farm are dedicated to organic vegetable, flower, herb, and fruit production, which is then channeled into the market's sandwiches, salads, prepared foods, and pantry goods. Farm-raised poultry, lamb, grass-fed beef, and heritage pork are the stars of the kitchen's elegant prix-fixe dinner menu, which changes seasonally. Cozy up near the fireplace in the great room, or dine on the outdoor patio in warmer months to take in the view.

Rustic Roots

$$
Scuffed wood floors and chunky country tables bring the "rustic" at this converted farmhouse—but not too much. An intimate bar and maroon walls adorned with woodcrafts and art add a touch of elegance, and the French-inspired food is carefully prepared. The brunch is deservedly popular, especially for the warm house-made popovers served with herb butter.
