With big windows overlooking a bustling corner of the enchanting little village of White River Junction, just a stone's throw across the Connecticut River from New Hampshire, this high-ceilinged space hung with gorgeous imported rugs specializes in Turkish and Mediterranean cooking. Serving flavorful egg dishes, soups, sandwiches, and pastries for breakfast and lunch, Tuckerbox shifts into a romantic dinner destination in the evening, specializing in kebabs and casseroles.
Exceptional cuisine served in a relaxing, indoor-outdoor setting is a welcome surprise among the big-budget chains on Sand Lake Road. Servers at this independently owned neighborhood favorite bring to the table piping-hot, oversize lavas (hollow bread) to dip in appetizers such as a hummus, ezme (a zesty, garlicky, chilled chopped salad), and baba ghanoush. Many twosomes make a meal of the bountiful mixed-appetizer platter with a lavas or two. Following are oversize platters of char-grilled whole or filleted sea bass, kebabs, and lamb dishes, each prepared expertly. Light eaters enjoy the boat-shape spinach-and-cheese Turkish pastry. Other locations are in Winter Park, Lake Nona, and Winter Garden.
Traditional güveç pots aren't the only elaborate housewares at this Turkish restaurant, which consists of tables in the middle of a high-end antique showroom. The wood-fired oven yields masterful results—and piping hot pide (a flatbread)—making this a great place for lunch or a satisfying dinner.
The classics of Turkish cuisine are served with surprising authenticity and maximum deliciousness thanks to the culinary talents of its Istanbul-raised owners, plus locally sourced produce and meats. The open terrace upstairs offers the only rooftop dining in Burlington.
A fixture in the neighborhood dining scene, this authentic Turkish restaurant and wine bar with a patio serves dishes such as doner kebabs, manti, and dolmas. If cocktails are more your thing, take advantage of the mojito bar, offering a wide selection of the drink in flavors like watermelon and blueberry.
