Brix Bistro

$$

Tucked away in Rutland Plaza, this small, casual wine bar serves up locally inspired bistro fare featuring artisan cheeses, charcuterie, seasonal specials, and rotating pastas. There is a nice selection of house cocktails and Vermont beers to choose from, yet the true draw here is the global wine list, a thoughtful selection with about two dozen by-the-glass offerings.

Roots

$$

Since opening in 2011, chef--owner Donald Billings has created a locavore restaurant driven by ingredients made within miles of the dining room. Humanely raised livestock and Vermont-grown produce is the inspiration behind menu favorites like laden cheese boards, braised pork belly, and homemade Parker House rolls served warm with Vermont butter. Save room for dessert, including the daily-changing crème brûlée.
