One of Woodstock's liveliest and most popular places to eat, this upscale pub and bistro remains buzzing through most evenings. The chalkboard on the wall lists the hearty menu of American comfort classics given farm-to-table twists, and the craft beer selection is excellent. You can dine at the bar, at a booth under the lofty, wood-beam ceilings in the dining room, or at a table outside on the patio.
Chef Chy Tuckerman was raised in Cambodia, Thailand, Oregon, and New Hampshire before moving to Woodstock in 1997 to continue learning the art of baking at the now-closed Mountain Creamery. A decade later, he opened his sunny, BYOB restaurant just off Route 4, where he fuses the Cambodian and Thai cooking of his heritage into mouthwatering dishes like ginger chicken stir-fry, Khmer curry soup, and traditional luk lok made with beef from nearby Cloudland Farm. Save room for dessert, such as silky mango custard and delicate cheesecake, to experience Chef Tuckerman's 20-plus years of baking knowledge.
The dining room in this 1796 brick farmhouse exudes 18th-century charm, but the food is decidedly 21st century. Former San Francisco restaurant chef--owner Will Dodson creates inventive three-course prix-fixe menus with international flavors, or more casual versions in the lounge, also on-site.
With the table literally on the farm, this restaurant delivers a unique farm-to-table experience that makes it worth the short drive from Woodstock. All ingredients for the seasonal prix-fixe menus come fresh from the farm or local growers, especially Cloudland's own pork, beef, chicken, and turkey.
This charming two-story café in the center of Woodstock sources most of its ingredients in state. It's the perfect stop for a Vermont maple latte with local dairy, produce-laden salads, and wraps or egg sandwiches worthy of a long line.
Modern French and American fare with a Vermont accent is the focus of this candle lighted Colonial restaurant off the town green, with three-course prix-fixe meals. A less expensive bistro menu is available in the lounge.
Arrive early for a seat at the wraparound bar and a perfectly made Negroni. The wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pizzas are excellent, as is the inventive cocktail list and the plentiful supply of local beers on draft.
This emporium of Vermont edibles has great sandwiches, cheeses, local beers, and delicious baked goods—perfect for a picnic or for lunch on the go.
