2 Best Restaurants in Northern Vermont, Vermont

Swiss-born chef Michael Kloeti trained in Europe and New York City before opening this establishment in a 19th-century farmhouse outside Stowe. Under new ownership since fall 2023, the elegant menu still blends European cuisine with farm-to-table earthiness, exemplified by dishes such as housemade vegetable gnocchi and venison navarin (ragout).

Vermont may be landlocked, but regionally sourced seafood fills the menu at this upscale farm-to-table restaurant in the state capital; the raw bar—think Cape Cod oysters and cold-smoked scallop crudo—is a particular draw. Large plates include grilled Wagyu steaks and pan-seared diver scallops with pork belly.
