My wife and I took a trip to Burlington recently because we'd like to move there. With pubs like this and Ri Ra's (also in Portland, ME), I can see I'm going to enjoy this town. I recommend the Red Burly Irish Ale, apparently one of the Vermont Pub and Brewery's most popular brews. My wife (who rarely find a beer she likes) loved the raspberry ale. The bar indoors seemed cozy, but being that it was a beautiful summer evening, we sat outdoors on the patio. I enjoyed the alternative pub grub: i had an organic, locally-raised angus beer burger, and my wife had the Portabella Bird's Nest, which was quite the healthy comfort food. We also split the sweet potato fries, which I highly recommend as well. This was definitely not the last time we'll be stopping by here.
Pros: Beer, Food, Service, Great Prices
Cons: None!

Went here for one-year anniversary. Came at 5:00 for the early bird pre-fixe menu, which was great deal. Try the beef bourginon. Will definitely come back for second.
Pros: Pre-fixe menu, people-watching, atmosphere

Tortilla Flats is by far the best Mexican place around. The home made tortillas are great, as is every other dish. But by far the best thing is the margaritas!!! And be sure to try the Taco Salad.

New World Tortilla -- Burlington, Vermont
This is one of those word-of-mouth places that can only exist in a college town like Burlington. Sandwiched in between a nail salon and coffee house (how academic!) in a very inauspicious block just off Church Street is New World Tortilla. Now, although I've been there several times I always order the Chicken Club. Why would I get anything else? Its name says it all (both the sandwich née tortilla and the place): a huge tortilla in various and tantalizing flavors wrapped around chicken, slabs of bacon, lettuce, veggies, and a creamy sauce that if you drowned in it would (probably) not be a horrible experience. I have (once) gotten the shredded beef burrito, it was equally delicious, but it's no Chicken Club. The place is small, but there are tables and chairs and great window seating to look out on the edges of downtown. If I get something for take-out I can usually get out of New World for less than $6 or $7 without getting something to drink as well.

I grew up in this area. Whenever I go back to visit I try to get up here to eat. This is one of my favorite restaurants. Not only is the menu selection good but the food is wonderful. The restaurant is located right on the beautiful Lake Champlain.

I have been eating their food since they opened in 1989 at UVM and have yet to find better food anywhere in town. If you want healthy food at a reasonable price then Ahli Baba's is the place for you! They have the best Falafel I have ever had.
Pros: Fresh Ingredients, Quick Service, Reasonable Prices

Great Harvest Bread Company is a business that I write about with some reluctance. I love them so much, that I am afraid if word gets out about them, I won't be able to get near the place.
They are a business that represents themselves well. They bake a darned good loaf of bread and take care of their customers. It is a simple thing and their breads are one of my simple pleasures.
They bake a variety of bread, but some of my favorites are Honey Whole Wheat, Brownie Bread and Chocolate Babka. The Cinnamon Swirl is always a delectable choice as well. I go weekly and make my purchases. One loaf of the Honey Whole Wheat lasts about a week.
They have a calendar that they give out to patrons that shows the breads that will be made each month, and which breads will be available on specific days. I keep it on the fridge and scheme which bread will be coming home with me each week. The calendars aren't the only things that they give out. When you walk into the bakery you're cheerfully greeted and asked if you would like to try a free sample of their fresh bread. Imagine the surprise on a first timer's face when they are handed an entire slice of bread! I am not exaggerating on this, they cut a full slice for you to sample.
Prices are average for a large loaf of bakery fresh bread. About $4.00 for sandwich breads and slightly more for dessert type breads. It is worth every penny when you try that first slice (on them). They also give back to the community with charitable contributions earned from their "Baker for a Day" program. Which shows that they not only care about the bread they bake, but the people who will eat it.
