    Tres golpes, platain benefict, café con dulce de leche, guava and cheese empanada. (Special- chicken and waffles empanada with gravy)
    Marcela B.

    Finding an authentic Dominican restaurant in the mountains of Vermont was not what I was expecting. Delicious food that is well seasoned and is a beautiful reminder of how delicious Caribbean food is. The Tres Golpes was incredible. So well seasoned and great portion. The Guava and Cheese Empanada as well as the Beef empanada were a highlight.

    Poutine and la bandera

    Fantastic!!!!! What amazing food!!! I cannot wait to come back. The poutine is a must try.

    Eggs Benedict w/ chicken and avocado salsa

    10/10! Cute spot, nice staff, absolutely delicious food. Got the eggs Benedict with chicken -- eggs were cooked perfectly, the hollandaise sauce was delicious and the plantain base was like a little potato pancake/latke. So good! My fiancé got the poutine and it was masssssive! He got two full meals out of. And yes, the desserts are definitely as good as they look. The dessert case is dangerous, but delicious!

    Tarts, burrito, plantain side order

    OMG. Absolutely busting! We ordered takeout, but upon going inside we saw that the restaurant is so well decorated and feels spacious as soon as you get inside. Def will be going back to eat in next time. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the veggie, panzerotti, and guava cheese empanadas, La bomba, and a burrito, along with several gorgeous pastries that we noticed upon arrival. The passion fruit tart is actually insane(ly good). WILL BE BACK!

    The food here was absolutely delicious. The flavors and quantity of food was ovwhelming, but perfect at the same time. The inside was nice and ambiance enjoyable, as well as, the service. I recommend sitting st the bar :)

    4 empanadas for the price of 3 (from restaurant website)

    Mindblowingly flavorful food from a take-out place in the ONE???!!?! Holy crow. The empanadas are superbly crispy with awesome filling and yummy side salsas. The maduros (fried sweet plantains) -- chef's kiss. The plantain stuffed with slow-cooked pork, rice, beans, pickled red onions, topped with three kinds of salsa transported me DIRECTLY TO HEAVEN, do not pass go, do not collect $200. And it's the first place we've found tamarind jarritos since moving to VT! INCREDIBLE, 10 out of 10 out of 10.

    Pescado Frito

    Cafe Mamajuana is a hidden restaurant in the north end that teleports you out of vermont. The menu is unique and well thought out- its no wonder they were nominated for a james beard award! I got the Pescado Frito (fried red snapper) after seeing that they finally had it back in stock and was thoroughly impressed. The fish was perfectly cooked, and tasted incredible. The staff were so friendly and happily chatted despite being busy, all in all i had a great experience. Cant wait to return and try some of their creative specials!

    A sister restaurant to Foam Brewers!…read more We spent a weekend in Burlington, VT visiting breweries, wine bars, a comedy show, eating, shopping and it was wonderful. Deep City was a recommendation for brunch from a local. It is the sister restaurant to Foam Brewers (right next door). When we walked in there was a small wait but not bad. We headed over to the brewery to grab coffee and to check it out. It is definitely a cool spot. They have a huge selection of beer, a small wine program (who knew) and small bites. Unfortunately they did not have TVs or else we would've come back to watch the football game but we did purchase some beer before heading back over for brunch at Deep City. The menu here is a little more Mexican-forward think Huevos Rancheros, but there was still plenty of items that looked appealing. We split the banana bread with maple walnut cream cheese (to die for) to share as an app which was fresh and delicious. I also ordered a fruit cup which was also good. We then shared their Huevos Verdes which is similar to Huevos Rancheros except it came with a tomatillo salsa. It was good but very sloppy to eat. Overall it was a great experience, and service was phenomenal. A great brunch place while visiting Burlington VT.

    I loved this spot! I was sad to see that Penny Cluse has closed since the last time we were in the…read morearea, but discovered that Deep City is some kind of new iteration, and I'm so glad we decided to stop in for brunch. First of all, they have a parking lot, which is free to park in, which was super convenient. The menu is interesting and everything sounded so good, including the daily features (duck hash, yum)! It made it super difficult to decide what to order, but we eventually settled on the biscuits and herb gravy, the across the pond, a side of the cheesy kale, the polenta breakfast dish, and the trout and eggs. Our server was super patient and kind and the food was amazing. I don't usually like biscuits and gravy that much, but their vegetarian gravy was so tasty. It reminded me a bit of broccoli cheddar soup in the best way, and the biscuits were flaky. I'd had the English breakfast plate at Penny Cluse before, and this one was even better. I loved the mushrooms and the sausage. The cornmeal crusted trout on the trout and eggs plate was crispy and not fishy at all, and the best trout I've ever tried. I loved that everything we ordered was so saucy since I'm a big sauce girl. This place is high on my list to revisit when I'm back in Burlington!
