The towns in Southeast Vermont have a lot (and I mean a LOT) of character. The variety of stylish…read morerestaurants with a culinary spin that dot the downtown districts add to the Vermont quintessential feel. And Wunderbar definitely is part of that local charm. On the Thursday night before Labor Day weekend, we made a reservation at Wunderbar in Bellows Falls. Upon arriving, we were seated quickly. Service was overall fantastic and we were super impressed with the cocktails and food, leaving happily satisfied and stuffed at the end. I can't think of anything we ordered that we didn't like, though, of course, there were some favorites: Alpine Negroni and Smoking Gun cocktail were delicious. We LOVED the Ahi Tuna Tostadas, Wunder Wings, and Roasted Carrots - and hands-down our favorite of the night was the Miso Mussels. We weren't sure we ordered enough between the 3 of us, but portions were overall done well and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience from start to finish. I truly can't wait to come back to Wunderbar the next time I'm visiting the area. (side note: the current full menu is difficult to find online - the "online ordering" menu from their website is limited)

Wunderbar is such a gem in Bellows Falls! The atmosphere is this perfect mix of cozy, artsy, and a…read morelittle bit unexpected--in the best way. It feels like the kind of spot you stumble into once and immediately decide you're coming back. I had the Marsala Fried Chicken and WOW. Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor--hands down one of the best fried chicken dishes I've had anywhere. The Marsala twist makes it unique and completely unforgettable. I also tried the Spicy Bazaar cocktail. and it was phenomenal. Balanced heat, bold flavor, and the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-conversation just to appreciate how good it is. The service was warm and genuine, the drinks were creative, and the whole experience felt like a special night out without being pretentious. Wunderbar absolutely lives up to its name. If you're anywhere near Bellows Falls, do yourself a favor and go. This place is a vibe.

My husband had the burger and I had a fish sandwich. Both were cooked to perfection. Also, the fries had a great seasoning. So good, ketchup wasn't needed.

We highly recommend the Hungry Diner!

We were bombarded with 2 pride flags when we pulled in the parking lot. One of which says "everyone's welcome here". Then we walked in the vestibule to be "welcomed" with some sort of pride ladder with notes of encouragement in it. The door has a bunch of stop signs on it saying to wait outside the door to be seated. The wait is quite awkward to say the least. Especially when no less than 4 waitresses make eye contact with you and don't bother to acknowledge your existence. Looking through the window like a puppy dog we could see that there were plenty of open seating. After waiting for an exorbitant amount of time being shunned, we decided to leave. It must be that this restaurant is no longer "welcoming" I a straight Christian couple. Too bad. It used to be a nice place..

The lunch menu also looked great. It took awhile to order but our drinks and our food came quickly.
