We went for lunch and it was amazing. Super casual (order at the counter and get a # to bring to your table) but superb quality-- food and ambiance. The place is very beautiful-- rustic dining room with art, antique pottery and fresh floral arrangements. Pine cone wreaths. Wax dipped daffodil chains hanging from a beam. Great view out onto the pergola'd terrace and the pasture beyond. You have to get your cutlery from a tray but it's heavy flatware and there are cloth napkins as well as heavy paper ones. Food arrived on beautiful pottery plates and looked instagram-worthy, but the tastes! Simple preparations but sooo delicious. The red cabbage salad was studded with toasted hazelnuts and fresh tarragon, and was dressed with a subtly sweet and spicy vinaigrette. Great combination. Sorrel leaves added punch to a spinach salad with pepitas and buttermilk dressing. The goat cheese toast was creamy and decadent, topped with preserved cherry tomatoes and a very fresh salsa verde. We loved everything so much we browsed the market store and left with a bag of local goodies to elevate our meals at home. Loved the whole experience. read more

Utterly amazing farm/market/restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. We had dinner reservations but we got there early so we could look around. This is a very, very beautiful place with a wonderful market that we highly recommend. We walked around and saw the gardens, the flowers, and so much more. It is immaculate!!! The food is innovative, farm-to-table fresh -- and delicious. You do not want to miss this gorgeous place!!!!! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would, this place is awesome! We were touristing Burlington and went to this restaurant for dinner. Every dish from the tomato appetizer to the flan was expertly prepared and delicious. The view of the farm is spectacular and the market is yummy. If you are ever close to this place, you gotta go! read more

Beautiful scenic location, and charming store/restaurant in an old farmhouse! The service was polite, friendly, and knowledgeable, and the food was amazingly tasty! You must try the cottage pie! And be sure to have a cheddar chive scone to go with it! read more

Fresh farm to table. Amazing food. Casual setting. Limited menu but everything is great. Fresh meats and vegetables also for sale. The prices are on the high side but you get what you paid for. read more

We had such an exquisite experience at Philo Ridge Farm. This place is absolutely amazing!! Not only do they have breathtaking views while you dine outside, but the service was outstanding and the food was fantastic. We started with the dinner rolls, and these are a MUST! The bread was so warm, buttery, and flaky with just the right amount of sea salt sprinkled on top. For mains, I ordered the sausage and my partner had the roasted chicken breast. My dish was super tasty, and his chicken was SO juicy and bursting with flavour! You can really taste the freshness and high quality of every ingredient. For drinks my partner got a cider, which he really enjoyed, and my cocktail was bubbly, fruity, and beautiful! (I cannot remember the name atm, apologies.) All of the waitstaff was absolutely wonderful and super friendly and helpful. They made us feel warm and welcomed. As an added bonus, we got to the farm a bit early and were able to walk around freely. We got to see the beautiful rolling hills, gardens, and adorable animals. They also have great items and merchandise in their market by the entrance. I'm so glad we got to eat here during our July visit to VT from NYC. I know their restaurant is currently on pause, but I really hope they open again come spring/summer- we will definitely be coming back!! read more

I had the most amazing dinner!! From the food to the service everything was perfection. I started with the cucumber ricotta, then head the chicken and the ice cream. We also ordered the bread rolls which were spectacular. The radishes were ok. The best part of the meal was the charcoal ice cream with frozen chocolate and marshmallow!! read more

I could literally come to the market here every day. The pastries (handpies!, carrot cake!, molasses cake!), the to go chicken salad, omg the ham hock SOUP. The granola!! The eggs. The meat. I've had dinner at the restaurant & the food was very good. But honestly I like the market goods better! They have a whole frozen take & bake chicken pot pie that IS the holy grail of all pot pies. I've had many a pot pie, but this one taught me what a pot pie really should be. The double crust is PUFF PASTRY - which WILL ruin you for any other pot pie crust. The filling is so packed with chicken pieces (and not in cafeteria-style uniform cubes) that the delicious gravy doesn't rush out when you remove the first slice. There are some veg pieces, but the filling is mostly gravy & chicken. This is a full sized, $30 pot pie that you will never complain about paying for once you taste it. If you get here at the right time in the morning, the pastry case will have fresh handpies. Whatever the flavor - get one! They are all fantastic. The carrot cake slices are beauties, & they are delicious - the cream cheese frosting is lightly sweet. The granola! You'll wonder if it's cereal or a healthy dessert. It's full of dried blueberries! I love it with the Maple yogurt they sell. Together, it's an amazing breakfast OR dessert. They have high quality raw chicken, bacon, chicken livers or hearts, beef heart, sausages, bone broth, and eggs, as well as an assortment of nice produce and condiments, plus some beautiful gift items. If you're in the area, stop in, & say hi to the sheep across the street! read more

This farm to table restaurant is absolutely phenomenal! We had the tasting menu which included salad, soup, roasted chicken entree and dessert. We also had the beef carpaccio which was out of this world and rolls which were like eating delicious clouds, so light. The service was excellent, our waitress, Winnie, was very attentive and friendly. And then there was the view! We had an outside table but under a roof. It was a perfect night so we watched the sun set over the farm. We can't wait to go back! read more

Took a tour of the farm as part of farm week. It was excellent. Tad was very knowledgeable about the farm, vegetables, and animals. It was pretty short, but very informative. They seem to be an environmentally friendly farm, and pretty much passed my wife's "vegan" test. We didn't see any of the cows, but we saw pigs and chickens. They have a market where they sell all their own products. Great food choices, and some "general store" products (dry goods). Big room for eating and of course outside tables overlooking the farm. read more

Exceptional service at the window. We ordered the biscuit with egg and sausage, and a slice of the ham quiche, plus lemon ricotta cake. Phenomenal. The best food we've had in VT so far. We even went back today for the exact same thing (and also tried the zucchini bread) - and we normally prefer to explore and try different places when vacationing. Overall, a beautiful and peaceful environment, dog friendly, tables and chairs are spaced out appropriately, and the food is delicious. GO if you are on the fence. read more

Philo Ridge Farm - Carpaccio. - Farms Near Me - Charlotte, Vermont

We had lunch there today and there were positives and negatives. Sitting outside is very relaxing, beautiful scenery! But the insects, both flies and hornets were plentiful and annoying. Yes this is partly due to being outside but the table we sat at and the area where the dirty dishes are located (and there were three piles of them) was filthy, and this attracted part of the insects. Our food (heirloom tomato panini and tomato salad) were very good but the fries were overly salted. No one came to ask us how the food was and when I volunteered my comment on the fries to a staff member, she just blankly looked at us. I would recommend having lunch there but would caution re: the above. read more

Beautiful and delicious spot for lunch or a coffee. We stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon and were in awe of the quaint market and perfect little spot for a fun lunch. All lunch options are prepackaged but you can grab one and eat in the renovated barn dining room or outside in the covered patio overlooking the fields. The chicken salad "sandwich" and roasted chicken "salad" (slightly different variations!) were scrumptious and we topped it off with some local beers. We are trying to get back there for dinner! Can't wait! read more

Does this thing have a 6 star button? A+ service and food! One of the areas must go. We are so happy that we found this place. The food is preselected & you have 3 options for 1 app 1 entree 1 dessert. You can also pick some bonuses if you like (carpaccio is sublime to say the least). Plenty of wine selections. They grow their protein on property. Pretty special place! read more

One of the most exquisite experiences in Vermont. Gorgeous scenery, impressive working farm, delicious food, excellent service. This is what I dream of for "farm to table." Morning coffee and pastries through prix fixe dinner. I could come here every day. Heaven! read more

If you want to find a quaint farm to table restaurant with incredible views, amazing food, and even better service then make sure you check out Philo Ridge Farm.

All the food was very delicious and the wine paring they recommended was amazing. I will definitely be recommending this place to family and friends thinking of visiting Burlington and letting them know it is a must. read more

Philo Ridge Farm is not cheap, but it offers consistently good quality food and service on a beautiful location. It is also fun to walk around the grounds with kids: there are not only plenty of flowers and foods growing, but cows, sheep with a guard llama, some elusive pigs, and a pretty regular and lovable farm cat. read more

Amazing setting, food and service. A real farm to table restaurant. From the fresh baked rolls to dessert, everything was perfect. Can't wait to go back read more

Summer in Vermont is spectacular, Philo Ridge Farm's new outdoor upscale dining program brings together this atmosphere : think rolling meadows , distant pastures, while sitting under a reclaimed barn roof rebuilt with high end finishes. Young waitstaff were enthusiastic and happy to share the Farm's regenerative ag philosophy. The 3 course menu is outstanding, vegetables at the peak of freshness. On a late July evening the tomato tart tatin tasted like candy and several other tomato based dishes were the nod it's tomato season so go all in! Selections of beef, poultry and pork originate from animals raised on the Farm. Several vegetarian options were inventive and incredibly tasty. Imagine dining overlooking the farm from where your meal originated, food that doesn't travel far, is this well cared for with a flair for imaginative cooking...it's fabulous! read more

Biscuits in the north! Don't miss the breakfast sandwich at Philo Ridge Farm. It's a little bit of heaven, a light, fluffy egg soufflé on a biscuit that would rival most southern biscuits. read more

This was a great experience. Attentive servers, delicious food. It's just a very special place perched on a beautiful spot. Everything we tasted was delicious and, as the sun sank behind the mountains and the clouds turned pink, for a brief moment in time there, I was able to forget how horrible and terrible everything is and the world was, once again, a beautiful place. read more

We went for an evening meal recently and were surprised by how it had changed. They did not have all the items on the menu and had "Vermont shrimp" in a dish that were no bigger than a fingernail. The food came out very slow and the staff just wanted you to say how great everything was. While the atmosphere is lovely I think the food and service need work. read more

We were a party of 6 for dinner at 7.15pm on Thursday October 14th. We ordered the pre fixe dinner menu of $59 per head. We also ordered a bottle of wine, beer, 2 other non alcoholic drinks and an additional glass of wine. Only five of us had dessert. Yet we were overcharged for an additional glass of wine and and an additional dessert ( total overcharge of about $21, our total bill was over $600). We didn't catch this till we came back to our place. Very disappointed since this happened to us twice in one day ( lunch in Woodstock and dinner at Philo Ridge Farm). read more

One of the most spectacular meals I have ever had. If you don't like a prix fixe menu, then go somewhere else, but if you enjoy the chef showing off and you getting to experience an amazing selection as a result: GO HERE. It was delicious. The staff was well informed of the meal and gave excellent descriptions. The food was fresh and delicious and so worth every penny. Thank you! read more
