When it comes to breakfast-- especially if you can get your kiester up before 11AM-- Edmund's Coffee Shop comes with my best recommendations. A simple stand located in the East Wing, Edmund's serves up breakfast sandwiches, yogurt parfaits, fresh fruit, bagels, muffins, and of course, coffee. The two women manning the coffee shop were exceedingly friendly, and remembered us the next day, asking us how our XC skiing went. I ordered a plain croissant and fresh fruit. While this probably cost my $6, the croissant was one of the better I've had in years with a lightly crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior. The fresh fruit was, well, very fresh and tasted great. Their coffee is quite good, as well. Jamie ordered a breakfast sandwich, promptly devoured, of course. My one complaint is that they're only open til 11AM-- even on weekends! I get it, most people are up and careening down the mountain well before then, but we late-risers need our coffee fix! I hope in future visits, either a) we're able to wake up and get down there earlier, or b) they extend their business hours at least til 1PM. I mean, who could say no to a croissant and coffee apres ski?!

This was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. The berries were freshly handpicked, the sauce made to order, the menu choices imaginative and, it turns out, delicious. The server was lovely, professional, thoughtful, excellent in every way. The grounds are absolutely impressive, beautifully maintained, and interesting with thoughtful landscaping filled with plants native to the area. I'm a vegetarian and I especially appreciated that there were really delicious choices for not only meat eaters, but also vegetarians. Classy, unfussy, quality gourmet food. Can't say enough good things about this wonderful restaurant.

A destination dining experience that quietly rivals Michelin-level restaurants…read more Some places are good. Some places are memorable. And then there are places that make you stop mid-bite and think, "How is this here?" The Dinner House is absolutely one of those places. Tucked into the most charming corner of Vermont, this restaurant feels like a discovery -- elegant without being pretentious, warm without being casual. During my stay, the dining room was packed every single night, with real waitlists and a steady buzz that confirmed what was already obvious: people know this place is special. The food is on another level. Thoughtful, refined, and deeply satisfying -- every dish is executed with precision and heart. It's the kind of cooking that feels effortlessly confident. Honestly? This is Michelin-consideration legit. The kind of restaurant you'd expect to read about in a city dining guide, not stumble upon in rural Vermont. Behind it all is a true culinary powerhouse: Steve, the chef, and Maria, the baker. Together, they are magic. The savory dishes are layered, balanced, and beautifully composed, while the baking is exceptional -- the kind that lingers in your memory long after the plate is cleared. Their collaboration elevates the entire experience. Sunday brunch deserves special mention -- indulgent, comforting, and flawless. Come hungry, expect to wait, and trust that it will be worth it. This isn't just a great local restaurant. It's a destination. If you care about food, hospitality, and experiences that feel rare and intentional, make the trip.

It was our first visit to the KTA/Burke, after picking our son up at UVM, for a weekend getaway. As…read moremountain bikers the local region is phenomenal. We heard of the Kingdom trails but didn't realize how much we'd love the area and all it has to offer. The Publick house is off the main street and near the trails/Mike's Tiki Bar. It's a cool old structure/barn that has a lot of charm if you appreciate the preserved nature of old places! There's plenty of parking nearby or in the Tiki bar lot. Bikers everywhere and the place was packed. We got lucky and were seated immediately around 7:30 on Saturday evening. We'd biked all day so we were starving and started things off with poutine. We also added on some burgers and mac n' cheese. It's bar food well done because everything was delicious. The poutine was massive and the 3 of us devoured that dish. My burger had some maple syrup and was unbelievable. Our waitress was phenomenal! Great vibe, great visit and reasonably priced - thank you Publick!

The beer menu is undoubtedly awesome even in a sea of awesome beer menus in northern VT. Given its proximity to hill farmstead, they get their share of beer connoisseurs here and no one walks away disappointed. Throw in the fact that they are kinda in the middle of nowhere and it seems impossible. Kudos to Parker pie for their beer procurement! The pizza this time was just OK. BBQ chicken had hardly any chicken but the crust was nice and crispy. My previous 3 visits felt like it wasn't quite as busy and the food came out better and hotter than this particular time. We went on a Thursday and it wasn't slamming but the back bar was pretty full and they had a parking attendant to help you get to a spot in the small lot. There was an open mic but no one stepped up while we were there. The back bar area is pretty tight. There is some outdoor seating as well. Everything was fairly clean and the staff were attentive and polite. In the end, I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars but am rounding up because the beer menu is so good. If you're in the area, it's definitely the place to be but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to go there since it's a bit off the beaten path.

Parker Pie was a really good dinner option on a Thursday evening in July 2026 when it was just…read morestarting to rain. It's about a 15-minute drive from the north shore of Lake Willoughby. You'll see a general store - Parker Pie is the red building on the back side. It has lots of pluses. First, we enjoyed the open-mic night with live music on Thursdays from 6pm-9pm. Second, the pizza was OK but the salads were superb (the blue cheese was from Jasper Hill Farm in Greensboro, VT). Third, Hill Farmstead beers are on tap (which were very high quality). On the minus side, the "back bar" area had limited seating (it was quite crowded). Service was OK. You must order first and pre-pay at the front (giving your name and seating location), then wait for the staff to bring your pizza and salad to you. Be sure to pack your patience - it can take a while for the food to arrive if it's crowded!
