The best American restaurants Burlington

A marine atmosphere for this restaurant, as much on the menu as in the grey-blue setting enhanced by a little red to brighten it up. The result is rather chic. Chefs Douglas Paine and Christopher Lataille let their inspiration sail with the tides and revisit the great classics of the coast: crab cakes, Maine lobster in bouillabaisse, fish & chips, swordfish "ratatouille"... Meat lovers are not left out with a copious duck confit. Nice wine list, with some good French bottles. It is rather successful.

Welcome to the Burlington Dinner Temple. The establishment, open since 1925, has been run by the same family since the 1960s. The decor hasn't changed in a long time and the yellow skai bar stools or the long blue bar plunge us into swirls of twist and ice cream so 50's. On the menu, only the classics - from hamburgers to homemade corned beef - can be enjoyed early in the morning or during a lunch break. Coffee is all you can drink, of course. Take a seat in a booth or along the bar, and let yourself be carried away by the atmosphere.

A hushed atmosphere and jazzy music for this restaurant that puts meat in the spotlight. Cooked over a wood fire, meat lovers are in for a treat. The menus change every day, and are based on top-of-the-range products purchased from local suppliers. Nothing comes from far away, thanks to a network of producers, artisans, breeders, bakers, etc., united by a common ethic of respect for the environment and sustainable practices. Vegetarians will also find plenty to satiate their appetites. The selection of Vermont cheeses is well worth the detour.
