The Best Restaurants in Burlington, Vermont - Eater Boston
"The Burlington location of chef Eric Warnstedt’s acclaimed restaurant opened in 2013 next to the trendy Hotel Vermont, eight years after the original Waterbury location. Warnstedt is a seven-time James Beard Award nominee for best chef in the Northeast, and Hen of the Wood still impresses with a daily menu driven by the restaurant’s relationship with some of the state’s most beloved farmers, growers, cheesemakers, and brewers. Snag a seat at the chef’s counter, enjoy Jasper Hill Farm cheese and the restaurant’s eponymous mushroom toast, and watch as the team fires hunky rib-eye steaks. The bar is a destination of its own, offering locally sourced beer, wine, and an impressive list of craft cocktails. Book the Butcher Room for a private, multi-course chef’s-choice dinner served family-style for parties of 6 to 12." - Anna Darrow, Heather Platt
