curATE cafe

Beautiful spot now our favorite. The staff, food, ambience all were A+++ and our favorite spot to revisit now. We loved that the staff made our anniversary dinner so special with nice seating by the window with great view and the most amazing dinner. We were staying at a hotel close by but the food there was not great compared to CurATE. The price was reasonable considering the quality and service. The pork belly, scallops, fish and chips, mixed green salad and dessert- orange chocolate budino was our dinner picks and were absolutely delicious. The staff and the arts center where the restaurant is also absolutely A+ and I have posted few pictures to give you glimpse of it.

Simply the best if you want a truly unique experience in the Manchester area. Walk though their art exhibit and sit down for a lunch after. Food offerings of breakfast and lunch make this spot the perfect place tucked into the woods. Our waitress was kind and quick to deliver food and drinks. 10/10 The drinks were mixed to liking and unique in flavor profile and good garnishes 10/10 Some of the dishes were almost like a Food Network chef made them! Others, were simple and straightforward but delicious nonetheless! The salad with the quiche was a smidge over-dressed but great flavor.

This is a beautiful location with good service but the dinner was so disappointing. We ordered 3 small plat es and two entrees. All 5 elements missed the mark completely. The Bibb salad was underdressed, the crispy squash was fired Zucchini in a red sauce, the peach small plate was the biggest disappointment beacuse it was grilled peaches with ricotta and the peaches were hard and tasteless. Dinner was parpadelle and it was cold, sauce and veggies underdone and not flavorful and the seafood stew had fish that was overcooked with a sauce that was not good. The bill was 280$ and the value was not there. Cocktails were good and service ok but not happy with the kitchen and they said so. What???

I’m so sorry to tell you that the food did not live up to to $280 w tip tax 6 drinks for 3 people. Crispy squash was fried zucchini, and that might have been the best small plate because of the sauce . Roasted peaches were not ripe, quite hard. Sent it back and came out the same way. The fish stew entre was under seasoned and was really like warm fish, just blah for the cost. Parpadel pasta was cold, sauce not flavorable. Too much money for not great prep on simple, standard basic recipes

DELICIOUS. I came with my wife while in town for the horse show and it was the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Grilled peaches, mushroom flatbread, roasted chicken, carrot cake - all 10/10 perfect. Beautiful scenery too outside. Friendly service. This is a wonderful restaurant in every aspect! I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town.

World class cuisine- this is a hidden gem- if you have the opportunity to visit take it! There are no wrong choices here.

We loved dining at Curate! Service was friendly and professional, attentive but not intrusive. The food is fantastic, and they are kind enough to accommodate our special needs! We can’t wait to go back!

A really beautiful little café inside an art gallery on a gorgeous campus in Manchester VT. Food was delicious and innovative. Some construction going on when we were there but wasn't too much of an issue
