CASUAL DINING RESTAURANTS IN VERMONT'S NORTHEAST KINGDOM
Vermont's Northeast Kingdom is home to a variety restaurants that are perfectly casual for the visitor who wants a relaxing and delicious meal. We invite you to try one of the country diners, village cafes or family restaurants you'll find nestled along our main streets or country lanes. The Kingdom also offeres a variety of other dining options - not necessarily restaurants - for those who are seeking a traditional taste of the Kingdom and want to enjoy a little local color. Why not partake in some real home cooking by attending a church supper, hunters' breakfast, or local bake sale?
