My daughter and I drove down from Burlington. Excellent appetizers- scallop cakes, pumpkin chevre and entrees of salmon and brie/bacon chicken. Excellent, super flavors, best meal I've had in this area. I would offer olive oil for dipping bread and the flourless chocolate cake was not as chocolatey as I had hoped but the caramel sauce was excellent It's small, but cozy reminiscent of a Parisian café. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food and wine (Cote du Rhone very good). Get a reservation.

We went for dinner on a Friday night and they were slammed. The noise level is about ten decibels above comfortable, which isn’t my favorite thing. The food, however, is first-rate. We shared the Artisan salad, which they kindly split without an extra charge. It was delicious. We also shared the cheeseburger, which came with wonderfully seasoned fries and a chipotle aioli and a tiny side salad. The burger was done a little rarer than the medium we ordered, but it was very good. The food was so good, we returned the next night where we shared the Caesar salad and the mussels and a side order of those yummy fries. The timing was a little off and they brought everything at once. The salad was good, but not the best I’ve ever had and my croutons are better. The mussels were very good and there were a lot of them. This is a really good restaurant in a very quaint town.

Our Story:In the late nineties, a beautiful event planner from Brittany met a young, American chef from New York. Before long they married and their union produced first a daughter and then a culinary revolution in Brooklyn, New York. Locals flocked to Loulou, their first French bistro, as much for chef Bill's lusty cuisine, as Christine's gracious charm. Before long, Loulou beget Cocotte, another French eatery that drew crowds. Other chefs followed them, lining the streets near the Snells' restaurants with all manner of eateries.The couple turned their sights on a life-long dream: to own an inn and restaurant in Vermont. The Snells purchased the well-regarded Roland's Place in New Haven, Vermont in July 2009, changing its name to Tourterelle to reflect its romantic theme as a serene restaurant, inn, and venue for special occasions.

Have eaten here a number of times, and have always come away after a good meal in pleasant surroundings. This month was no exception. You have a choice of an inside room or a glassed in porch. Also have some special events outside. Typically good service.

Lunch sandwiches were liked by all except me. I ordered the grilled cheese and it wasn’t at all what I wanted- it was Mozzarella, tomato and spinach on focaccia bread- not toasted at all. I ate only a few bites—it was perfectly fine, just not what I was expecting or in the mood for. Others at the table loved their choices- Turkey with stuffing and cranberry and ham and cheese. You must place your order at the counter and it is delivered to your table. This seems to be a popular local spot.

Stopped in for lunch with another couple. We enjoyed hearty fare at a reasonable price. Options for lunch are extensive. Lots of pizza and sub choices along with several daily specials (homemade). Bristol is a quintessential small New England village that is worth spending time in which to wander. Several unique dining options, small shops, and a comfortable, safe atmosphere. Lots of hard-working people call this home and their pride shows. Enjoy a meal at Cubbers, and take your time to relax.

Our legendary restaurant has been enticing guests for over three decades. Since 1983 Chef-Owner Doug Mack has offered farm to table menus emphasizing all local products. Fresh food sourced from our own on-site farm as well as other small, local farms is the framework upon which our culinary magic is built.

We used to go every year for Easter Brunch. it was great as a "destination" and we gave it two stars as opposed to none because it is still a nice old farmhouse....but their "brunch buffet" was perhaps the most, quite honestly...disgusting... food we ever saw at a Buffet. there were scrambled eggs so hard with huge grey sections in it (still dont know why) I tried to pick around it for our 8 year old daughter. there was no menu, no usual brunch foods of eggs Benedict or pancakes...at all...two tiny rooms/tables with a handful of odd, old, food...baked beans from a can, with a layer hardened over the top, because it had been out so long. A few rolls, hard. there was lamb over cooked and then a bowlful of lettuce that looked straight out of the box from stop and shop. we were shocked. we got through it trying to save face for our kids...and then the bill came...$200 (no alcohol) for two adults and two children. Its hard, theres nothing you can do by the time you realize how bad it is...all we can do is warn others. There are many beautiful, wonderful places to go that are respectful of their customers, and have really great food...If you want a nice time out, save your money, and go somewhere else... this place has changed, and for the worst.

Decided to pull in here for an old-school roadside snack bar experience. They do hotdogs, foot-long hotdogs, corn dogs, hamburgers, Philly cheesesteaks, and all sorts of roadside food truck type food like french fries and onion rings and other stuff. We stopped for creemes and ended up also getting foot-longs which were really good. The creemes were very good as well though at $10 for 3 smalls, a bit more expensive than other places we've been.

My brother, a friend, and I stopped in for breakfast on Thursday. I had an omelet with homefries and toast and my brother had blueberry pancakes. There were a lot of blueberries in the 2 generous flapjacks and they came with enough syrup as well. My plate was not greasy which I like ..a lot. The omelet was a little flat, not raised, but it was tasty. The homefries were not overdone or mushy. I'D say OK. The toast looked home made but though it tasted OK, a couple of slices were completely dried out such that they were crumbly. The room walls and ceiling were entirely covered with embossed tin such as you'd find in a store from the 1920's. There were covers over the old flue pipes where potbellied stoves used to be installed. An interesting old room. The dining area was clean and laid out for a more modern time. I enjoyed myself as did my companions.
