The food was fantastic. We ordered 2 different crepes but with buckwheat as one of us have celiacs. They took the allergy seriously which was much appreciated and the food was much better than we expected considering they were suing buckwheat as the alternative.
Will definitely be eating here again when we visit.
Loved that they are open a little late so when you’re in more of a breakfast for dinner mood they have options available.
A cozy spot with a farm-to-plate vibe, it’s perfect for a fun outing with delicious options and a welcoming atmosphere.

Wow! Amazing food, we got the tacos on the specials menu, and the corn tortillas were homemade and the best I’ve had. We also
Got chips, salsa, and queso which were very good, loved the homemade chips! And great margaritas as well! Highly recommend. Plus many gluten free options!
Nestled by the river, this cozy spot offers amazing vegan dishes in a chill atmosphere with outdoor seating and a great selection for everyone.

After our delightful first visit, my wife and I knew we had to come back to Istanbul Kebab House for a proper meal. Last week, we decided to turn our date night into something special with dinner at this Turkish gem followed by a Broadway musical, Newsies, at the Flynn Center. We made a reservation in advance, as this spot is quite popular in the evenings - especially when there's a play happening nearby.
The ambiance was inviting and warm, with soft lighting and traditional Turkish decor creating a perfect setting for a romantic evening. The service was exceptional, and our server, Alexandra B., made the experience even more memorable with his attentiveness and friendly demeanor.
We started with the Small Meze Platter ($16.99), an excellent choice for sharing. The platter featured haydari, hummus, babaganoush, Turkish salsa, and stuffed grape leaves, all served with soft lavash bread. For those seeking a gluten-free option, fresh-cut veggie sticks are available. Each dip and spread was bursting with flavor, making this a must-try appetizer.
For the main course, I chose from the Earthenware Casseroles and ordered the Lamb Guvec ($27.99). The tender, marinated lamb pieces combined with tomato, mushroom, onion, pepper, and eggplant were served sizzling hot, and the aroma alone was irresistible. It was hearty, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the recommended 9oz glass of Vinkara red wine ($16.50).
My wife selected the Chicken Adana Kebab ($22.99) from the Traditional Kebabs menu. The mildly spicy, hand-ground chicken seasoned with Turkish maraş pepper and parsley was grilled to perfection and served with Turkish rice pilav, a side of greens, house pickled red cabbage, and marinated onions. She enjoyed every bite and complemented her meal with a 9oz glass of Ancyra white wine ($16.50), which was light and refreshing.
To close the evening, we indulged in a classic Turkish dessert, Baklava ($9.99). The layers of fresh phyllo, walnuts, and crushed pistachios, finished with a simple syrup, were the perfect sweet ending to our meal.
Istanbul Kebab House continues to impress with its excellent food, cozy ambiance, and impeccable service. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a special occasion, this restaurant is a must-visit in Burlington. We’ll definitely be back again!
This cozy spot features a creative vegetarian menu in a charming atmosphere, perfect for food lovers seeking unique and delicious dishes.

We tried 6 different items and shared, family style. They were they were all phenomenal!! The smorgasbord of vegan & gluten free items were amazing! With many food sensitivities & allergies, I cannot often enjoy unique cuisine like a real “foodie” & we were all wowed by the creativity & ingenuity of Chef Paul. It was super busy, so Paul pulled up tables & made more space. We sat in the window & It was like being transported to Parkslope, Brooklyn in Burlington’s Old North End. Ending the night with a blueberry vegan creemee was the most delicious surprise!
Brunch lovers will adore this spot for its delicious variety and unique vegan options, making it a must-visit for all taste buds!

Love this place especially their brunch on Sunday! They have gluten free and vegan options which can be so hard to find! Their gluten free waffle is amazing as are all their breakfast sandwiches. Highly recommend checking them out whether you’re vegan, gluten free or a meat love. You won’t be disappointed!
A vibrant spot with a rotating menu and a great atmosphere, but expect some busy times and limited seating options.

Have been here several times, the menu does change somewhat for different events/ time of year, there’s a consistent offering that is always available so keep an eye out for those temporary offerings.
The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff has always been very friendly and welcoming no matter if it’s packed or slow. This place can become packed so wait times for seating and service can suffer but the staff tries their best to accommodate, they are always willing to answer any questions or address any concerns.
There are some limited gluten free accommodations.
Lots of cheap public parking nearby, assortment of on street/off street and garages- look for the big blue P signs if you’re not using your google maps.
Shout out to our server Oliva, that chocolate mousse was awesome, thanks again for the great service! 👏 👏 👏
Vibrant atmosphere with unique decor, a welcoming vibe, and fun touches like a bulletin board for sharing stories with friends.

This is a hidden treasure! The coffee and smoothies are amazing. I let them know I am celiac and they washed the container for the smoothie I ordered. It hit the spot! Additionally, they were honest with me about the potential of cross contamination (so I wouldn't get sick). I didn't order any food, but it looked delicious. Can't wait to go back!
A cozy spot with attentive service, famous for its delicious seafood offerings and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for a nice evening out.

The Gryphon is a GEM. Earlier in the day it is quiet, reliably open (this is special in VT), and attentively and knowledgeably staffed (you will adore Alex; his incredible experience is evident in how he tends to each guest).
The food is comforting and so impressively well executed, you'd think the chef should be on the Food Network. Who doesn't love an approachable and concise menu of items they know how to do well every time?!?!
The environment is a perfect balance of old world class meets comfortable open lounge with creatively delicious cocktails and staff committed to finding the perfect meal or drink even if an adjustment is going to help you enjoy the experience better based on your personal flavor/food/ingredient preferences.
My partner and I cannot eat gluten (not celiac) and are infinitely appreciative of a well done menu with GF options readily available.
I wish I had known about The Gryphon before living in downtown BTV because it would have been a worthy destination for a friend gathering, however, better late than never, and I am very thankful and fulfilled every time I visit!
