The Vermont Experience at Tourterelle
Nestled between the Adirondack and Green Mountain ranges just outside of Middlebury, Vermont, Tourterelle’s hilltop location bespeaks beauty. The elegant interior with rich hues of sage and brick compliments the food, alive with flavor, yet quiet in preparation, allowing the nuances of the local Vermont flavors to shine through.
Whether celebrating a wedding in the renovated, rustic barn on our countryside property, enjoying a three-course meal in one of our four dining rooms, or dropping by for a quick bite at the bar, the beauty of simplicity is our focus. Warm service, succulent dishes, and a cozy interior create the ultimate experience for locals and visitors alike.
The dinner we had last night at Tourterelle was fantastic! The restaurant is beautifully remodeled, the service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a wide variety of the menu at our table and everyone LOVED their meal. The escargot was a big highlight and the Tourterelle salad of arugula,pecans, artichokes, and cranberries was a beautiful start to the meal. I had the Bouillabaisse and would order it again in a heartbeat. I just wish I had more room to try to so many of the other dishes on the menu; it just means we will have to go back again- soon! The menu is very reasonably priced, Christine and Bill are very welcoming and warm and this is a gem of a restaurant that you should not miss.
