Kismet

Locally sourced New American cuisine & craft cocktails presented in casually elegant surrounds.

"WHAT: An intimate, low-lit dinner spot steps from the state capital; forged tight farm partnerships and pursued plant-based cooking before such things were cool. 

WHY: Crystal Madiera has been a pioneer in the world of produce-centric cookery, dreaming up vegetable-fueled — if not wholly vegetarian — meals at her tiny State Street restaurant for a decade. Today, Kismet is still where in-the-know Vermonters go for paper-thin beef — or root vegetable — carpaccio, and for plates of roasted beets scattered with smoky lentils, powdered hazelnuts, and a shock of labneh. Come winter, it’s the only place in town to get savory bread puddings awash in steaming bone broth." [Eater]
