Chef’s Table
As home to one of the country’s finest cooking schools, the New England Culinary Institute, Montpelier is an excellent place to stop for a meal. NECI runs three restaurants in town. Since this upstairs, upscale restaurant is run by second-year NECI students, the food is generally somewhat more accomplished than at the Main St Bar & Grill. Specials change nightly but you’ll usually find some variant of veal chops, lamb dishes and rosemary-seared swordfish.

Sarducci’s
If you don’t feel like tossing the dice and risking a meal made by students, head to this reliable standby. With tables overlooking the river (unfortunately reservations aren’t taken) in an old railroad station, its menu features Italian dishes like pastas, personalized wood-oven pizzas and eggplant parmigiana. The restaurant feels spacious and the lunch portions are very generous.
