The Salt Bistro restaurant in St. Johnsbury, Vt is one that has worked hard to find a place within its community through an incredibly difficult year – and it seems to have succeeded!

Salt moved to its St. Johnsbury location not long before the pandemic began. This restaurant has managed to carve out a name for themselves through consistent takeout options, navigating regulations, offering delivery, outdoor dining through the warm months, reopening for indoor seating when the time was right, and sheer hard work and perseverance.

Valentine’s Day: Despite the Challenges, NEK Restaurants Are Still Getting Creative Read More »

Pros: Wonderful use of seasonng; Consistency; Family Friendly; Friendly Staff; Great Vibe; Plenty of Parking

Downside: Dinner service can be slow (they are still new with young servers)

This restaurant in Barton, Vt is a great example of simple food done well – exactly as downtown country food should be. Everything we have tried from this location has been well seasoned, and well proportioned. And while they are really just getting started, and have had to contend with Covid restrictions, this local eatery is hitting the ground running.

Thanksgiving 2020, NEK Style

IMPORTANT: Due to Covid 19, many restaurants that often offer in-house dining for the Holiday will be providing to-go meals. Please contact restaurants early and reserve your meal. For those that are still offering in-house service, reservations are required.

Thanksgiving may look different this year, but the food spread doesn’t have to!

We know that for many people, this year’s Thanksgiving may not be filled with the faces of loved ones, friends, and neighbors. As we all strive to keep our celebrations consisting of immediate family, that doesn’t mean we have to skimp on the food. In fact, traditional foods have a way of transending time and place, of helping to heal, of getting us through.
