Hen of the Wood - Burlington

Lena Owens

Hen of the wood is an incredibly quality restaurant and has earned its solid reputation. Went there for a date night and while it’s definitely on the more expensive side, it’s worth it. I had the grilled broccoli entree and my boyfriend has the porchetta, we were wildly impressed. We also ordered two different cheese plates which never fail to delight. Drinks were great too. The ambience is really rustic but modern, and I felt super comfortable. Service was incredibly kind and attentive. Definitely a great place for a more special occasion!

We were invited to Hen of the Wood while we were in Burlington and I couldn’t have been happier with our experience. They have taken great care to cultivate a fine dining ambience that is not overcrowded or pretentious. The Farm To Table experience offered is one of the things we love most about the town of Burlington, Vermont. The food itself is delicious. We had a variety of cold seafood, steaks, vegetables and dessert - all were excellent. Do not skip dessert. Their olive oil lemon cake is SO GOOD. 🍋 I promise it’s worth all of the calories!

There were no reservations available, but two of us got a walk in right when they opened. There was already a line out the door in -20 degrees, but we were fortunate enough to sit in front of the chefs. We ordered a few different dishes. You could taste the intent in each bite. The endive and venison tartare were especially unique and delicious. The cocktails were also great, I had to get the one with mezcal and repasoado twice. The menu rotates, so I can't wait to be back.

Absolutely delectable food of the highest quality. If you have a chance, sit at the counter by the kitchen! You get to watch these masterful chefs creating your food and the fine touches that make all the difference. A bit pricey but SO WORTH IT. If you only have time to eat at one restaurant in Burlington, go here.
