Rutland, VT -- Food options in the tiny state of Vermont run the gamut from junk (McD's) and garbage (anything with family dining in the title) to very good and occasionally truly great.
Our latest trip was spent in Rutland, located near Killington Mountain, and not generally known for its diverse and tasty food. (Stay away from the croissants at the Coffee Exchange downtown: we thought they were probably old, but additional problems were margarine instead of butter and inadequate folding/kneading.)
Anyway if you find yourself in this part of the Green Mountain State check out the following two places:
Little Harry's -- pretty much a landmark downtown today Little Harry's is the offshoot of Harry's restaurant located near Mount Holly. Great food, adequate winelist, very friendly staff. Ask for Jack the co-owner/bartender/manager -- he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet in Rutland.
Countryman's Pleasure -- located just across from the Best Western motel on the road out of Rutland up the mountain. The specialty here is Austrian cuisine. The food is pretty good as is the service. While the wine list is not bad, with a small selection of Alsatian and German wines, the prices are quite high, particularly by the glass: Seven, eight or ten dollars for a glass of wine is, I think, outrageous.
