We opened Hen of the Wood in October 2005. For myself, it was the opportunity to put together a restaurant that would be the culmination of everything I had casually discussed for several years; a warm inviting atmosphere, a historic and visually appealing setting, seamless service and most importantly outstanding wine and beautiful food. For our team and our guests, it would be the beginning of a commitment to the amazing farmers, cheese makers, and others who make Vermont so special.
At Hen of the Wood, the food is simple, uncomplicated and down-to-earth. The uniqueness of our dishes comes from the depth of flavor found in each ingredient. We create menus based on the wealth of premium ingredients found only miles from the restaurant in the lush Green Mountains and Champlain Valley.
Our goal is to provide a true Vermont dining experience and showcase the regions most vibrant foods.
We look forward to seeing you!
