Honey Road.

Located on a prominent corner of Church Street, Honey Road brings a sharp, Eastern Mediterranean focus to the Vermont dining scene. Led by chef Cara Tobin and Alison Gibson, the kitchen specializes in mezze-style small plates that draw heavily from Lebanese, Turkish, and Syrian traditions while sourcing nearly all produce and dairy from local farms. The menu avoids heavy fats, relying instead on a vibrant pantry of sumac, za’atar, and Maras chili to define its flavor profile. Expect a communal dining experience where wood-fired meats and seasonal vegetable dishes, such as harissa-charred carrots or baba ganoush, are shared under the glow of a signature pink neon sign. The atmosphere strikes a balance between a sophisticated tavern and a high-energy bistro, offering a polished yet accessible take on regional flavors that feels both global and distinctly rooted in New England.
