The towns in Southeast Vermont have a lot (and I mean a LOT) of character. The variety of stylish…read morerestaurants with a culinary spin that dot the downtown districts add to the Vermont quintessential feel. And Wunderbar definitely is part of that local charm. On the Thursday night before Labor Day weekend, we made a reservation at Wunderbar in Bellows Falls. Upon arriving, we were seated quickly. Service was overall fantastic and we were super impressed with the cocktails and food, leaving happily satisfied and stuffed at the end. I can't think of anything we ordered that we didn't like, though, of course, there were some favorites: Alpine Negroni and Smoking Gun cocktail were delicious. We LOVED the Ahi Tuna Tostadas, Wunder Wings, and Roasted Carrots - and hands-down our favorite of the night was the Miso Mussels. We weren't sure we ordered enough between the 3 of us, but portions were overall done well and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience from start to finish. I truly can't wait to come back to Wunderbar the next time I'm visiting the area. (side note: the current full menu is difficult to find online - the "online ordering" menu from their website is limited)

It feels like the kind of spot you stumble into once and immediately decide you're coming back. I had the Marsala Fried Chicken and WOW.

I also tried the Spicy Bazaar cocktail. and it was phenomenal. Balanced heat, bold flavor, and the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-conversation just to appreciate how good it is. The service was warm and genuine, the drinks were creative, and the whole experience felt like a special night out without being pretentious. Wunderbar absolutely lives up to its name. If you're anywhere near Bellows Falls, do yourself a favor and go. This place is a vibe.

The café had a lively, welcoming vibe -- in fact, the only seat available was at a table already occupied by another guest, who graciously invited me to share. That small moment really set the tone. The hostess was amazing -- friendly, warm, and genuinely accommodating. I ordered the curry chicken salad wrap, which was absolutely delicious -- flavorful, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The pesto macaroni salad on the side was just as impressive. Before leaving, I picked up a ginger scone to go. Later that evening in my Burlington hotel, I made a cup of tea and enjoyed that scone -- and it was fantastic. Moist, flavorful, and the perfect end to a travel day. Moondog Café isn't just good food -- it's the kind of place that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. I would absolutely stop again.

And other folks who were eating seemed to be enjoying themselves. So maybe the lesson is: Don't order the tuna fish sandwich. It was borderline inedible. I had to ask for extra mayo as it was so dry. And the salad greens that accompanied the sandwich looked days old and had no dressing. Hopefully this was just a situation where I ordered the worst thing on the menu, but I'm not likely to return.

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to receive a Next Day Air delivery box of sinfully delicious goodies from a client. The assortment was large and the task was daunting, so after work I invited my sugar-holic staff in my office for a closed-door chocolate sampling session. Soon all 6 women had strong opinions. - We first tried the Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie, which has a great chocolate taste. The consistency is good- not too hard and not too soft. The cookie is large and heavy and big enough to share. It's a great treat for any choco-holic. - Next, was the Almond Butter Cookie, which after the chocolate cookie, tasted a little too plain but very good. It has a crisp and flaky-like consistency and we quickly discovered that cookie eaters fall into two categories- those that like crunchy, crisp cookies and those that like soft, moist ones. The almonds added great texture. - The Double Cream Cheese Brownie is more of a cake than a brownie. It wasn't a bad size- neither too thick nor too large. The brownie connoisseurs among us felt that it was moist and delicious. - The classic Chocolate Chip Cookie was next. It is very chunky and filled with chocolate. Some likened it to Soft Chips Ahoy. Our bellies were getting filled; Our comments were getting fewer, as we were zoning out on sugar highs. - Raspberry Crumb bars, sit on a shortbread crust and are topped with an oat and pecan-studded crumb topping. Delicious and addicting. - Belgium Chocolate Ganache Brownies were not a big hit with my staff, but perhaps their taste buds were getting dulled. Most felt it was too sweet and the texture was messy. - There certainly were enough cookie types to choose from. Milk Chocolate Butterscotch is a large cookie. My tasters preferred the smaller cookies, where you can choose your portions. This cookie has a rich butterscotch taste. - The Peanut Butter Chip Brownie was delicious. The consistency is nice and chewy, with a subtle peanut butter and chocolate flavor. - Last, but not least, was the Belgium Chocolate Chunk Brownie, which are delicious brownies made with butter, cocoa powder, and walnuts. The warm brownies are topped with a nice chocolate walnut icing. It is very sweet and by this time we all had a sugar rush. I was amazed 6 petite women could devour all that chocolate goodness. They said Chocolate makes them feel loved and special and tastes great as it melts in their mouths. Nuff said. Overall, a very nice gift to receive and/or give.
