Leunigs Bistro has been a Burlington institution since it opened in 1980. Located on the corner of Church and College Streets on the Marketplace, it invites all passers by to visit Burlington's own little Parisian Cafe. The decor and ambiance will make you think you're in Paris, and the food will make you think you've died and gone to heaven. A member of the Vermont Fresh Network, Leunigs chefs prepare the best of local ingredients with a worldly accent. Live jazz with dinner Tuesday, Wednesday. Lunch served Monday-Saturday, Dinner every night, and Brunch on Sunday. Great wines by the glass or bottle, full liquor service. Best people watching in town. Reservations accepted, but not necessary. Every meal served with the panache of Paris and the value of Vermont, right in the center of town.

    All was very good. Only complaint is that the empty glasses from our first round of drinks sat on the table until we ordered desert. Waters were not filled until desert as well.

    We waited for almost 20 minutes for a server to come over to our table. The French onion soup was flavorless -which hasn’t been our typical experience in previous trips. When the food came out it was like warm. Our server seemed a bit grumpy and the restaurant was absolutely freezing-granted it was a very cold evening.

    A great place to dine (as opposed to just eat)!! Tasty and well-presented food and cheerful, attentive but unobtrusive service.

    Our favorite place to dine in Burlington. The menu is creative and the food is fresh and very good. The wait staff (last night it was Morgan) is friendly and attentive, and the early dinner menu is a bargain. We always bring our guests to Leunig's, and they are impressed.
