Mint – great restaurant experience

Chef Illyan at work

Mint Restaurant in the heart of Waitsfield’s Historic District offers the Mad River Valley a vegetarian alternative with a primary focus on natural, organic whole foods and ingredients. The restaurant opened in November 2009 and we at last had the opportunity of a free evening to try it out for ourselves, after getting rave reviews from our many guests who have dined there.

We concur with our guests: Mint is an experience not to be missed. The menu choices prepared by chef and co-owner Illyan are varied and interesting, and have an international flair. While vegetarians will recognize some of the choices, many are original creations and can be thoroughly enjoyed by diners more used to meat based entrees. The flavors are often surprising and delightful. Co-owner Savitri has integrated the amazing and varied tea selection from her former tea room across the laneway, and provides knowledgeable guidance to match teas with your meal. Also available are a small wine and beer list at reasonable prices.

Make it a point to visit Mint during your next stay at West Hill House. Open Wednesday to Sundays year round for dinner. Price for a 3-course dinner for 2 including a glass of wine each will be about $75.

Thanksgiving

Jerry Carving the Turkey

Every year West Hill House has welcomed guests over the Thanksgiving holiday and this year was no exception.

Gathered around our big dining room table, our guests joined with us and enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with turkey and all the trimmings. One of our guests was a professional meat cutter and volunteered to carve the turkey.

The evening was an enjoyable mix of good food, good company, and new friendships.

We also have a special dinner on Christmas Day and a Burns Supper on the Saturday closest to January 25th each year.
