I had a really enjoyable experience at Deep City. My server, Alex, was friendly and attentive. I started with a beer and the Vegan Poutine, both of which were very tasty! I moved on to the Roasted Beets, which reminded me of steak with a rich, smokiness that was well complimented by the pistachio cheese. I would definitely eat here again!
I was there for the brunch and I must say it was one of the best I've had in a while. I had the Huevos Rancheros...so delicious! Creative plates, reasonable portions/ prices, tasteful. You have to try the homies (lil' potatoes)!!The place is next to the Foam Brewery and they have their beers on tab (one of the best brewery around), which is great. The service was A1, and the place and the patio are really nice! Highly recommend. Lot of parking space.
I was recommended to dine here by a friend who added that FOAM brewery next door is the best in state! The menu is small so I expect each item to be on point. Their decadent take on poutine was amazing, with hunks of short rib in the gravy and a whipped pimento cheese. The chicken burger and beef burger was completely forgettable. I was hoping the wood fired beets would be showcasing the locally sourced organic beets but maybe it just isn’t the year for beets, as they were watery and flavourless though cooked and dressed well. The service was excellent and their indoor/outdoor spaces were very welcoming.
The place was on a few lists we checked, and got an average 4.7 rating, so the expectation was naturally high. However given the flakiness of the reviews sometimes, and it being affiliated with a brewery, I also tried to condition myself not expect too much. Well, it's safe to say that I did not expect to be this impressed.We ordered multiple light vegan dishes, partly because we weren't hungry (constant problem with being on vacation). All of them were excellent. Calabaza (roasted squash) has just the right amount of tenderness and perfectly matched in flavor with the pureed black beans. The sauteed sugar snap peas were fresh and brightly flavored just enough to highlight the natural sweetness. The roasted beets did not disappoint either, offering a comforting and yet complex taste profile. I had not been a regular vegan diner and was not hungry going in, which made it even more pleasantly surprising how much I enjoyed.My daughter also liked her chicken fried chicken (sandwich), but said she would still prefer a poutine classique to Deep City's version, which has whipped cheese sauce instead of cheese curds. I on the other hand thought the poutine is more fun with the sauce, pickled chilly pepper, and braised pork, a more savory and playfully interpretation of the classic.By the time our server Marie asked about dessert, I felt that I should stop but wonder how good their desserts could be, so I went ahead with the white chocolate pudding. I was very glad I did - the lovely sweetness of the pudding was accentuated by the subtle bitterness from the candied grapefruit.Overall it's a wonderful dinner! The 2 draft beers we had (She Doesn't Need U/IPA, and a fruit sour) from Foam Brewery also added to the excellence. The only small flaw I could find was with a couple pea pods, which were on the stringy side.Last but not least, the prices at Deep City are quite affordable, given its sophistication. There are restaurants charge significantly more in the area that can't offer nearly as impressive quality. So, if you visit Burlington downtown/waterfront, you'll do well by adding Deep City to your list of must-visits!
All the food was excellent, but the beets appetizer and mac and cheese main really stood out!
Ended up here on a pit stop from Montreal to NYC, only had a drink and some fries. Staff was very friendly and the space is open, airy, and clean with a great view. Loved it!
This was one of the best restaurants we went to while visiting Vermont. The “Chicken Fried Chicken” sandwich was seriously the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Every other dish we ordered was great too. We ate dinner here three times over the course of a month. Try this place and then watch the sunset at Lake Champlain across the street after dinner.
If I could give 6 stars, I would! They have such a great selection of food and drinks, even better, their atmosphere is outstanding. As a non - dairy eater, I can confirm that their cashew cheese alternative is the best I’ve ever found and brings me back time and time again. Their prices may seem a little on the high side for some, but they are worth every penny for the quality of service and local food you’ll receive.
Really a GREAT little place. It is what Burlington is all about. The bartender at our hotel recommended we check it out and we had a great experience!!! I would highly recommend the poutine & fried chix sandwich. Also my GF is a vegetarian and she had the curry stew , she absolutely loved it. Food and drinks were amazing really recommended this restaurant to anyone and everyone!
Not impressed! Service was terrible. Three if us had dinner last night. One meal was very good, one was so so, I had the steak and had to send it back because it was tough and cooked wrong.
