| We like to describe kismet as something that is meant to be, but most specifically, it is good Karma returned. Just as sap comes in the early spring like a reward to the patient Vermonter, Kismet is the gift given in response to hard work and good intention. We like to describe our food as intentionally delicious, or Kismet, because of all that is put into our ingredients. In support of small farmers and food producers, we have sourced the best ingredients as local as possible: our salt is hand harvested in Maine, our crepes and baked goods are made from local flours, and our Vermont dairy and meats are hormone free. We use vegetables, beans, rice, sugar, meats, cheeses, spices and herbs that we can trace back to farms. In addition, we offer gluten free specialties made by Vermont bakers, and butter we make ourselves from local cream. We've sourced beautiful organic chocolate from South America, so even the more exotic items on our menu (like truffles, specialty chocolate bars and hot chocolates)are linked to individual and family farms and are a sure pleasure for all who dine at kismet.
At kismet, we believe that through our intimate relationships with local farmers, individual customers and clients, our staff, and our neighbors, we are able to feed ourselves with the abundance that surrounds us. We use food as our medium, like artists, musicians, or healers, to keep us engaged and connected to our vision.
Using as much local food as we can, sourcing all of our other ingredients, and making as much as we can from scratch (like butter, ketchup, mustard, and kombucha), we have the ability to control and maintain the quality and intimacy of the food we are serving.
Sure, it's just food- but we're sure that its good food,
and it sure does feel good making it.
Come try our
breakfast and brunch specials like traditional crepes made with local flour, huevos rancheros and roasted root home fries, or stop in for a special treat. We believe that these simple artisan foods will nourish you to your greatest self.
