Friends suggested the trip to the “Black Sheep Bistro” in Vergennes. We live in the Adirondack Mountains of New York state across Lake Champlain from the city. The new bridge had just opened so we thought it would be a nice ride. A nice ride is an understatement. The late afternoon light and spacious shades of green valley views with... More

The food is wonderful, the menu changes with the seasons but the French Fries are a constant that has me going back time and again. These are the real deal. The kind you find at a sidewalk cafe in Paris. They offer wonderful sauces for the fries but I don't think you need them! Black Sheep is on a busy... More

We dined at the Black Sheep after a long day of exploring southern and western Vermont. Our food was excellent and the service was, too. I would have liked some more bar options, but my Bombay Sapphire Martini went very well with my steak. We will be back. More

The Black Sheep Bistro is a regular eating place for us. Michel, the chef owner, is a character and a great chef. Appetizers, Entres, and Desserts, always rotating choices and focusing on seasonal and local grown vegatables, friuits, and meats. You might find rabbit or quail, venison or local Black Angus beef. There is always a vegetarian option. It is... More

Have only been for dinner, twice, not lunch, but the food preparation was superb both times. Usually I can skip dessert, but not here. Their extra little treat, which, quite frankly I could do without, is that they serve you delicious and hot french fries in a cone with dipping sauces. The bread is not great, but better than in...

Last minute decision - my spouse and I decided to have dinner at the Black Sheep Bistro. Luckily on a Thursday evening they had room for a drop in at 6:00 pm. Beware - if you are traveling from Burlington or any distance, call and make reservations or you might be disapointed. Service and food was excellent. We've eaten at... More

The wine service was unusual, in the fact they offered 3 tears on the pricing, and each tear was well represented in the mix, whites and reds. Service was well done, and informative. The food was outstanding, the balance of spice, done ness, and presentation fine. The "spuds" are huge and extremely tasty with the fries coming withe three dipping... More

This is an awesome little place. I was a little apprehensive because my husband is a little "meat and potatoes..nothin fancy" kind of guy and the menu is small. Everything sounded wonderful and I had to rely on our waiter to help me choose between a fish and chicken dish. I chose the chicken as he said it is their... More

I hate to be cold so the space heaters and tapestries that give this bistro its cozy atmosphere made my night. The food was excellent and filling: and the dessert we had to get to go was still delicious the next night! More
