Eat 'n Sleep in Burlington :: Trattoria Delia and Lang House

August 23, 2007 at 4:00 PM | by jnaw | 0 Comments

Our Eat 'n Sleep feature profiles a restaurant in a random city and a hotel nearby. It's kinda like that old show "Dinner and a Movie" but you know, with restaurant and hotels. And better jokes.

We love Vermont for its cheese, its beer and its hippie ski bums. But turns out it's a great place to go for summer hikes, too. That got us thinking that mountaineers heading out on the trails will be looking for a place to fill their bellies and rest their heads after a long day spent with Mother Nature. And as you'd expect, we know just the place for both.

Usually we think of hearty cooking and thick stews when it comes to those crazy outdoors folks. But it seems Burlington's main strip has added a touch of class with Trattoria Delia. The cozy Italian spot has some of our favorite Magic Hat brews on tap, and the dimly-lit atmosphere is perfect for a warm meal at the end of a long day. Offerings include Italian salads and bruschetta for appetizers, wood-fired pizzas and organic vegetable pastas and black angus beef. But don't let the white table cloths fool you. This is still Vermont, so hiking boots and backpacks are warmly welcome.

After a stroll through the shops on Saint Paul Street, it'll be time to tuck into bed at the Lang House on Main Street. This quaint B&B was built in 1881 and its Victorian design is classic New England. The 11 guest rooms come complete with their own private baths (each includes a hot tub or whirlpool to soothe aching muscles from a day on the trails). And gourmet breakfast is served each morning on the house's sun porch, in case you didn't get enough to eat the night before.
