Pangaea - North Bennington, Vermont

I ate in the coffee house. My meal (egg sandwich) was hot, delicious, well-presented, and it came out quickly. I love the atmosphere: relaxed, quit, friendly, creative. I will return.

We loved the place, the food and the service. We had a boar filled pastry and the lamb rack which were both delicious and fresh! The staff was great and the chef also gave us some treats (tomato soup, Vietnamese salad roll, cheese topped with jam). Absolutely recommended!

Service was amazing though. They were very nice and the staff was very hospitable and attentive.

Food was bland. We ordered Linguini with Meatballs. The meatball was overcooked. The pasta was decent. The salmon was also decent however the rice was bland and unseasoned. Everything else was not up to par. We ordered Spicy Thai Noodles which was also bland and the shrimp tasted a bit off. Nachos were good but the cheese sauce tasted like there was a lot of flour in it. The fries were good. Cocktails and drinks were good too.

By far, the best fine dining in the Bennington area! Pangaea is the perfect place for a celebration, or for a romantic dinner ❤️ Locally sourced ingredients and a terrific chef! The prices are what you would expect for a fine dining experience. We love it, and would definitely recommend!

Pangaea is probably my favorite restaurant. I love sitting on the deck on summer nights and looking out over the pond. It's a divine experience and so is their food. I'd recommend something, but it feels like it would be an insult to the rest of the menu.

Pangaea is a black tie, fine dining affair but without the black tie. Everything from the cocktails thru the entrees to the desserts are carefully crafted, expertly prepared but still have a fun and casual vibe to them.

The menu changes seasonally, has a select number of curated choices but lacks any type of theme, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it's a bit strange to see a burrito and nachos next to pasta bolognese. The same limited choice applies to the wine list but, again, the selections available should satisfy most diners.

The traditional decor is adorned with artwork on display, and the staff are attentive, inviting and complete the experience.

This is a review of the dinner side of this restaurant- there is a breakfast/coffee shop next door that I have enjoyed as well! I wasn't expecting such a great dinner in such a small town! After moving here with my family and newborn we met friends for dinner. While I don't recommend bringing your 3 month old to dinner 😂, We didn't have much of an option Since we didn't know anyone in the area yet to baby sit. The staff here was incredibly accommodating and kind, and I was surprised to find one of the best cocktails I had had in a little while (very important to me since it was my first in about a year!) we had A delicious appetizer before my husband and I had to make a swift exit due to a screaming babe. The restaurant shifted us easily to a to go situation and we ate our delicious meals at home! The flavors were unique, and the quality was excellent.

Delicious meal. I made the best choices of our group. Fig and ricotta ravioli and veggie "strudel" (think lasagna made with puff pastry) were fabulous. Setting is quaint old building on tiny square in old town. Pleasant young servers were very helpful. Excellent cocktails as well. I would happily return to this place.
