How to be a "Frugal Gourmet" in The Mad River Valley?
  1. If you purchase a Weathertop Getaway Package, a Weathertop Dining Package, or our Asian Dining Adventure....Congratulations! You will experience what we believe to be the best dining value for your dollar in The Mad River Valley. We prepare everything to order using only the freshest ingredients and, where feasible, local products. Unlike many restaurants today, our entrée pricing still includes a fresh salad, hot & crusty bread, starch du jour, and vegetable du jour...none of that à la carte nonsense! Click here to see a sample menu. We post our menu daily in the dining room.
  2. Like what you see on our menu but haven't made a reservation in advance? No problem....just let us know in the morning that you would like to dine with us that evening, and at what time you would prefer to dine. If a table is available, you've got it. Just remember to bring your appetite!
  3. Why pay pub or restaurant prices for wine & beer when you can enjoy them at Weathertop? Our selection of wine, beer & saké rivals that of any establishment in The Mad River Valley, at pricing that is incredibly reasonable. Click here to see our selection. And don't forget to ask us about the "Weathertop Wine Guarantee"....
  4. Looking for a dining experience away from the inn? Feel free to ask us for suggestions before you venture forth. We have dined at most of the local establishments and personally know most of the owners. We can make recommendations to meet any palate or budget!

Evening Dining at Weathertop

For Weathertop guests & their friends, our restaurant is open seasonally for evening dining. We serve an eclectic selection of reasonably-priced entrées, many of which are favorites discovered on our travels. We also focus on game and seafood not typically found at local dining establishments. To complement your dining experience, we are pleased to offer an international selection of fine wine, beer, and saké. Since our restaurant is not open to the public and we limit the number of tables served, you can expect personalized service in a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. Once you book a table, it is yours for the evening...

While some of our most popular entrées are on the menu year round, we also offer frequently changing specials which depend upon the season and the availability of choice ingredients. Click here to view a sample menu. Be sure to check our daily menu board, or ask your innkeepers, for the day's selections and specials. Got a personal favorite from a prior visit? Let us know in advance, and we will be happy to prepare it, assuming the fresh ingredients are available! For those with "simpler tastes", many of our meat and fish offerings can be plainly grilled or baked - just ask.

For your convenience, we offer either a Weathertop Dining Package or a Weathertop Getaway Package that can be included with your lodging.

Looking for a unique dining experience? Take advantage of our Asian Dining Adventure.

Holiday Dining at Weathertop

On major holidays, many of the restaurants in The Mad River Valley can be quite crowded. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, quite a number are closed. The dining room at Weathertop is always open on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and Valentine's Day.

As holidays approach, please check our website for any updated offerings or special menus!

Whether you plan to dine with us or plan to dine elsewhere on major holidays, PLEASE make your reservations in advance! We have had guests in the past attempt to dine at a favorite restaurant on a "walk in" basis, only to find it fully booked or closed. They then return to the inn and discover that we cannot accomodate them on a "last minute" basis. Nobody wants to be disappointed, especially on a major holiday, so please plan accordingly!
