Charlotte Lane Café

The 2008 closing of the venerable Shelburne Cafe and bakery on Dock Street left a huge gap in this town's local food scene. But have no fear: The Charlotte Lane Café rushed into that gap and has since successfully bridged it. Situated on a tiny lane between the village's waterfront and its main commercial street, it's a bit hard to find, but worth it once you do. The kitchen's eclectic lunch and dinner items range from straightforward pasta dishes to Thai-spiced tofu and noodles, racks of lamb with a port wine-orange sauce, seared scallops, and a filet mignon-lobster combination. You can go heavy or light, since the salads and starters like eggplant picatta are good as well. There's a wine list, too, plus the likes of brown sugar-and-buttermilk apple pie, sticky toffee pudding, sorbets, and baked cheesecakes for dessert.
