Restaurants in Stowe
The Harvest Market, at 1031 Mountain Rd. (tel. 802/253-3800), is a great place for picking up takeout gourmet. You can browse Vermont products and imports and snag some fresh-baked goods to bring back to the ski lodge or take for a picnic along the bike path. Slightly high prices may cause your eyebrows to arch, but if you're not on a tight budget, it's a good place to splurge.

Green Goddess
Green Goddess is a bit off-the-beaten path for Stowe visitors, being nowhere near the mountain and a short drive from the white-steepled main drag of the town. But those who find it, find their way back, because this unprepossesing place (you order at the counter and carry your own…$Stowe Village - International
Harrison's Restaurant & Bar
After years of reviewing restaurants, I get nervous when I discover that I'm going to be eating in a basement, on the most touristy strip in town, from a menu that jumps so many continents and styles of cooking you'd guess no kitchen staff could actually get anything right.

Pie-Casso
Stowe has an overabundance of fancy schmancy restaurants, but make not mistake: it does more humbly-priced fare quite well, too. Or at least it does at this wittily-named pizzaria where customers are encouraged to create their own "masterpieces", slathering individually-sized rounds…$On Mountain Road - American
Plate
Plate manages the neat trick of being just the type of restaurant most visitors hope to find in a classic New England town like Stowe. It's right on Main Street, in a Vermonty storefront with big glass windows so guests can gaze out to the white steepled church. The menu walks the…$$Stowe Village - Gourmet American
The Bistro at Ten Acres Lodge
Set on an out-of-the-way bend in the road, a good 10 to 15 minutes' drive from both Mount Mansfield and Stowe Village (that counts as a long drive in this resort community), the Bistro nonetheless attracts crowds of eager diners. Why is easy to tell but hard to replicate: It does…$$$Near Trapp Family Lodge - Italian
Trattoria La Festa
Stowe's favorite red-sauce joint since 1986, Trattoria La Festa is the type of place you can take both your over-active toddler and your picky mother-in-law, pleasing all (including the surrounding customers; this is not the type of restaurant where anyone gets shushed). The food is…$$On Mountain Road
