Kismet - MONTPELIER

I wish this place was open every day for lunch, but we would like to go on Saturday after the farmer market. they have a raw juiceable, I love carrot, apple and ginger and they have a great selection of veggie, vegan breakfast pastries with ice cream. always delicious and fresh.

I was here years ago and was not too impressed, but after I went to the brunch yesterday, I wanted to write a review. I had the vegan benedict and it was delicious. the tempeh has a great taste and the hollandaise sauce was fantastic. it's hard to eat, but it's worth it. I want to go back. there is also a tasty looking vegan chalk bowl on the menu. I can definitely recommend it for brunch - just don't try to go dinner because they don't have vegan items on this menu

My partner I visited some friends in montpelier in oktober (sorry, late review) and we ended the day we left after kismet. I was a little nervous to try her as I was the only vegan in our party and I knew her menu was limited, but I was pleasantly surprised. the waitress we had was very familiar with vegan and happy showed me what the dings were vegan or could be made easily vegan (which was not much, but more than I thought from looking for the menu online I always finished the vegan version of the scrambles (see picture I uploaded) and it was fantastic. my non-vegan partner also loved her court (I forget what she got, some egg-ding maybe) and my friends also liked her. Some disadvantages: montpelier is a small city (not many places to eat) and this restaurant is just a few steps of tiny (they may have 10 tables a bar), so that we ended waiting for at least 45 minutes to sit. they do not take any reservations and wt is cold, so dress up warm and ready to window shop near while waiting and do not come to starving. that said this place is very cute, interesting decor and personal was very friendly and I would like to eat there again at my next visit. It was possibly the best vegan meal I had in 2015; the sweet was so delicious and fresh.

Always have vegan options. the vegan benedikt would transform everyone omnipresent. it's amazing. they are taking credit cards now.

Kismet catered our recent wedding reception, and the food, which is the most important thing, was absolutely fabulous. We especially loved the polenta with vegan cream sauce, the roasted tomatoes, and the utterly delicious bread. Everything came with clear serving instructions (although not enough Sterno we had to make an emergency trip to get more). The meal also featured stuffed eggplant, roasted garlic, roasted squash, stuffed grape leaves, and spinach salad with cranberries, walnuts, and a maple-mustard dressing. Everything was great in taste and appearance. We also rented dishes, flatware, and table linens from Kismet. The dishes were not clean when we got them, so the bride ended up doing dishes the morning of the wedding. Also, the cloth napkins were so stained that we had to ask friends to make an emergency store trip to pick up paper napkins. These two issues added unnecessary stress to a day when it was certainly not needed. Another word of caution: Kismet does not accept credit cards. We were surprised that this wasn't mentioned to us earlier, since it's virtually unheard of in business these days. We were having friends pick up the food, which was a hour's drive away on icy roads, so this was another crisis. Kismet was not willing to accept PayPal or a wire transfer, and we ended up having our friend pay for the food to be reimbursed by us later.
