It might feel as though you've entered a time warp, once you're inside Ye Olde Tavern, located in Manchester Center, Vermont, which dates back to 1790 and has been carefully restored to maintain the original aura of the 18th century. The colonial and genteel aspects of hospitality are still in use and guests are welcomed with warmth and treated to a delicious cuisine of New England and Continental fare. Slanting doorways, antique furnishings and classical music, along with the stencilled patterns on the walls, reminiscent of Moses Eaton's designs, complete the look delightfully.

The menu brings starters of seafood cakes, pan seared and topped with a zesty tomato hollandaise, followed by well loved Yankee favorites such as chicken pot pie simmered with seasonal vegetables, topped with Vermont cheddar and mashed potatoes. Other popular options could include filet mignon and shrimp scampi along with pastas and for dessert, the cranberry and apple crisp with ice cream is a fitting end. The wine list offers popular choices from France, Italy and America.
