Derby Line Village Inn

One of our favourite place to eat
Fritz and his wife are the nicest people you’ll meet
His food is always incredible
German oriented but daily specials every night
He will regularly come out and say hello to the patrons
If you are having a special occasion for dinner he might just pull out the accordion!!

We just surprised my mother with a birthday party/dinner here at the Derby Line Village Inn. The food is always amazing and the staff is great. As far as I know, everyone in our group of twelve was very happy with their meal and overall had a great experience. I highly recommend this restaurant!

New Years eve dinner was great with Markus as our waiter. He provided a requested appetizer not on the menu for my friend, as well as a dark lager that was not on tap. The food was delicious and generous portions. Only one of us thought the dessert was too small in portion size. Nicely decorated for Christmas with great photo opportunities. Two rooms had cozy fireplaces. We all felt it was the best New Year's dining ever!

Our friend treated us to a wonderful sit down and be served brunch.

There must have been at least 20 choices for the main dish, there were 3 options for a starter and 3 options for a desert ( which we took to go, 'cause we were full).

Food is delicious with a gourmet/Austrian twist.
Service excellent.
The chef proprietor and his hostess wife come around to talk and make sure all is okay.

We had eaten dinner there once before which was awesome too.

Go there for a terrific meal!! Be sure to make a reservation!! It is a popular spot. Sometimes they even have music in the evening.

PS the Inn is also a B&B with interesting accommodations upstairs. Check it out.

Words cannot even begin to describe Derby Line Inn. From the beautiful historic decor to the outrageously plush and comfy bedding every detail of the inn is clearly cared for and well thought through. Paula and Fritz are two of the kindest individuals I've ever had the pleasure of staying with and their long history of experience in the restaurant biz is evident in every detail. There are so many beautiful and intimate spaces around the property to explore, as well as lovely gardens and the tennis court being built in back will only make the property that much easier to enjoy.
Not only are the grounds and inn exceptional, but the restaurant is where Derby Line truly soars. Every bite of every meal leaves one thinking "oh my goodness that's the best thing I've ever eaten!" and makes the temptation to lick every plate clean near impossible to resist (The 5 added pounds I brought home from the trip were scientific proof of this!) Fritz and his kitchen team are true culinary artists and bring Austrian cuisine and Vermont flavors together in a beautiful harmony of taste and creativity that will leave any with the luck to enjoy a meal at Derby Line both pleased and inspired.
The serving staff is attentive and caring, guided by Paula's exceptional management, and the decor has a comfortable way of showcasing the history of the space without being over the top. The beer and wine selection is well and the servers are well versed in whats available for pairing selections.
Well worth the trip up from CT and an absolute MUST if you're anywhere remotely within driving distance of Derby Line! Have already recommended the Inn to all of my friends and loved ones and I just got back home yesterday. Can't wait to go back soon! Thanks again for the incredible retreat!
