Michael's On The Hill Description:
Michael Kloeti knows a thing or two about European hospitality. Once at the helm of Manhattan's Lespinasse, the Swiss-born chef has excelled in bringing his native cuisine to the States. His early nineteenth-century farmhouse boasts one of Vermont's best dining rooms. White linen service sets an elegant tone, but the milieu is relaxed. Guests are greeted warmly, and then treated to tiny potter's bowls of mixed olives, fresh butter and sea salt. Old-world recipes are reborn at Michael's, such as the simple white root bisque, brightened under drizzled beet oil. We recommend the prix-fixe menu, which showcases country favorites like duck confit. Don't miss the seasonal venison loin, expertly roasted to a medium-rare, and then paired with rye knoepfli and choucroute. The savory Swiss dumplings help ground Kloeti's sour cabbage in a rustic dish that will leave mouths buzzing. Westerly views from the wraparound porch offer mountain sunsets, but you'll be just as smitten by the Riesling-poached pear on your plate.
