Leunigs Bistro has been a Burlington institution since it opened in 1980. Located on the corner of Church and College Streets on the Marketplace, it invites all passers by to visit Burlington's own little Parisian Cafe. The decor and ambiance will make you think you're in Paris, and the food will make you think you've died and gone to heaven. A member of the Vermont Fresh Network, Leunigs chefs prepare the best of local ingredients with a worldly accent. Live jazz with dinner Tuesday, Wednesday. Lunch served Monday-Saturday, Dinner every night, and Brunch on Sunday. Great wines by the glass or bottle, full liquor service. Best people watching in town. Reservations accepted, but not necessary. Every meal served with the panache of Paris and the value of Vermont, right in the center of town.

    Our favorite place to dine in Burlington. The menu is creative and the food is fresh and very good. The wait staff (last night it was Morgan) is friendly and attentive, and the early dinner menu is a bargain. We always bring our guests to Leunig's, and they are impressed.

    Always a good lunch. Service this time was surprisingly unfriendly and unhelpful. Just a weird vibe.

    Leunig’s always impresses. The virgin hot toddy’s were the perfect pair to our carbonara.

    I’m never disappointed when I dine at Leunig’s, whether it be a lunch or dinner. It was quite frigid last night, and my only was that it was on the cool side where we sat, at a table in front of the bar.

    I have been going to Leunigs for decades as it has become a staple to the Burlington downtown scene. The pate we ordered as an app was very cold so it crumbled. and the bread was very cold and hard. I suspect that the platters are made in advance and then taken out of the fridge when ordered. Bread should be crispy not hard and at least room temp. And the pate should be room temp and spreadable. My beef was also not hot and was quite dry. Not really the caliber of the Leunigs I remember which perhaps might be a function of new ownership since August
