They have an incredible variety of crepes ranging from the delicious Johnny Crepe which is made of pulled pork, carmelized onions and cheese folded into a crepe, or the Coconut Curried Potato Crepe made from sweet and Russet potatoes.  The Deja Vu Crepe  is a bit sweeter with Vermont’s own sweet Italian sausage, Champlain orchard apples and Cabot cheddar cheese.  This is served with a side of maple syrup.  While the Bananaganza mimics a classic banana split (contains nuts).  

They also offer cheese fondue in five varieties.  Or, for dessert, there is the Classic Chocolate fondue and a Maple Cream fondue.  I’d like to visit during the Folk & Fondue Music Series every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening.  Sounds fun!

Kismet Kitchen is open for breakfast and lunch Wednesday through Sunday and have come up with a very creative menu.  If eggs are not part of your diet, you can substitute with a tofu scramble, or try the buckwheat crepes which are vegan and gluten-free.  Hormone free cow’s milk, organic, unsweetened soy milk and organic hemp milk is available.  All soups can be made dairy and meat free (Actually, anything here can be made vegetarian or vegan!) and gluten free bread is available for the sandwiches for an additional $1.00.     For dessert, there is flourless chocolate cake or organic, free trade truffles (gluten and dairy-free) which are available in a variety of flavors.

No need to bring your credit cards here. Cash or checks only accepted.
