Cozy place for a quiet dinner

Tip Top Café is located in the town center of White River Junction and is more a restaurant than a café.

The food was quite tasty. Unfortunately, they had just one vegan option - other than the salads - which was a red bell pepper stuffed with quinoa and black beans. Delicious but not the meal I was looking for because I was looking for something warm and it was served cold.
My boyfriend had the Heirloom tomato tart with mozzarella, basil, mache, roasted bell pepper sauce (vegetarian) which was more than just okay.

Everything was fine, the waitress was nice, but for me, something was missing..

Recommendable though!

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Parking lot

Cons: Not that much vegan options

Let's all go there and order the tempeh

Vermont restaurants close early, so when it hit 7:30 pm and we were still on I91 on our way headed north, I began to panic. I googled and telephoned and it looked like my kids would probably have to skip dinner that night when somehow I checked out the menu for this restaurant. True, the entrees were mostly meat, but there was also a pepita crusted tempeh with roasted squash and coconut curry sauce on the menu. I called to check the restaurant's availability, and we made a beeline for it.

The lunch menu has a LOT more options--curried chickpeas, black bean burgers, falafel, etc. There were not many choices at dinner--my kids had the pasta and my husband and I had the tempeh. There were a lot of very nice sounding side dishes accompanying the entrees that I am sure would have made a nice vegetarian plate had we asked for one.

The tempeh dish was sensational and that is why I am giving this restaurant five cows. The other food was good as well, but the tempeh dish would have been a standout even at restaurants like Candle 79 or Blossom. Crispy breaded tempeh slices atop a ring of baked squash with a red coconut curry sauce, sauteed red cabbage and a few steamed kale leaves. It was one of the most delicious meals I have had at any restaurant in quite a while.

We wound up here because the restaurant we used to stop at has become, sadly, veg unfriendly. So it was nice to stumble upon this little restaurant with this gem of a dish and hope that they receive enough encouragement to expand their veg offerings at dinner.

Great restaurant!

It's true that there's a fair bit of meat on the menu, but they'll accommodate almost any diet. The food is delicious, and the presentation beautiful! My current favorite place.
