Smugglers Notch Restaurants & Bars
With the family emphasis and a large proportion of condos, apres ski is about as quiet as it gets.The Black Bear Tavern at the Madonna base offers typical ski resort fair alongside hot drinks, cocktails, and a number of locally brewed beers.
There are a number of more upscale restaurants on the village side of the resort. The Green Mountain Deli serves typical afternoon sandwiches and snacks. Riga-Bellos is the resort pizzeria, situated alongside a Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop for those looking to indulge in a Vermont staple dessert. The Hearth & Candle serves cozy locally grown organic food and also features an adult-only dining section. The Morse Mountain Grille serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails, all of which have a Vermont flair. Finally, the Bootleggers’ Lounge is Smugglers’ Notch’s only late-night option, serving cocktails in a dance lounge setting.
Vermont Stella Notte and the Brewski are two other popular venues near the resort. Also nearby are the Three Mountain Lodge Restaurant, serving Vermont specialties, and the Smugglers’ Notch Inn, a typical old Vermont building that was once an inn on the stagecoach route. Both are in Jeffersonville.
