About Café Monette
Café Monette is a French-inspired restaurant built around thoughtful cooking, seasonal ingredients, and food made from scratch. From our breads and pastries to our entrées and desserts, we take pride in doing things with care and creating food that feels both rooted in tradition and distinctly our own.
The kitchen is led by Adam Monette, whose work has earned Café Monette recognition as a James Beard Foundation Best New Restaurant nominee. Adam is also a member of the Académie Culinaire de France, an organization dedicated to promoting and preserving the traditions and excellence of French cuisine. Alongside Adam are Tyler Comeau and Henry Long, two of his former culinary students who have grown into an integral part of the Café Monette team. Together, they bring a shared passion for French cooking, creativity, and hospitality, combining classical technique with a modern, seasonal approach.
Our menu evolves with the seasons, with ingredients sourced from farms and producers throughout Vermont whenever possible. We want Café Monette to feel welcoming whether you’re joining us for a casual dinner with friends, or a special celebration — serving food that is thoughtful, approachable, and memorable.
