At The Lazy Goat Tavern, we invite families, travelers, and locals alike to gather and savor the best of Vermont. Our seasonal dishes celebrate the freshest ingredients from nearby farms, thoughtfully crafted by Chef Gregory Lang, NECI ‘89. Whether you're craving a hearty breakfast, a three-course dinner, or a decadent dessert, each bite delivers the rustic flavors that Vermont is known for.

Here, we believe in more than just great food. Our cozy tavern is a hub for community, where you can admire local art on the walls and enjoy live music from talented Vermont musicians. Take in the rich history of The Essex Resort & Spa, the only four-season culinary resort in Chittenden County, and become part of our story.
