Ponce Bistro

Impossibly delicious breakfast! Husband had heuvos Puerto Rico and I had Florentine eggs on an insanely fresh baguette. Plus enjoyed it on their charming patio along with great coffee and lovely service! A highlight of our weekend.

An unusual breakfast menu. More European than American standard breakfast fare.

Food was excellent and the orange juice authenic fresh squeezed.

Service was efficient and waitress friendly.

Will be returning on our next visit to VT.

My wife and I were in Manchester, VT for a sightseeing day trip and, strictly by chance, stopped at Ponce for lunch. We are so glad we did. Great food and atmosphere, and their prices are very reasonable considering the high quality of the experience.

The people there are all very courteous and friendly. The owner even spent a few minutes answering some questions we asked about photographs decorating the wall and he talked with us for a little while about his place. We felt like family.

Ponce certainly exceeded our expectations and we'll definitely stop again the next time we visit Manchester. Jim and Kim Frustere - Wilton, NY.

We have been there with our whippets so we always sat outside. I like that you are in the mix but you can sit off to the side also. Lunch/Breakfast is always outstanding and the baked good to eat in or to go are TO DIE FOR.

Very disappointed with the owners attitude with customer sitting. We were 6 people that went there to have lunch. And they told us they could not seat 6 people. Which I understand because of Covid. So I asked if we could seat Separate on three tables of two. The answers was that they have one chef and he could not serve three tables at the same time. You should not open if you can not handle the number of tables you have. This shows us that you don’t care about customers. We brought friends from Connecticut to try, so will never go back there.

We had dinner here during our weekend in Manchester. And then came back for lunch the next day! The food is amazing, creative, delicious. Ambiance (we sat outside) so relaxing. Top notch.

Good food, was disappointed in last visit. A week into the new year, but server said no homemade soup or quiche due to "holidays." Panini was fine, but lettuce was substituted for spinach.....should have been mentioned.

Went during the Burr and Burton Shootout. My server was a sweetheart. But it took a half an hour to get our food and when it arrived, there was crab shell throughout my and my daughters crab crepe. When I said something to the server, she went back to the kitchen where the guy stated loudly that I just didn’t want to pay for my food. I was appalled. I originally stopped because I am a successful Puerto Rican in an area where we are a minority. I could not believe that the man was being so accusatory based on, I could only assume, the way I was dressed. Then, they only took one of the 2 crepes that where inedible off of my bill. How dare you charge me for food that I could not eat?? And it was obvious that we weren’t trying for free food because WE DIDN’T EAT IT!! I literally only took 2 or 3 bites as did my daughter. The nice waitress is the only reason for the 2 stars.

Pretty good brunch! A little on the more expensive side but their food was definetly very tasty and fresh. We would probably have eaten on the patio if we could but because of COVID we just did takeout.

The food is amazing but you cannot be in a hurry. There is one chef and he takes his time and the front of the house always seems understaffed or new employees. It's worth the wait.
