We were visiting for a UVM admitted student day and had a great dinner on a Thursday night. The burrata and red pepper bisque were great starters. I got the shrimp and andouille sausage which was excellent. Our waitress Cemile S did a fantastic job taking care of us!

My friend and I came here for the first time. She recommended it because there are a lot of vegetarian options. The atmosphere was great, so many cute plants and a cute skylight. Food was awesome. Our server Cemile did such a great job. She told us she was new but was very talented and felt like a veteran server. Will definitely come back!

Our waiter Peter, was perfect! He accommodated to our table of 6 super well, took our orders in a very friendly and professional manner, and brought out our food and drinks super quickly! He also had a perfectly trimmed well looking beard. He perfectly arranged the 4 pickles on my plate.

We always have a great experience at The Daily Planet! The menu is eclectic and offers something for everyone, with plenty of options for both vegetarians and meat-eaters. My personal favorites are the small plates. I can’t get enough of the grilled zucchini. The weekly specials are also consistently excellent.
Last night our server, Kate, really made the evening memorable. She was attentive, engaging, and took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu. She offered great recommendations and spent time chatting with us in a way that made the experience feel personal rather than rushed. It’s clear she truly cares about making sure guests have a great time.
The Daily Planet is a great choice whether you’re looking for a casual “random Tuesday” dinner (especially with the half-priced cocktails), a place to gather with a larger group, or a cozy spot for a special celebration for two.

Some gluten free choices. The staff should be more knowledgeable about ingredients. Seemed vague when I asked about ingredients as I have severe food allergies. Restaurant is a hundred percent inaccessible for those with physical disabilities. Absolutely not for wheelchairs. This one is strictly for those on two good legs . Bathroom is a minus 2. Toilet paper is located for those with 6 foot long arms. Stall is for those around toddler height. Not for families or disabilities. Also dirty.

Wow. We had a fabulous vegan dinner here. Just so delicious. Our waitperson was attentive and helpful in guiding us as we made our selections. The place has a friendly, funky vibe. We sat outside but the inside seating is very nice, with a casual, fun atmosphere. Be sure to try the North African tagine – it is really good. And the vegan mint chocolate cheesecake was out of this world; I’d go back just for that. Highly recommended.

Tasty food and good service. There’s ample seating available for dining-in, our server Olivia did a great job at handling our orders in a timely manner. There’s a broad assortment of options to suit all tastes and dietary preferences – the beet & arugula salad was delicious, along with the ahi tuna and pasta dishes. Overall, I’d recommend this spot for an upscale meal in Burlington!

I had an amazing experience at Daily Planet! The service with our waitress, Kate, was incredible! She was so friendly and was always there when we needed her. She gave great drink recommendations and really made us all feel welcome. Her energy was also wonderful and it was clear she was working very hard! The food was also delicious and came out in a very reasonable time. 10/10 recommend the nachos also!

Cemile was a great waitress. From the moment we sat down, she was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made sure we were comfortable and checked on us at just the right times without being overwhelming. Our food came out on time, and she handled everything very professionally. You can tell she really cares about her job and about giving customers a good experience. Thank you, Cemile, for making our visit even better. I would definitely come back again!

Happy to find a restaurant with vegan options while visiting Burlington, Vermont. We arrived after 7pm and it was quite busy. We were grateful to be seated quickly. Our food did take awhile but we understood. Our server Peter was polite and attentive. I had the jalapeno black bean fritters and seared cauliflower small plates. Both were flavorful. The mint chocolate chip cheesecake was delicious. Perfect to split.
