Very impressed with this little gem in North Bennington. Very comfortable, low noise level, nice and cozy without being pretentious. I started with the Kale salad which was delicious and only $10--extremely reasonable for the quality of ingredients. My husband and I both had the Diver Scallops and we both loved every bite. Best sorbet I have ever had. Such a wonderful night out. We will be back

Pangaea offers a wonderful option to bring fine dining home. We miss going to restaurants, however the Pangaea "take away" menu is a fine alternative. The food is well prepared and delicious. The menu changes periodically. Our Pangaea dinners brought home was a cause to celebrate.

The hostess and waitress were so kind when we showed up for our reservation only to find that we had no reservation! (Second time that I’ve had problems with Open Table) And I was beside myself with embarrassment and fear we couldn’t be accommodated. They we’re able to seat us right away and the service continued to be excellent. The menu has many choices with very affordable prices. We had the short ribs and chicken piccata. Both were generous amounts and very flavorful. We also sampled two of their desserts-cannolis and the flourless chocolate torte. Absolutely delicious. We could not be happier with our meals and service and will definitely return.

I had not eaten at Pangea for a few years and was pleasantly surprised to discover all the improvements that have been made. To begin with, the staff was the best I've experienced anywhere in a very long time.
We chose a special dinner option offered by Chef Nick called "Around the World" that included a variety of dishes from all over the globe. It was four very creatively planned courses plus dessert. Wine pairing was also offered. I am a Pescatarian and thoroughly enjoyed it. All the wait-staff (including bartender) were smiling and genuinely appeared happy to be there! A huge PLUS in any eatery. Amy, our flight attendant/server, was especially delightful, attentive, and knowledgeable.
I would highly recommend a stop your next trip to the area!

We have been here several times and never disappointed. The food is outstanding. Last week I ordered Lamb Cassoulet and it was perfect. Flavors were just right. Hubby ordered Braised Beef Short ribs and declared them excellent. He also ordered Corn Chowder and thought it was too spicy so I got to finish it. It was perfect for my taste. Best corn chowder I've ever eaten. Prices were reasonable for such quality of food.

From the outside the establishment may not appeal to most but once you’re inside it’s inviting and a wonderful experience. We were seated in the back room which was quaint and cozy. The restaurant staff were wonderful and very attentive and not on the pushy side. The drink menu was full of a variety of choices, one being several non-alcoholic drinks to choose from, very fun! We started with the charcuterie board which had many cheeses and meats to choose from, such a great way to start! I had the stir fry, and when they describe it on the menu as spicy, you better believe it! So good! I finished my meal with the signature chocolate cake, oh boy that hit the spot! I recommend a visit to anyone looking for a great suggestion. Enjoy!

This place is AMAZING. the environment is so cozy and welcoming, the space holds well for multiple small groups/pairs, and the service is wonderful. All food options are delicious, I’ve honestly never been so amazed by cafe food. Their vegetarian options are so good! The coffee and drinks made are good, granted, as a barista, my standards are high.

We recently attended a wedding reception at Pangea/The Lounge and it was exceptional. The service was warm and welcoming and the food was outstanding! We dined al fresco and enjoyed maple-glazed salmon and short ribs. Both to die for. Don't miss this spot in North Bennington!

We have dined at Pangaea in the past and will definitely return! The staff are warm and welcoming. The menu is interesting and varied. The meals are well prepared and nicely presented. The noise level is low so one can have quiet conversation. There's no TV at the bar which is very refreshing plus! The crab cake entree was superb!

Dining at Pangaea is a wonderful experience. The restaurant is small with a low noise level that allows for conversation. The meals are exceptional and beautifully presented. The wine list is very good. Pangaea is the best restaurant option in the Bennington/Southern Vermont area. Original art work on the walls adds to the lovely ambiance.

What a jewel! Pangea had a dish for everyone on our girls' weekend: from duck with roasted veggies to salads. Cocktails were fun and tasty ( I enjoyed the "Witchy Kitty" gin and rosemary creation). Service was prompt and friendly. A cozy bar, too. Phil at the Bennington bookstore--your recommendation was spot on. Thanks!

We were in Bennington earlier this month. We ate breakfast at Pangaea 4 times! What I hated about leaving Vermont to return to California was that I wouldn't be going to Pangaea anymore! Absolutely loved the egg, sausage, and cheese breakfast sandwich on Portuguese muffin. And the Cortado coffee was fabulous!

A wonderful coffee shop adjacent to Pangea, the excellent foodie restaurant in North Bennington. Great for getting writing or computer work done in a friendly, relaxed setting. Also good for meeting up wit friends. Small but satisfactory breakfast and lunch menus and an attentive, warm staff.
