THE COPPER GROUSE
The Copper Grouse serves regionally inspired,
soulful dishes, celebrating the bounty of Vermont’s
four seasons. Our elevated beverage program
complements the cuisine, incorporating classic
cocktails, artisanal spirits, and a wide selection of
Vermont craft beers. An exhibition-style kitchen
and chef’s table offer guests a front-row seat to
the culinary action from Chef Adam Raftery, while
thoughtful touches such as a warm fireplace and
wrap-around porch create a welcoming gathering
place. 3835 Main Street, Manchester. 802-362-0176.
