Blue Paddle Bistro *** CELEBRATING 21 YEARS - MARCH 14, 2026 ***
The Paddle is a special little award-winning bistro nestled in the beautiful Lake Champlain Islands of Vermont.

Home of The Paddle Pups, during the summer we are dog-friendly for our outdoor diners. During the winter months, we are closed SUNDAYS - TUESDAYS but would be thrilled to offer our three rooms for private dining parties. Let us be your place! Birthdays Parties, Holiday Get-Togethers, Retirement Celebrations, Secret Santa Exchanges ... the list is endless! Just call Mandy @ 802-372-4814
Plus, we offer a monthly Sunday Brunch from 9:30am-3:00pm.

10 years after my photo with this lovely gentleman, I get the opportunity to take a selfie with his wife. It was a bittersweet day for her yesterday; we shared a few hugs and tears together. Of all the things I will miss about The Paddle, our guests (aka our friends) will be at the top of that list ...

We have available tables tonight through Sunday, and we'd love it if you'd share your evening with us! Yummy food, great service, and good company ... that's what we're all about at The Paddle. It's going to be nice outside, so our picnic table seating will be available, too. Bring your dogs; we supply water bowls and biscuits. Just give Paddle Pup Wilbur and me a call: 802-372-4814.
Hope to see you later,
