Dining Locally: Duino! (Duende)
This past weekend the Hubz and I decided to have an afternoon date at Dunio! (Duende) in downtown Burlington, VT. This small restaurant is part of Radio Bean a local cafe known for it’s weekly musical performances and off beat atmosphere. Since Duino! (Duende) is off the main street in downtown Burlington we always forget about it but after our revisit this past weekend I think we will be frequenting it more often.
The theme behind the menu at Dunio! (Duende) is unique and different from other restaurants in the area since its focus is on international street food. The menu is small but provides enough inexpensive vegan friendly dishes that you won’t be disappointed. They also have an extensive drink menu with wines, beers and specialty drinks as well.
I started with a Manhattan
And the Hubz had a Five Dollar Shake: Stout, espresso, and maple syrup
For my meal the Hubz and I shared the soup of the day which was a creamy squash soup with thai spices it was really yummy and came with grilled bread.
And we shared the Mujadara: Lentils & rice cooked with onions served in a pita with tahini, hot sauce, lettuce & tomato & tabouleh salad- this was really tasty!
Overall we really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere, delicious (inexpensive) food and we will be back again soon.
