Eliot St Fish Chips - Brattleboro

This is my absolute favorite place in town for vegan food. Yeah, they have meat and Yeah, it's a terrible restaurant name, but they know how to do vegan food right. The crispy fried tofu wrap with peanut sauce is out of this world. I have brought both omni veg heads here for this and they all leave raving happy. Some have said the tofu wrap is even better than the fish. Yeah! The falafel is also super good. And the fries are some of my fav. They have a seemingly permanent special called the Middle Beast, which is fries and falafel and jerusalem salad with tahini sauce drizzled all over. So not healthy and so so so delicious! There is a tempeh wrap as well however sadly they haven't quite figured out how to work with tempeh so I wouldn't recommend it.

This charming little fish and chip shop also offers a surprising vegan menu. The staff are friendly and ready to assist.

After seeing another reviewer mention a concern, I asked the server about the cooking practices at the restaurant. They confirmed that all vegan items are cooked in the same oil as the fish, which makes me uncomfortable due to potential cross-contamination. Others may still enjoy the restaurant, but I personally find this to be a deal-breaker.

They listed a bunch of vegan food on their menu, but I discovered it is all made in the same fryer as the rest of the food and other meat. The only food item that I could really get was a salad, which is what I was trying to avoid because that’s all I can ever get when I go out to eat. The owner was so sweet though! And my boyfriend got some other food from there and said it was amazing. So, if you’re a vegan who doesn’t mind a shared fryer, I’m sure this place would be fantastic....it’s just not for me.

The restaurant has a complete vegan menu with options for tofu and falafel meals. They also have tempeh available. However, like other reviews have mentioned, there is a risk of cross-contamination. This review was updated on October 12, 2023.
