Restaurants

American Flatbread at Lareau Farm in Waitsfield is a not-to-be missed spot for outstanding flatbread pizzas.  It gets very crowded, particularly on the weekends.  You need to stop in after 4 PM to reserve a table for the eventing.  They don’t take reservations online or by phone.  Killington has numerous restaurant options with Casey’s Caboose and The Lookout Tavern being two of the most popular with our members.
