Ponce Bistro

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Ponce Bistro this evening! Everything was superb and expertly prepared. The cuisine was so exceptional, we made another reservation before leaving, to introduce our friends to this place!

Such a unique and thoughtful menu. Everything was delicious. The service is relaxed but friendly, so be prepared, they run at their own pace. So many locals came through to talk with the owner, they are clearly loved by the community, always encouraging to see.

Prince Bistro is a consistently wonderful experience! It is the closest I’ve gotten, in the US, to the experience I had dining at the very small places in Rome and Florence, Italy. I think this connection may not even be the goal of the restaurant, but nonetheless it turns out being a wonderful “happy accident”. They have turned a small modest building into a warm, welcoming environment that serves up amazing dining experiences. Great job!

This place is so cool. It is warm, welcoming and so cozy. We were a large party of 12 and they were more than happy to accommodate us. They sat us in the large dining room, and it felt like we were at a family members house being cooked a hot meal. The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable and took care of our every need. The food was incredible, and it was clear that everything was cooked with care. Would recommend 100%!

This place is a gem - the food is excellent, service is quick and the staff are very friendly. We went on a Saturday night which was extra special because of the weekly live jazz music. The ambience and lighting in this converted historic home are perfect for a date night as well as large groups (their largest tables can easily seat 12). The outdoor patio looked fun too, will definitely check that out once it's warmer outside!

Absolutely incredible! Ron is amazing. Made turning 70 spectacular. Thank you Marlene and Sharlene💕

The place is charming. It was a frigid day, and we were given a table near the fireplace. My friend was celebrating her 80th birthday. The owner treated us like royalty, giving us free dessert. The food was great. I highly recommend the rice and beans and creme brulee pudding. We will return! Thanks, Ponce Bistro!!

Wow, the sandwichs are amazing. Carmel cider is so delicious words can't describe how yummy they are. We had a person with an allergy and they totally accommodated their needs.

Great service and food. My wife had a the Smokey Blue salad and if was a sizable portion with generous amounts of blue cheese and bacon. I had the Olive Tapenade & Serrano Ham sandwhich that came with a side of pasta salad. The bread was crisp and chewy and the sandwhich was great. We also had the cheddar tomato soup which was also great. Outdoor seating and BYOB without a corking fee.

Super tasty, flavorful, & fresh lunches. Nice spot for a nice meal. Friendly customer service. I believe it’s Puerto Rican based hence the name.

The delicious smell of food drifting on the breeze caught my attention as I was walking by this restaurant. My nose knows, so I went in to look at the menu and decided on the "Potato Face Omelet." It was absolutely delicious! As others have mentioned, the portion sizes are on the smaller side but the place has a classy, upscale European vibe so this didn't surprise me - seems to be the kind of restaurant that's more focused on quality than quantity.

Had a nice chat with the owner, who was friendly and accommodating. The chef was amiable, and an excellent cook.

Although I took my meal to go (served in a fully-compostable box), it was pleasant inside the building and there is also a cute patio area in the front. Would definitely return.

Delicious dinner in front of a cozy fire. Warm ambience and welcoming, attentive owner. This was our second time dining at Ponce, and we look forward to our next visit. Apparently, breakfasts here are amazing!

Stopped in for lunch at the weekend. Cute place, good service, sat by the open fire on a cold spring day. Sandwich and salad were both good, nicely put together and not too big. Dessert was homemade, delicious, and again not overwhelming. Meal could only have been improved by a glass of wine, but you can BYOB. Looks like they have a nice outside spot too, although the road is busy.

What a great little restaurant located in Manchester Vermont it is our absolute favorite restaurant now to visit when we are in the area. The owner is such a gentleman and addresses all your culinary wants and needs. It is truly a lovely experience surrounded by a very warm atmosphere. The food is delicious and prepared with pride. I would give this 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend #BYOB

I was here on Thursday with a friend the food was amazing and the owner even sat down to talked with us. I don't recall the waitress' name but she had great customer service

Best restaurant in Manchester, hands down. Like pork chops? Don't like pork chops? Whatever you do, try the choppiest, porkiest, tastiest, juiciest chop ever at Ponce. Or anything else - it's all good.

Where do I begin? We had an amazing experience at Ponce Bistro for an intimate celebratory dinner With family. The attention to detail and service was spectacular; from discussing our plans to preparing a special menu in advance to excellent service the evening of. I could go on and on about the service and atmosphere but I can also rave about the food. Everything was phenomenal! The crab bruschetta, thai curry scallops and Brie stuffed sausage were just a few of the awesome dishes we enjoyed, and don’t get me started on the desserts. I would highly recommend an afternoon or evening at Ponce Bistro if you have the chance. You won’t be disappointed!

Pleasantly surprised!!! The food was excellent in every way. Salads were substantial and server was happy to split them on separate plates. Beans and rice, delicious!! Entrees were unique and very good. Price was reasonable, but even better due to the fact that it’s BYOB, with NO corking fee. Ambiance very warm(fireplace) and cozy. Do not miss

So delicious! Stopped here for lunch and we had incredible sandwiches. As some have mentioned, this is not the place to go if you're in a hurry, but it's great for a relaxing lunch. The atmosphere and style is very cozy and unique. We ate at nearly every restaurant in Manchester, and this was our favorite.

We had an amazing dinner at Ponce last night. The food was excellent and the hospitality was even better. Thank you Ron for a wonderful evening, looking forward to coming back the next time I am in town.
