Kent, Conn. – It’s no secret that Kent is a hidden gem when it comes to fine dining and shopping.

A panel of food experts have taken notice and acknowledged two Kent restaurants as standout favorites, among others in the state, as part of Connecticut Magazine’s top restaurants for 2025.

Ore Hill at 3 Maple St. was noted as a favorite in the new American category, while Fife ‘n Drum Restaurant at 53 Main St. was recognized as a favorite in the wine selection category.

Restaurants across the state were surveyed in numerous categories by the panel.
