Ace Endico Restaurant Spotlight: The Best Fall Menu Items in Greater Danbury

Welcome to the latest edition of the Ace Endico Restaurant Spotlight, where we feature a new list of local restaurants each month to showcase some of the great eateries Connecticut has to offer. This month, we're highlighting restaurants that best capture the essence of fall — whether that's in one menu item or several.

Let's get started:

1) Brewster Pastry: What pairs better with a warm cup of coffee than a chocolate croissant? Brewster Pastry is celebrating its 16th anniversary this month, so be sure to wish them many more years of success the next time you're there!

2) Cinnamon Churros Café: With both savory and sweet churros, you're bound to find something here that fits your mood. Be sure to check out their iced matcha and boba drinks!

3) Dolce Restaurant & Wine Bar: Our mouths are watering over the beef meatballs appetizer (pictured right) topped with ricotta baked in marinara sauce and the oven-roasted halibut (pictured left) with roasted butternut squash, couscous, middle tomatoes, wilted arugula, and cilantro crème fraiche.

4) Marketplace Kitchen & Bar: When the nights get chilly, warm your tummy with a yummy burger, their short rib grilled cheese, or their Nashville hot chicken sandwich.

5) Grounds Donut House: Grounds owns the spooky season, so hit them up to see what delicious combos they've whipped up as the leaves change color and sweater weather settles in.
