There’s No Other Restaurant In The World Quite Like This One In Connecticut

Local restaurants in Connecticut are known for their charm, but there's one in Union that takes this concept to a different level. Along with friendly service and a delicious meal, diners at Traveler Restaurant can also expect a free book. After the meal, visitors are invited to choose from the store's impressive book collection and keep their favorite.

Here's more on this incredible unique small town restaurant:

Just two minutes from the highway, Traveler Restaurant is located at 1257 Buckley Hwy Union, CT 06076.

Offering a cozy dining space filled to the brim with books and delicious food, this small town restaurant is nothing short of a sanctuary for the weary traveler.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the original owner of Traveler Restaurant is an avid reader. He started bringing books into his restaurant in 1980s so they could find new homes.

Today, the collection is mainly donated by local libraries and community members. Books of nearly every genre line the walls of this cozy diner.

Before you begin browsing, be sure to order something delicious from the menu. Photographed below is the cheddar burger with seasoned homefries.

Traveler Restaurant also serves up incredible breakfasts. The homemade omelette and a cup of coffee is the perfect way to fuel up for a day of book browsing.

After you've selected your free reading material, you can even wander downstairs to visit the used book store, called The Book Cellar.

For bookworms and hungry travelers, this spot is an absolute must-visit.

Traveler Restaurant is open on Monday - Sunday from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Have you visited this local gem before? If so, feel free to share your experiences there with us!
