Restaurants in Telluride

“Had my husband cancel our anniversary dinner reservation bc I got my hair done and it looks absolutely whack - we still ordered takeout from PM and it was absolutely incredible. Thank you to the staff for still making wonderful food and accommodating. Will totally be back when you open again next season.”

“My husband and I only spent 3 days in Telluride and came here for dinner twice, which says a lot about the quality of this place. The vegan options are amazing and the mushroom fest ramen was the star, no doubt.

What really makes this place excellent, however, are the employees. We had the same server/bartender twice, Danielle, and she was soooo absolutely lovely to talk to, she made great drinks, and kept the pace of our meals moving at just the right speed. Can't thank her specifically enough for her hospitality!!”

“Three words: Banana Cream Pie.”

“I have eaten all over every state and even out of the country. This is the best quality food for what we’re eating I’ve ever had! I had the beef nachos and the taco nachos. Absolutely amazing! The shrimp tacos were the best ever! Amazing service don’t miss out on eating here.”

“We visited Telluride in January. Brown Dog is not ordinary pizza. It was extraordinary-I’m completely ruined for pizza anywhere else! We’ve talked about this place countless times since our visit 8.5 months ago. The service was great (I believe our waitress was named Becca) and out of allll the great places we visited in Telluride and Mountain Village, this was the place we’re still talking about. Highly, highly recommend! I don’t know if I’ll ever get back to Telluride, but if I do, you’ll find me at Brown Dog Pizza!”

“Wait staff was great…thank you Julia! We ordered all shareables for 3 of us. Crispy brussels, kushiyaki prawns, wagyu tartare, spicy cauliflower and lamb lollipops. Julia served each item with plenty of time in between so we could enjoy and savor the experience. Thank you and we’ll be back! Julie and Robin Marsh and Lynsey Marsh Bonebrake”

“Best tacos ever! Flavor and a bit of a kick.”

“I stopped in to see Mick and Keith post wedding shenanigans this past weekend and to pick up some swag, coffee and candles!!! I learned a bit about the roasting process and had the best flat white coffee ever - truly made with love. I’m enjoying my black magic, French press this morning - so delicious. FYI - they ship, so order up!!!”

“Great atmosphere, beer and food.”

“Really, really enjoyed it. Group of 6. Great, helpful, friendly service and great food. Excellent salsa and chips. One of our favorite experiences this trip!”

“Never ever disappointed and chef Eliza is the best and always energetic and upping her game. The food is top quality with exceptional preparation detail to perfection. Presentation and service are always prompt, friendly and considerate.”

“Great place to take a break. Mitch made us feel right at home. Quaint,cozy and great service”

“The service was excellent, but the food…hot and cold (NO pun intended). My black bean soup was excellent, and so was the salmon. In fact, the salmon was one of the best I’ve ever had. The Crispy Shrimp & Calamari, shared at the table, wasn’t really crispy at all. It had a tiny bit of sauce drizzled over it, but most pieces didn’t get touched by it, so you had to either ask for a side of dipping sauce (which we didn’t) or eat it plain. Also, there were hardly any shrimp in with the calamari. My Caesar Salad was awful. Before ordering, I confirmed that the dressing was made in house, but it was a tasteless, bland, cream colored, nondescript thin liquid, without a hint of garlic. I didn’t complain, but I tried my only other option of adding plenty of salt and pepper, which just didn’t help. We didn’t order dessert, so I can’t comment on that element. Overall, I think Cosmo’s is a very fine restaurant, but maybe we just didn’t choose well. I would certainly go back, but I would never order the Caesar again, and I would carefully discuss the calamari with the server before committing to it.”

“I wish I had taken a picture of the rice bowls we ordered for take-out, but they were so delicious and we were so hungry, that I forgot! We splurged and got all of the veggies in our bowls. I can easily say that I have not had another rice bowl as good as the ones we got at Liz. I hope we get a chance to come back!”

“The food was delicious!! The chef & staff were amazing, can’t wait to go back!!”

“Before we even sat down the waiter and host told us we had to leave by 7. That was plenty of time for us to eat. They made the last 25 mins of our meal so uncomfortable, reminding us several times that we had to leave. It was beyond rude.”

“Great hangout. Staff was friendly. Outdoor seating. Food next door. Great location.”

“Excellent shareable plates, best octopus I have had in a land locked state. Drinks were delicious and staff was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be returning”

“Have purchased both the whiskey and the Gin and have been very very impressed with both. The whiskey is smooth as silk and the use of the Colorado juniper berries makes for a bright and vibrant gin that is very pleasing on the palate whether straight or in a cocktail. 10/10 will buy both of these products again.”

“A few vegan items to grab on the fly. Good customer service. Sandwich packed full of assorted veggies. Price point fair for the load. A revisit when in the area.”

“Very limited hours so check before going! Delicious, fresh breads & sandwiches ❤️”

“The view from Allred’s is amazing! The food was excellent! The service was excellent! Worth the money to go for the experience!”

“A phenomenal experience. We come to telluride every fall and this is one of our favorite restaurants to dine at. Everytime the food and service is amazing. Our server tonight was Michael and he was exceptional. One of the best servers we’ve ever had. He was very educated on the menu and had great suggestions. We tried the new salmon on the menu tonight and were very pleased. We are here for 2 weeks and just might have to come again next week! Thank you Michael and thank you to the chef! Delicious!”

“You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't stop here! I had the carnitas burrito (the meat is so juicy and tender!) and my husband had the San Juan both times we went. We ate this early afternoon and would be full for the rest of the day!”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of cooking as guest chefs for a special event at this venue. WOW. It is truly an experience.

While we can’t speak to the food that is served here regularly we did meet the chef and he is talented and has a great background. We can’t wait to return some day as guests”

“In the heart of Telluride. 💀 🌹 Support local vendors.”

“What an excellent restaurant! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing as well as the venue of Wines. Also the owners go above and beyond to make sure your dining experience was lovely Oh… and Donna the beautiful accordion Player was fabulous! I’ll be back?”

“Good food, casual atmosphere. Bartender was so nice. Football on TV. Snowing outside. Lots of fun!”

“We really enjoyed lunch at this spot. It was easy and very convenient. Pizza was probably the best I've had in Telluride. Some food is pre made or already heated making it a quick meal.”

“Amazing tuna sandwich fresh bread and the French fries was delicious size bigger than you would think feeds 2 people only one thing was wrong the price advertised $14 on website while in store it was $16 that’s all”

“Great coffee. Great cowgirls!”

“Classic basement dive bar/Irish pub. They have two pool tables and darts. Great place to crush a couple cocktails and play some bar sports when the weather is bad outside. Careful though because you can end up spending hours in this establishment without realizing it. Bartenders are awesome to chat with.”

“Great food made with quality ingredients very fresh and amazing options. Always stop in at least once if not twice on our visits to Telluride. Fun vibe inside and very nice staff.”

“Su menú es excelente Ben a probar su nuevo menú es muy Rico”

“The quality and service here are absolutely excellent. We experienced a medical emergency during our visit, and the staff went above and beyond to take care of us with kindness and professionalism the entire time. On top of that, the food was outstanding and the atmosphere was top tier. Truly an unforgettable experience—we are so grateful!”

“In a town of mediocre food & service this was a hidden gem. Cosy restaurant in The Hotel Telluride. Our party of 6 ate here 4 times & all were excellent. Guiseppe was a great host & always managed to find us a table when we arrived without a reservation. Service was quick & he was friendly & attentive. The special of the petit fillet with mash potatoes & asparagus plus a glass of wine for $26 was exceptional value. Dessert was very good as well. They even dropped us home afterwards in their hotel courtesy vehicle. Nice atmosphere in hotel lobby for a pre or after dinner drink in front of the fire. 1 night they had a live guitarist which was very nice. Can't fault the food or service. Would definitely eat here again”

“Fabulous service from Pablo. Very efficient, kind, and attentive. Atmosphere is lovely either indoors or outdoors. The rustic flooring is gorgeous. The booths have wonderful curtains and decor. Bathrooms are very clean. Food was plated beautifully. Overall if I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Thanks Pablo!”

“Fantastic long weekend at Mountain Lodge Telluride. Perfect accommodations, friendly staff, and views out of this world! Steps away from world class skiing and a gondola ride away from some of the best restaurants and unique shopping! 10/10!”

“Caravan’s middle eastern food is absolute fabulous! And plentiful! Fresh & amazingly flavorful food. We had the veggie plate with tabouli, baba ghanouj, hummus, spanakopita, falafel & salad. The owner, David & his wife Diana, went above & beyond & we had one of the best experiences ever at a restaurant. I highly recommend Caravan!!”

“Great Heated Porch dining. Fantastic cocktails and food. Service is excellent. Takeout is also delicious. Our 2023 trip was great. See you next year!”
