Restaurants in Telluride

“This place is 5 stars from start to finish. Walking in, the atmosphere and vibes are immaculate with a really cool interior and two bars both with different but fun settings. The service was great, despite our server having 2 large parties the whole time we were there. However, the food is by far the best part. Not one bad thing was ordered. The edamame was the tastiest I’ve ever had, such a delicious sauce on there with a little kick. The fried chicken rice was unique and flavorful and moist. The brisket ramen dish was incredible and full of flavor with the broth being one of the best parts. Finally, the key lime pie with berry compote was perfection. 10/10 wish I could eat this every day. No notes”

“Best dining experience we had in Telluride. Only a few tables here but had a great experience sitting at the bar. Sydney was such a delightful barkeep and made the best old fashioned I've had in years (which is my go-to drink, so that speaks volumes.) The fresh pasta and asparagus dish was absolutely delicious. We tried to return for another dinner but they were booked the rest of the trip. Highly recommend reservations and it is a MUST when dining in town.”

“Three words: Banana Cream Pie.”

“The new location is absolutely stunning! The food is amazing as well as the staff. We highly recommend The Grand!”

“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”

“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!”

“Just tried this spot for lunch and it was so good. Everything tasted super fresh and homemade, you can tell they really care about the quality of the food. I ordered the pork belly bowl and it was absolutely delicious.

The restaurant itself has such great vibes too, really good music, relaxed atmosphere, and just an overall good energy that makes you want to stay awhile.

Definitely go if you are looking for a healthy lunch that does not sacrifice flavor. I will 100% be back!”

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

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“I sat at the bar and watched the bartender's dominate the peak of dinner service. The restaurant was packed on a Saturday night- however the service and quality of the food was outstanding!”

“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.”

“Side Work is an incredible restaurant. guests are greeted warmly and treated to an exquisitely decadent dining experience. each dish is considered with care and precisely crafted for optimal delight. the employees are inviting and knowledgeable. Side Work is perfect for both special occasions and a Tuesday night happy hour.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“They are the best in the business hands down!! ALWAYS a pleasure running into these two doing their thing over the years.MUCH LOVE💖 🌹 ⚡ 💀 🌈”

“Crazy spot - no food stamps accepted here. Lunch of a life time with my kid Gino, his roommate besty Serada from U of Oregon and her step mom, Macie. Bluebird day - memory of a lifetime. And the snow was juicy as heck.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Floradora Saloon is a fun restaurant with a full bar. There is a beautiful bar with nice stained glass all around. After taking our drink order it took some time for the wait staff to come back around to take our food order. The pickled beet salad was a bit sour but the Apple Brie plate with honey and toast was delicious and beautiful. I would definitely eat there again.”

“OMG, THE CARNITA TACOS with cheese was legit the BOMB! 💣 We went for Valentine's Day all the way from Denver and it was soooooo worth the 6.5 hour drive! Thank you to our girl at the window for excellent customer service and to the chef/cook for your amazing skills...MMMMMMUUAAHHHHH!😋😋💝”

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

“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”

“Crazy Elk is a great spot to grab pizza anytime. Super chill place with really friendly and attentive staff. They’ve got a solid variety of pizzas, and everything we tried was seriously delicious.
We’ll definitely be back. They also have a good selection of beers, and the boxed red wine is a must try!”

“A great place to get cheap drinks and food with friends outside in the beautiful summer weather. Kayla and Billy have great attitudes and have great customer service.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”
