“This middle eastern/ Mediterranean restaurant offers variety of fresh ingredient food. We got AMAZING Rucola salad, it has nutty flavors with pickled grapes!
For the main course we got grilled trout, and roasted chicken!!! Both great, flavorful, not dry juicy and well cooked!
For dessert Pavlova!
I will definitely go back on my next telluride trip!
This restaurant is small so i recommend reserve before your visit.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“The bowls are sooo yummy. Eggs make me feel sick half the time but I am daydreaming about the way they cook their eggs. The honey sriracha is delicious as well. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend for a yummy and affordable breakfast!“

“Side Work was amazing for dinner last night. We had a dozen coldwater oysters, a great bottle of Rioja, first-class fried green tomatoes with crab, salmon, mixed seafood paella, pork steak, and two desserts (flourless chocolate cake and cherry pie, both made in-house). All of the food and service was excellent. It’s now one of our top three choices in Telluride, alongside La Marmotte and Kazahana. Was our fourth visit. We can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

“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“

“I've been eating at Big Billies for over 10 years when I take my kids skiing. And you know, I don't have very high expectations. There will be burgers and fries and chicken fingers. But last weekend, wow! Not only do they have the salad bar (which is really pretty extensive, and had a very nice woman conscientiously making my salad) but also sides of grilled tempeh!? And grilled tofu?! Plus, the chef in the open kitchen, who I discovered is named Romaine, was absolutely kind and loving in her every interaction with diners. The women behind the counter were all friendly and helpful and positive. Honestly, it was a great experience! So much so that I thought, dang, I better go write a review. Nice Job, Big Billies!!!!“

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

“Literally THE best wedding food I’ve ever had. We hired them for my daughter’s wedding. Everyone, I mean everyone at the wedding raved. Just hire them. You will not be disappointed.“

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

“We visited the Floradora Saloon after a long day of chasing fall colors. Turned out to be a great choice. Our party of 3 all had the filet, mashed potatoes and asparagus. Every element of the meal was spectacular. Our server, Austin, was personable and attentive and went the extra mile to take care of us. We will definitely be back while staying in Telluride for the week.“

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

“i went here yesterday and i just have to say the white mocha was absolutely delicious. The inside is beautiful as well and they have a lot on the menu. I recommend.“

“Darius was awesome. Highly recommend the lamb chops, had them along with a glass of blanc for the wife and Darius made an amaretto sour that was amazing. Dinner menu was a bit different than what was presented on the website but the quality of what we ordered made up for it 10 fold.“
