The Bistro is located on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate, right next door to Biltmore's award-winning winery. Please be aware that you must have a valid paid estate admission ticket, be staying at Inn on Biltmore Estate or Village Hotel, or be a Biltmore Annual Passholder to dine on property. Please note that due to limited seating availability we are unable to accept reservations for our patio. All patio seating is assigned on a first come first served basis.

The Bistro features contemporary American fare. Fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients are the focus on the dinner menu, which features premium steaks, impeccable mountain trout and seafood, poultry and lamb. Gardens on the estate produce a wide array of vegetables and fruits throughout the seasons, and our extensive pasture lands provide all-natural, hormone-free Black Angus beef and lamb.

    What a fantastic place to eat! It was very busy as it was 2 days after Christmas. The filet mignon was the best I ever ate. Almost soft enough to cut with a fork. And the flavors! The "house wine" and the appetizers were also the greatest. Can't say enough good about this place.

    After many years of having Christmas dinner at the Bistro and a break of few years from not being able to get reservations, I was very disappointed. What I had, prime rib (generous portions and fine) but ordinary mashed potatoes and unidentified greens, poached pears (which were nothing like other versions that I’ve had in French restaurants and not memorable), and German chocolate cake (absolutely average and dry), I was very disappointed , the service was great but the meal over priced and not memorable.

    The setting was lovely and the entrees, appetizers were very good. The desert was a German chocolate cake which was the worst ideation of a German chocolate cake I have ever eaten. The cake was very dry the filling was dry and paste like and the icing tasted like sugar filling shortening. For 125/person you would have expected the end of the meal to be memorable. The service was very good. So it will be awhile before I try this again. I have eaten here before and did not remember this being the experience. Also the main course halibut was super small like 4 -5 ounces. Again for that price you would have expected 7-8.
