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.

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.

    We highly recommend the mussels. The lamb special was absolutely amazing. The meat fell off the bone. The vegetables and accompanying purée/sauces were excellent. The Crème brulee is also highly recommended. It’s been a while since we ate here so we’re glad we decided to celebrate a birthday at Biltmore’s Bistro. The food, service and lively ambiance were all excellent.

    I had the filet and my wife had the ribeye . Mine was fine, my wife’s was terrible. Hers was thin and gray, with almost no flavor. She didn’t finish it and the server had it removed (we didn’t ask, he simply did it, which was nice). The problem with the Bistro is they simply have you hostage unless you get in your car and travel outside of the grounds. Because of that, the prices don’t reflect the quality of what you get. Filet $62 Ribeye $65 Caesar salad $15 (each) Cheese board $30 I’m not cheap and certainly have spent way more than this on a meal before, but the food here simply isn’t worth it.

    Service was very good and the food was too. It’s not quite up to what I’ve come to expect from this restaurant, but after everything Asheville has been through, it was still an overall experience.

    Consistently excellent food, service and ambience. I have an annual pass to the Biltmore Estate, which grants access to the restaurant as well as the house and gardens, and have found this to be such a nice experience to share with those visiting me. Highly recommend the Bistro!
