Stable Cafe at Biltmore Estate

Stable Cafe at Biltmore Estate

Located just next to the Biltmore House in the old carriage house, the Stable Cafe is unique in that it used to be a stable. Diners have the opportunity to eat in renovated horse stalls, which really add to the atmosphere. The staff match the atmosphere, being friendly and outgoing. They'll even offer to take your photo if they notice you have your camera out.

The menu is pretty large and changes seasonally. The items are somewhat expensive, with a basic burger starting at $10. However, the food is very good. My group had chicken, which was literally fall-off-the-bone tender, and an excellent, very creamy quiche. Beverages range from Coke to wine.

If you're looking for a sit down meal at Biltmore, this is about as cheap as it gets. But considering the atmosphere, friendly staff and great food, you're getting your money's worth.

Stable Cafe at Biltmore Estate

Ever dined in a refurbished horse stall from the turn of last century? Well here's your chance: make a stop at the Stable Cafe at the Biltmore Estate and enjoy fine fare near old troughs. This dining experience will match any of your favorites, if extremely fresh ingredients and simple southern flair are what you look for. Most all the ingredients from potatoes, herbs, and peas, to beef, wine, and berries are grown right on the estate—you can't get much fresher than that—and it shows in the exquisite taste! The servers will be more than happy to explain to you the "field-to-table" philosophy observed by the Stable Cafe, and will also recommend any specials that Chef Don Spear has creatively prepared.

The daily menu includes a variety of dishes from farm-raised beef brisket, homemade potato soup, field greens salad, and world-class buttermilk pie. Even a vegetarian can find several options to fill their appetite, including vegetable soups, a mix of salads, vegetarian quiche and spinach pie. The standard operating times are from 11am to 4pm and is a nice, moderately-priced stop at around $10 per plate for exceptional food. If you visit during the Christmas Candlelight nights, the Stable also serves a dinner menu (complete with candlelight as well) with reservations required!

Good portions, surprisingly reasonable prices for a touristy spot, the soup of the day was excellent. Don't go for the vegetarian dish, though - very bland.
