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!
