With all the fun and activity, from snow sports to white-water rafting in the summer, you’re bound to hear your stomach growl. Take your taste buds on a trip through Telluride while you explore the town and the best places to eat in Telluride, too.
Head to Baked in Telluride for any meal of the day. Whether it’s for lunch before heading to your next activity or you’re looking for something simple for dinner, you’ll find your solution with something from the menu. Breakfast options include breakfast croissants, bagels, and more. Rotating lunch and dinner menus offer tuna empanadas, deli sandwiches, soup and salad, comfort foods like meatloaf, house made spaghetti and meatballs, Mexican fare, pizza, and more.
No matter what meal of the day you need – a hearty breakfast, a refueling lunch, or a relaxing dinner – you’ll find something you crave on the menu at Black Iron Kitchen and Bar. Rise and shine with breakfast smoothies, omelets, steel cut oats, lemon pancakes, and more accompanied by traditional breakfast sides like organic eggs, house made sausage, bacon, and all your favorites. Stop in for lunch for a salad, BLT, burger, cast iron soup, or Rocky Mountain Elk Chili. Relax after a long day with a dinner of braised Colorado lamb shank, Rocky Mountain Elk chop, sockeye salmon, or free-range stuffed chicken.
Choose from their gluten-friendly pizzas, meat or vegetarian lasagna, subs like Mama’s Meatball sub, and a variety of wraps. Choose classic American pizzas in 10”, 14”, or 18” sizes. Add traditional toppings like pepperoni, Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, and others. Mix things up with black olives, jalapenos, artichoke hearts, grilled chicken, and more. Please note all pizza is made in the same kitchen and same ovens, so completely gluten-free cannot be guaranteed.
The Chop House at New Sheridan Hotel
The New Sheridan Hotel has been at the heart of Telluride since 1895, and their restaurant offers delicious dishes for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Choose from brunch and lunch options like steel cut oatmeal, classic French toast, chilaquiles, and more. Add on breakfast sides like bacon, sausage, or fresh fruit. Come for lunch for French onion or wild mushroom soup, a wagyu burger, turkey club, or salad. End the day with vegetarian dishes, Scottish salmon, chicken cordon bleu, or even filet mignon or prime New York strip.
Take a trip to France without leaving Telluride. Choose from an array of appetizers with a French twist, or a variety of seasonal soups and salads. For the main course, you can choose from short rib provencal, coq au vin, or prime beef striploin. Lighter fare includes salmon poele, Colorado trout amandine, or whole-roasted cauliflower for something unique for vegetarians.
Enjoy a taste of the South! Hickory smoked brisket, pulled chicken, and Carolina smoked pulled pork shoulder and just a few of the delicious sandwiches on the menu. Enjoy entrees full of Southern comfort like half- or full-rack pork ribs, BBQ or fried chicken, or gumbo and mac and cheese. You can even choose to conquer a ¼, ½, or whole grilled chicken topped with house made BBQ sauce. If you’re looking for something lighter, try ziti and black beans, potato and black bean sauté, and a variety of other veggie and pasta dishes.
It’s your place for authentic Italian in Telluride. Pasta dishes include spaghetti, rigatoni, fettuccine, and homemade ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese, among others. There are a variety of risotto dishes to choose from, too, before savoring entrees like free-range chicken, steak veal, and fish. If you’d rather taste some delicious Italian-style pizzas, the limited selection is still the best in town. Boscaiola pizza features mozzarella, roasted Rustico homemade sausage, mushrooms, and roasted bell peppers. For something a little more familiar, try margherita pizza with mozzarella, marinara, and oregano.
