Restaurants in Telluride

[John Picco]

Taco Trailer was excellent as always. Two fish tacos, please.
La Cochina served us a really good lunch.
Smuggler's for appetisers and then dinner on Friday before was super.
Maggies for a large breakfast after the load out, mmmmmm. Steak n eggs.
Prices are more than reasonable for where you are and what you get.

La Cocina was very good.  You order at the counter and then they bring the food to your table, but quality was way above fast food.  We had excellent service there.

Brown Dog was good.  Very crowded and the service was slow, but the Fish & Chips were very good.  I wasn't that crazy about the pizza.

Smugglers food was OK.  Service was good.

The Sweet Life was AWFUL!!  I got a patty melt to go.  When I got back to the condo, I found that the outside of the patty melt hadn't been grilled and the hamburger patty was RAW.  Not rare, but RAW.  I also got a scoop of ice cream and it wasn't very good - kinda grainy and "old" tasting.

Breakfast:
BIT Egg, cheese, and sausage bagels were good, but a little pricey.
Butcher & Baker Breakfast sandwich - egg, cheese, and ham on a big English muffin.  Very good.  I didn't like their breakfast burrito, too much salsa and corn not enough eggs and sausage.
Maggie's BEST BREAKFAST I had in Telluride.

I'm not sure if they were open yet for Bluegrass last year, but:

Zest - high quality sandwhiches, salads, soups, sweets, etc. at very reasonable prices (even for Telluride standards).  They are located above Clark's market next to the visitor center ... they have also been/are professional caterers in the town for a number of years.

..Bistro 221 .. at 221 South Oak st. (near gondola).  Phenomenal food!!  It is a bit pricey.. but more than worth it.  Awesome garden/patio dining, or you can dine inside.  Its a must visit for us now; even if just for coffee and a slice of cheesecake (homemade, of course).

La Cocina De Luz has the best food & coffee in town, almost exclusively organic Mexican fare.  They now have a Mediterranean food cart outside, smoothies and veggie juices inside.  My favorite.  I also think the Brown Dog has great pizza, 2nd in the country for Deep dish Detroit style at a national competition, and the regular is comparable to NY za.  Fortunately most restaurants are clean and good quality.

Let us not forget the luscious tater tots at the Cornerhouse Grill!  And great sandwiches too!

I second La Cocina as being a favorite, but wound up with a green stain on my butt recently ... since the person who just painted the benches outside didn't let them dry long enough!

Breakfast at the Elk's lodge cannot be beat!  I still remember how hungry I was last year and how full and content I left there.

What is recommended for gluten-free fare?  Any restaurants stand out as being gluten-free friendly??

I'm sorry t hear that.  Collectives are difficult to manage.  Forge boldly through the fog.
