Where to Eat at Biltmore
The months of May and June are some of the very best for visiting the Biltmore Estate. The snapdragons, poppies, and native azaleas are in bloom, leading the way for the roses and rhododendrons toward the end of June. The cool breeze and hot sun, the lush warm grass and the excitement in the air - these and so much more make a visit to the Biltmore Estate an absolute must for locals and visitors alike! And because no trip to the Biltmore is complete without a meal prepared by the Estate’s culinary wizards, the Carolina Mornings Team has put together this short list of some of our favorite Biltmore restaurants.
Dining Room
The Dining Room located in the Inn on Biltmore Estate offers its patrons a semi-formal dining experience with a focus on regional cuisine. Most of the ingredients are sourced directly from the kitchen gardens and all of the meat is estate-raised. Guests will find that the menu is accessible and the experience quite elegant.

Bistro
The Bistro, located in Antler Village, offers guests a delicious and adventurous menu that sources most ingredients from local farms. Open for both lunch and dinner, the Bistro creates sumptuous meals from locally farmed trout and meat, local farmstead cheeses, and local honey. The Bistro won the Open Table Diner’s Choice award for 2015 and restaurant goers will find that it was very justly awarded!

Cedric's
Cedrics, also located in Antler Village, has a warm and inviting atmosphere that pays tribute to the neighborhood pubs of Ireland. The menus feature global cuisine with rich flavors and the Estate’s own microbrews - Cedric’s Pale Ale and Cedric’s Brown Ale. Guests will love the relaxed atmosphere, the view of the village green below, and the live summer music performances.
