Today, Terra Bistro is still considered a leader in the gourmet green movement. Our menus are 100% all – natural and our recipes utilize 85% to 100% certified organic ingredients. Over the years Terra Bistro has also lead the charge to embrace earth - friendly and humane values in operating our business. Our chef diligently seeks ingredients from sustainable sources and humane conditions. All seafood on our menu is Seafood Watch approved and/or a member of the CleanFish Alliance. Terra Bistro employs an in-house state-of-the art water purification and bottling system, which each year prevents thousands of bottles from entering our local landfill.

Thursday was our first night in Vail and we dined at Terra Bistro. My wife and I had reservations and we arrived on time, but still had to wait 15 minutes to be seated, despite the fact that there were open tables available. We were finally seated in the back room with at least 20 other diners and one server.... More

We went to Terra Bistro because of the three-course meal being offered for $39 (Terra Bistro, 352 E. Meadow Dr., Vail, CO 81657, tel. 970-476-6836, web: http://www.terrabistrovail.com/index.html). As usual, we shared one meal and we were so stuffed, we couldn’t even have dessert! We chatted with Rob, at the front of the house when we made our reservation, to make... More

We had a great breakfast at the Terra Bistro associated with the Vail Mountain Lodge and Spa, and the granola was amazing. I asked if it was sold anywhere and they let me buy some from the kitchen and then offered to send me the recipe. I thought there was a small chance that would actually happen...but sure enough a...

We really liked the food in this restaurant. They had some unique items on their menu. We tried dates and chorizo wrapped in bacon from their appetizer menu and it was yummy. For our main course, we tried steak and duck. Their steak was among the best ones I have had for a long time. Finally, the lady who serves... More

Terra bistro proves that you can be politically correct and still serve an excellent meal. Terra Bistro offers a great meal, wonderful & atentive service with an enviromentally friendly mindset. I suspect flavors could be more intense, particularly with the seafood, but probably that would mean eating an endaengered species. What you eat at Terra Bistro is sure good for... More

Had dinner with my wife and brother...The service was friendly and professional. Answered our questions about the dishes. Very nice atmosphere and decor. Not for children. We had starters, salads, main course, dessert and wine. All were very well prepared, cooked perfectly and excellent. It was a little overpriced but was good none the less. I recommend this to anyone... More
