We have been visiting Blowing Rock for years and just found Bistro Roca. It's a little off the main street but what a great surprise. We stopped there on our way out of town to the Charlotte airport. There were 7 of us and we didn't have a lot of time but they were very accommodating and the food was... More

Very laid back atmosphere. Fresh ingredients & so yummy. We go here twice when we're in town. You can also dine outside on the screened in porch.

We have good friends that live in Newland, NC and when we visit we always go to see what is new in Blowing Rock. We had a delightful and tasty lunch at the Bistro Roca. The fireplace was going and we could see the pizza oven. The food was so good, service was exceptional and the Mac and Cheese was... More

We were visiting Blowing Rock in Feb and asked the locals where to have a great lunch. They recommended Bistro Roca and we thoroughly enjoyed this place. Service was exceptional and food was great. We highly recommend this place.

Heard rave reviews, so we went with our son and his girlfriend to celebrate the end of their school year at App State. Because of the ratings, we figured we'd need a reservation even for a Thursday night. Good thing we made one! When we arrived, there was absolutely no parking places and the restaurant was packed. After driving around... More

We visited for lunch in May, and I was enchanted by the menu. There were many different selections, and all of them were unique. This place is certainly not your run-of-the-mill chain food place, and we were delighted with our experience. The server was very knowledgeable about the food items, and made suggestions that turned out to be excellent. Delighted... More

My friends and I dined here on a Saturday night. The mountain trout over grits was phenomenal! The grits were creamy and perfectly accompanied the fish, along with grilled asparagus and a salad. Bistro Roca is a must do for me each time I am in the high country.

We discovered this by recommendation from a friend in Winston-Salem and have come to find that we were the only ones who hadn't heard of this amazing restaurant in Blowing Rock. It's "off the strip" but only by a block or two. (Clearly far enough for us to not have stumbled upon it before.) The food was off the hook,... More

We ate at Bistro Roca on a Monday evening in the off season. The atmosphere is very intimate with low lighting and club or high back leather chairs. We were greeted promptly and shown to our table. Specials are on a separate sheet of paper. The wine list has selections in all price ranges. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the... More
