Stable Cafe Menu (Update 2025)
Welcome to Stable Cafe, a culinary gem nestled within the scenic grounds of Asheville's renowned Biltmore Estate. This charming restaurant, once a stable, combines rustic charm with modern comfort, offering an inviting atmosphere perfect for any occasion.
Stable Cafe’s menu is a delightful blend of seasonal flavors and comforting classics. Diners rave about the Fire-Roasted Corn and Potato Chowder and the indulgent Beef Bourguignon, braised to perfection in cabernet sauce. For lighter fare, try the barbecue sampler or the refreshing strawberry salad.
Desserts are a highlight, particularly the coconut cream pie, though opinions vary on others like the red velvet cake. Despite mixed reviews, the overall experience, complemented by friendly service, leaves patrons eagerly planning their return. Whether you're visiting for lunch or a sweet treat, Stable Cafe promises a memorable dining experience.
