Update: Not sure how TEN years have gone by since our last visit but we had a wonderful brunch here Sunday 1/26/24. One of the best meals I've had in a long time. EVERYthing was delicious, from the warm bread with pimento cheese & bacon jam (OMG bacon jam) to the wonderfully tender biscuits with gravy and top-tier French toast. Bloody Marys were a meal in themselves and the whole thing was made better by our delightful server Jess (?). Cannot recommend this enough. Also a bit off the beaten path in Blowing Rock- sort of behind the park - with its own parking lot. Just an excellent experience.

We have been visiting Blowing Rock several times a year for the last 12 years. Last fall was the first time we came across bistro Roca. It has awesome food choices and the mountain style ambience is amazing. This restaurant is off the main thoroughfare and you pretty much have to know about it in order to find it. It's presence on Yelp helped us out. We've had great service every time we've visited in the past six months. We'll definitely enjoy this establishment on a regular basis.

Went here for our anniversary and loved it. Service was great, and food was all worth the price. Heads up that the parking lot is brutal. We had to park at a deck a block away because there was no parking at the restaurant, both when we arrived and when we departed.

Our family loved our recent visit to this homey, rustic, farm-to-table restaurant near downtown Blowing Rock. Bistro Roca feels like a log cabin deep in the North Carolina high country, with a roaring hearth, cozy booths and a bar that looks like a Scottish tavern. Dog lovers will adore the 'family' portraits that adorn the walls, and wine connoisseurs will love the extensive selection of Reds, Whites and everything in between. There's also a terrific list of local brews on tap, as well as an impressive menu of cocktails. The dinner entrees range from burgers and wood fired pizzas to steaks, salads and fish. My plate of Mountain Trout was delicious, and our kids shared a pizza that was big enough for 3. Service was outstanding throughout our visit, and the restaurant is close enough to downtown to be reached in a short walk. If you come in the summer or early fall, be sure to ask for a table on the spacious screened porch. Bistro Roca is a place we'll be visiting whenever we stay in Blowing Rock. Highly recommended!

Food was outstanding. Service with a smile was also outstanding. The occasion of out 60th wedding anniversary was made special by our lovely waitress.

Always a favorite and good choice in Blowing Rock. The fig and prosciutto appetizer is consistently good. Really enjoyed the Roca appetizer sampler of bread and spreads. Soup is consistently great as is the bread. If you find yourself in Blowing Rock, I think you will enjoy the restaurant.

Bistro Roca is our Sunday Brunch go to spot when in Blowing Rock. Upscale ambience with eclectic choices on the menu make us go outside our comfort zone of choosing typical bacon and eggs breakfast. Service is fine given that it is a very busy and very popular destination. On this latest visit, the lettuce wrapped pork bbq style appetizer was clearly the table favorite. The brisket Benedict was the least favorite meal. While the meat was tender and cooked well, the portion served was very fatty and offset the rest of the flavor. The crab Benedict was the much better choice. Reservations are recommended busy home game and peak season weekends.

Ok so first time in Blowing Rock and we love it. Bistro Roca is amazing - our server Lilly and the General Manager Mel made our dinner experience perfect - we will be back.

This restaurant again served wonderful and delicious food well prepared and well served by our waitress Isabella (Bella to her friends). Added on a few years ago is an extension for more seating, obviously needed at the time of our reservation. For us, I selected a wine ($44 a bottle), Lola, from the California vineyard of the same name. I had never heard of The Vineyard but was quite satisfied with this Chardonnay which was soft on the pilot with a pineapple and almond taste would be my best guess. For my meal, I had the Black and Blue ribeye, which came on a shelf of mashed potatoes and crispy fried onions on top. The steak was cooked to perfection, as requested, a medium that is pink and warm in the middle. As the photo shows it was a large cut, delicious to the last bite, which drink some dying as I was hungry but it was a bit of a struggle to finish it all. You can tell that it was well charred on the extreme edges, with the char enhancing the tender meat. Oh yes, a place to dine, somewhat off the beaten path in Blowing Rock. Reservations are required. Eating in the bar is also enjoyable, but we ate in the large dining room at a table for two. Despite the 80+ temperature outside, our seating area was quite cool, but not chilly.

Ordered the beyond burger and Mac and cheese. Good flavor nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked. The Mac was nicely done as well. The trout was lacking in flavor for some reason it was very bland
