We arrived at 8:50 on Saturday morning and they didn’t come to take our food order until 9:25 as we were leaving. They did get us coffee and came back and checked on us multiple times, but they kept telling us they’d be back to take our order. We finally got hungry and frustrated enough we decided to go around the corner to get breakfast.

Stopped for brunch. The service was amazing and the food was even more amazing. I spoke with the chef who told me how he made the pancake syrup from scratch! OMG! SOOOO GOOD! Super great place, can't wait to go back!

Chef Michael crushes breakfast - the biscuits are my personal kryptonite. The scrambled eggs with blue corn tortillas are a close second. Sorry. Not sorry but we slammed down the breakfast before thinking to take a picture of same.

This restaurant was a bit dissapointing. The crowd that was hanging out there seemed a little rough (swearing, heavy drinking) the night we were there with our 2 children. There seemed to be a lot dust too that triggered my allergies. The airline chicken dish was delicious! The seats near the fireplace seemed a bit nicer but not much for views.

Three of us had an absolutely fabulous dinner at the BBTavern Friday evening. The tavern was very cozy and the staff attentive to every detail. I recommend the salmon, but my son had a most amazing filet mignon... and the calamari was some of the best I've ever had. Based on the dinner experience, I tried a Goldilox Bagel at the Cafe the next morning and was blown away. Apparently the bagels are homemade and are really amazing! I guess I will be back every morning I'm here trying a different bagel combination... Oh, and try the cappuccino - perfection!

Among other things, we'd ordered 2 Veggie Bear bagels and 2 lattes (I'll come to the lattes later), one with chive schmear and one plain. When we got the food, it was both chives. I can't stand chives so I went to the counter (no one was there for a good 3 to 4 mins). Then when one of the baristas came to the counter I told her. She didn't apologize or anything and on top of that said disbelievingly that "My ticket had both chives". I insisted politely that no matter what her ticket said, I'd asked for plain. She brusquely took the bagel from my hand and threw it into the garbage bin. Of course, no one was going to eat it, but it was evident from the way she took it and threw it that she didn't believe me and was irked that a paying customer was asking for what he'd already paid for. How dare he?! Later, another barista (the one who'd actually taken out order and who later admitted that she mistakenly entered the wrong order) gave me the correct bagel. Meanwhile, not seeing any work being done on the coffee front, I asked for our lattes. It was pretty evident that they'd forgotten about it. The nicer one made one and gave it to me. Due to the earlier bagel snafu and also the reminder I had to give her for the coffee, I asked if she had another one coming. To this, the one with the bad attitude replied in a condescending tone, "We can only make one at a time, sir!" I told her that her attitude was unwarranted. I was going to further explain that their earlier snafus were why I was making sure, that's all, but my wife stopped me. After all this, the one with the bad attitude says to me "We're all doing the best we can sir, it's Christmas Eve." Well I appreciate that it is Christmas Eve, but that doesn't give you carte blanche to be pissy towards your customers. It also is not that you're doing your customers any favors, you're working there of your own free will. I would avoid this place if I could help it.

I asked for tea to drink. Hot and cold were listed on the menu. The waiter said, “That’s not an option tonight. They forgot to send us some.” Not off to a great start. The waiter brought our food, very large portions, and said they ran out of the big bowls to serve them in. So our large pasta dishes and chicken were crammed into a dog bowl. The small bowls were overflowing and it was difficult to eat without making a mess. But the table next to us was served with big bowls just five minutes later. Additionally the chicken was dry and overcooked, the pesto sauce was just some olive oil w specks of Cale. Wasn’t worth the money.

Best dining hands down in Taos Ski Valley. Service has been consistently good during my several visits this season. This is in a ski resort town where dining options are limited and service challenges abound at other establishments. Not great for large groups (> 8), given their small dining room. I strongly recommend reservations as demand is high and they have a limited sized dining room. Bar scene is very good, and can be quite lively aprés ski. I eat here every time I’m up.

“Fine” dining? That would at least imply better than the mediocre, expensive, terribly drawn-out process of getting dinner here. My party of 4 was seated at a very uncomfortable high-top table at 7:30 and we didn’t make it out of there til 9:10. The server only stopped by our table every 15 minutes or so and had to be told we wanted to order food or refills on empty water glasses. The hot chocolate tasted like it was just a packet with water added - the Bavarian has a much better recipe. The service here was exceedingly slow and inadequate. There were only 4 other parties there but when our food came out, it was one dish at a time as if the kitchen had no clue our 4 dishes went together… so the food was cold! The pasta was not very exciting either. The only redeeming quality of this restaurant was the hot caprese dip, which was delicious… but OF COURSE only came with about 1/3 the amount of bread you’d need to eat it as a dip! When I asked for more bread to finish the dip, the waitress acted like it was a big deal that they would charge more for bread. I was like seriously… we’ve been out of bread and this dip has been getting cold for 15 minutes and you haven’t even walked by once. Anywho, highly do not recommend this place. Go to Taos Ale House instead! Eat their wonderful pizza. Blonde Bear is definitely a no-go.

The best dinner in Taos, right now. We had the kale and fennel salad, steak, and chicken saltimbocca. The steak was a little salty, but that was our only complaint. Service is friendly and attentive, good drinks, and a nice atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back. (Traducido por Google) La mejor cena en Taos, ahora mismo. Teníamos la ensalada de col rizada e hinojo, bistec y saltimbocca de pollo. El bistec estaba un poco salado, pero esa fue nuestra única queja.

This is my second season at Taos Ski Valley and the Blonde Bear may be my favorite place for dinner on the mountain with 192 at the Blake a close second. I do remember having a good meal at the Bavarian many, many years ago when I visited and will need to get back there at some point. Tim's Stray Dog remains a local favorite, and many people enjoy the food at the Snakedance, particularly for lunch, but I don't love the atmosphere.

Decided to try the Blonde Bear on the recommendations of some other guests at the Edelweiss who raved about it. We expected some really great food but our meals were just average. We won't return, but YMMV. I ordered the sliced flat iron steak which was accompanied by a few small roasted carrots and a baked potato. The steak was small and barely warm, but flavorful. The carrots were fine but also just warm. The potato was microwaved, not baked, with a soggy exterior and nothing else besides some butter and sour cream on the side. The wife had the chicken pot pie which was just a small bowl of chicken stew with some puff pastry on top. She said the flavor was average but it was sparse on chicken and very heavy on large, unpleasant tasting mushrooms. One child had the beef over noodles which had big, tender chunks of beef. Another child had the pasta with meatballs. She said it was good, but instead of meatballs it was just a few small pieces of ground beef. Another child had the burger and fries which were both good, although they nickle and dime you for cheese or any other toppings. Service was friendly but overall the meal was just ok for the prices.

I love this restaurant! We have gone here over the last four years and went at the start of the ski season for a birthday dinner with our whole family and had an incredible meal! The staff especially John, Kerri and Sid took incredible care of us and I think it is the best restaurant in Taos ski Valley. We went back 10 days later since we had such a great experience and tried different things on the menu which were all excellent. The bone in ribeye is one of the best steaks I’ve ever had! I’m very impressed with The menu that the chef has created. I recommend this restaurant to anyone that is staying in Taos Ski valley.

Volvimos 10 días después, ya que tuvimos una gran experiencia y probamos diferentes cosas en el menú, todas excelentes. ¡El hueso en chuletón es uno de los mejores bistecs que he probado!

We were in Taos in 2018, when there was practically no snow, and businesses were hurting. We ate a couple of meals in the Edelweiss to spread some business around and for a change from our hotel restaurant. We were in Taos this year, when there was snow and businesses were busy. We again went to the Edelweiss Blonde Bear for a change of pace from our hotel restaurant. Seating was available, but we weren't seated as the manager had said "He was resting the kitchen staff." I will rest the kitchen staff on all future Taos visits...

The food is good, however, they don't allow add of protein to salad, that was strange to me. Had the beef stew, which came with pasta, delicious dish, just too much food for me. They have a game room as you enter, the Foosball table is free, but you do have to pay to play the pool games. There's also a piano in case it strikes your mood, kids love to hang out there.

Great dining experience. Popped in the storefront of cafe naranja, expecting a quaint coffee shop. Was led back to the dining room (which I believe is mostly used for The Blonde Bear dinner guests) and was pleasantly surprised. Menu covered all of the classic breakfast staples with a few New Mexican twists: Breakfast sandwiches, bfast burritos, granola, huevos rancheros, green chili biscuits & gravy, eggs & meat, etc. The croissant sandwich was good sized, and croissant tasted freshly made. The green chili biscuits and gravy lived up to their expectations and more. Cheddar biscuits were light and fluffy, while the gravy was thick and layered with green chili. Had a good enough kick to wake you up in the morning, but not send you home right away 😉. We got to taste the red chili, and that one is slightly more debilitating (according to my husband - I stayed clear). Service was fast and friendly. (Traducido por Google) Gran experiencia culinaria. Aparecí en la tienda de café naranja, esperando una cafetería pintoresca. Me llevaron de regreso al comedor (que creo que se usa principalmente para los invitados a la cena de The Blonde Bear) y me sorprendió gratamente. El menú cubría todos los alimentos básicos clásicos del desayuno con algunos toques de Nuevo México: sándwiches de desayuno, burritos de desayuno, granola, huevos rancheros, bizcochos de chile verde y salsa, huevos y carne, etc. El sándwich de croissant era de buen tamaño y el croissant sabía recién hecho. . Las galletas de chile verde y la salsa estuvieron a la altura de sus expectativas y más. Las galletas Cheddar eran ligeras y esponjosas, mientras que la salsa era espesa y estaba cubierta con chile verde. Tenía una patada lo suficientemente buena como para despertarte por la mañana, pero no enviarte a casa de inmediato 😉. Llegamos a probar el chile rojo, y ese es un poco más debilitante (según mi esposo, me quedé claro). El servicio fue rápido y amigable.

Dinners here (and breakfasts at Cafe Naranja) are a significant step up from usual ski fare— in the same league as the St. Bernard, IMHO. (Traducido por Google) Las cenas aquí (y los desayunos en Café Naranja) son un paso significativo respecto a la tarifa habitual de esquí, en la misma liga que el St. Bernard, en mi humilde opinión.

This is a great little restaurant in the bottom of the Edelweiss Condos. It's warm and inviting and has an excellent European-style menu. Good wine list also. We love this place.

I was afraid with only a couple restaurants to choose from that the quality would suffer, but this was as very very good place. Ravioli with cream sauce was pasta of the day and it was fantastic. Sautéed chicken and steak were also good.
