"Pub with good bar food".

I enjoyed an excellent dinner at Floradora. I had the salmon dish that was cooked just right while my wife enjoyed the spaghetti squash dinner which also met with two thumbs up. The atmosphere is fun and authentic Telluride. Right on Colorado Avenue the Floradora will become a favorite spot.

We recommend the cobb salad, pizza, and sandwiches. Everything served here is fresh and well prepared. The beers on tap change frequently. We tried and enjoyed several Colorado kolsch beers and all were excellent, fresh, and cold. On our last visit, we had a large group (9 people) and experienced great service by Susan, who was quick, very friendly, and provided separate checks for our large group without asking. This is an excellent choice in Telluride for lunch where you can have a fresh lunch at a reasonable price.

This is my favorite breakfast stop in Telluride. The aroma of freshly baked croissants meets you at the door and tempts you to choose from among the array of baked goods. My favorite breakfast is the wild mushroom sandwich with fresh local oyster mushrooms. It's an active place, lines are not uncommon but the friendly staff and some outdoor seating overlooking a park make it a nice way to start the day.

They were out of many things on menu and then when i asked for specialty drink they were out of the special vodka. Overpriced considering these complaints when expecting a 4-5 star restaurant satisfaction. Pleasant dining area. Beautiful view but not worth the money. The gondala ride up was the best part and it was free

Simply the best and most creative among Telluride's now many upscale restaurants.Pricey, but clearly this is a kitchen dedicated to providing a cuisine that defers to none, and is quite prepared to match the experience it provides with the big culinary dogs of New York or San Francisco.Thank you for your kind words.ElizaChef/Owner

Good food but limited options for breakfast. They have a make-your-own omelet which is why we went here due to dietary restrictions for some in our party. The omelets were good and not too greasy. The added ingredients were plentiful and the side potatoes were good. We also had the French toast stuffed sweet cream cheese. There was so little cream cheese, it felt/tasted like the French toast was not cooked in the middle. We sat outside to enjoy the crisp morning air but the hotel looked beautiful inside.Thank you for joining us at the Chop House for breakfast. I'm sorry to know that your food was not all cooked to perfection but I am happy to hear that it was mostly enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.Ray, GM

Cosmopolitan is in the center of the picturesque resort town in south west Colorado. Like most of Telluride it caters to a high level clientele which knows it's cuisine and knows it well. We found it a delightful spot with great service, a thorough wine list, and creative culinary offerings. The calamari appetizer was, frankly, the hit of the evening with a polynesian sauce lightly applied, but cooked to perfection. Light, fluffy, tasty. The swordfish was as advertised "Hawaiian". The toppings included a lovely pineapply salsa, and the fish served on a generous bed of Japanese black rice. Terrific. The fish was cooked perfectly....mouth watering . The pan roasted duck breast did not fare as well. Though cooked on the inside as requested the outside missed the boat entirely. Odd. Nevertheless....a miss. Soggy. Uninteresting. The sweet potato puree was magnificent.Cosmopolitan is very uptown restaurant in a very uptown resort spot. Service is quietly excellent. There's no rushing through dinner. Prices are mainly in the $30's for non beef entrees. The menu is driven by local vegetables, beef and fish. Fresh and tasty.Parking in Telluride is a bit of a boondoggle. Not costly.

Telluride does not have much nightlife. The Brown Dog was the only place with more than a handful of people at 10 pm on a Saturday night. Drinks are pricey but not out of hand. Filled with Red Sox and Fenway stuff. Lively.
