Petite Maison

A short walk from the Telluride gondola, Petite Maison occupies a small, intimate building where the dining room feels just as exclusive as the menu. French-inspired cuisine defines the kitchen, with dishes like coq au vin praised for its tender meat and root vegetable balance, and pappardelle appearing in both classic and vegan mushroom variations. The bar area, often occupied by attentive staff like Sydney, serves as a social hub for cocktails such as the smooth cider margarita and classic old fashioned. Appetites are satisfied by escargot, oysters, and steak frites during happy hour, while main courses like lamb lollipops and sea bass with parsnip anchor the dinner service. Desserts, specifically profiteroles and chocolate mousse, provide a sweet finish to the meal. Reservations are essential given the limited seating and high demand, making it a staple for visitors seeking a memorable culinary experience in the valley.
