"Modern takes on French classics like steak frites and chicken Lyonnaise share space on the menu at Terroir Bistro with wild-caught sablefish in miso broth and silky smoked sturgeon. It’s helmed by Nate Whitley and Remi Courcenet, who started working together more than a decade ago at the Modern Hotel and Bar, where Whitley was a James Beard semifinalist. The duo have evolved Terroir over the years, starting as a butchery, then a supper club at a wine store, then a food trailer at a winery, and now a permanent location on Boise’s 8th Street restaurant row." - Scott Ki

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! My daughter has been wanting to try the Terroir Bistro since we fell in love with their food at the Boise Farmers Market. We finally went last night. I woke up today already looking forward to going back! Thank you to the Terroir staff and owners for caring about your place! Our waiter was so good! We appreciated his hospitality, attentiveness, it not over intrusive. Superb, welcoming, and made us want to return. We ordered and shared EVERYTHING on the food menu! There are many GF options! My family and I all had different rankings of what we liked best, but Everything was top notch! My personal favorites were: Ouefs (and I don't really care for eggs) Fried olives Cheese plate had a light Blue cheese that was Mmmm! Delicatta squash salad Country pate! Steak Tartar - just try it! Daikon Radish Cake Lentil salad Mushroom risotto Beef paprikas Lamb Mousaka Steak Frites TRULY ENJOYED IT ALL!

All the positive reviews are warranted. What a special place that has quickly become "home" for me. Each dish is so thoughtful and intentional, with outstanding service to boot. Atmosphere is cozy and intimate; perfect for a solo experience or with loved ones. Sometimes I daydream about the mushroom risotto and the lamb. I want to try everything, and I plan on it! Thank you for your outstanding contributions to our community. Places like TERROIR make feel proud to live in Boise.

The sablefish was wonderfully done. The steak frites was on the salty side, we think it was the sauce it was served in, flavour was there and the steak was very tender. We had a great night over all!

I have dined here many times with my son (it’s one of his favorites) and we always enjoy our dining experience. I love the lamb moussaka. Get there early because it does sell out. We especially enjoy dining al fresco during the warmer months.

Everything down to the baseboards are cool about this place. The food: order the sablefish. The world would be a better place if everyone ate this dish

Excellent service and atmosphere. We sat at a comfortable outside table. It was a little chilly and the staff brought out a gas heater for us. We ordered two appetizers and two entrees - all exceeded expectations in both taste and presentation. Would recommend for those looking for a unique menu and tasteful dining experience.

This restaurant is an absolute delight! As a foodie from Portland, this place hit all the marks. The service was warm and friendly, with just the right touch. The atmosphere was posh but approachable, just a little funky in a very cool way. The menu was nicely compact with good portion sizes. I had their steak tartar and it was absolutely stellar! I'll be thinking about those fried olives all the way back to Portland.

We LOVED our meal here. The daikon radish cake appetizer was incredible. All of the food we had was great, and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend for a nice dinner in Boise!
