TERROIR Bistro

The lamb chops were the best I have ever had. Served over a very tasty (and different) bed of vegetables. My wife had the morel mushroom pasta (a seasonal special), and it was wonderful. No leftovers from our dinner!!! Truly unique were the fried castelvetrano olives. My wife never eats olives, but these were an exception. I would go back just for this dish!! Enough to serve 3 or 4 as an appetizer. Interesting wine list with reasonable prices and some entry level values. Our new favorite dinner spot in Boise!!

What a lovely little restaurant in the middle of Boise! Even though it’s smallish our party of 11 felt comfortable, and well served. Starting with the fried olives, sampling all the entrees, and desserts, everyone loved it. The food is exceptional, chef Nate is top-line. Worth driving into downtown to experience this fine restaurant.

Service was excellent, with intimate atmosphere. Fried olives, radish cake, missing dirt salad were excellent. Steak tartare was ok, but meat overpowered by lemon and mustard. Steak frites was too heavy on salt, and overpriced for quality. Fries with tartare and frites were soggy and oversalted. Lamb was ok, but not exceptional. Overall a nice experience, but not exceptional.

Terroir Bistro is an absolute treasure in Boise! The menu is creative and seasonal, highlighting the best local ingredients with flavors that are both bold and perfectly balanced. Every dish feels like a work of art—beautifully plated and even better tasting. The service is impeccable: warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about the food they serve. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, making it perfect for a romantic night out or a special occasion. If you’re a true food lover looking for a memorable dining experience, Terroir Bistro is a must-visit!

Every flavor combination was perfect. The beef tartare worked perfectly as an entree and the flavors were incredible. Then the espresso and dessert were an exceptional ending

Absolutely fantastic experience. Went with our two kids, 6 and 8, and our server had the perfect balance of tending to their bs demands and questions while giving us excellent food and drink recommendations (don’t judge us, we’re still teaching etiquette) 😅🙌🫶 We had the fried olives, short ribs, sablefish, and fried chicken. Detail was given to each dish and ingredient - the dishes had a classic but elevated feel. The potato salad that came with the fried chicken had a unique vinegary but creamy dressing. The sauce on the short ribs had a tang of red curry and fresh thai basil garnish. The fish was in a light but deeply flavorful broth. The outdoor patio area was delightful. All in all it was a 10/10.

Absolutely loved our evening at Terroir! My work team met for a celebratory dinner after a long week, and we were blown away by the fabulous food, fun location, relaxing atmosphere, and did I say fabulous food?! Seriously, do yourself a favor and order EVERYTHING because every morsel was so delicious. This will be a new favorite for a night out!

Had a wonderful experience for dinner. The restaurant's decor is quirky and interesting. We loved the mismatched silverware. Beers were reasonably priced and delicious. They don't serve full pints, but instead 12 ounce pours. I prefer the smaller pours and because the drinks are inexpensive you can try a few. The service was fantastic. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Food was fantastic, we started with the fried olives, then shared the steak and mushroom risotto. Both were amazing. We had the apple cake for desert and that was delicious as well. Terroir is a gem in Boise and should be on your list of restaurants to visit.
