Welcome to a reimagined culinary experience on the third floor of The Terrace Hotel
A Familiar Favorite Returns with Fresh New Flavor
The Lakeside Bistro is back to invite you to slow down, spend time together, and savor hyper-local Appalachian plates. Located on the third floor of the historic Terrace Hotel, our completely reimagined space pairs casual indoor dining and fresh patio seating with sweeping, panoramic views of Lake Junaluska and the surrounding Blue Mountains. From hand-breaded Buttermilk Fried Chicken to innovative, slow-steeped botanical mocktails, every dish carries forward Lake Junaluska’s long-standing tradition of Christian hospitality—offering a welcoming table for everyone, without exception.
From the Menu
Start your meal with shared plates built for gathering, featuring our signature Cathead Biscuits with buckwheat butter, house pimento cheese, and crisp local greens. Savor honest, plated Southern entrees like Pan-Seared Mountain Trout with Carolina Gold rice, Cast Iron Chicken & Dumplings, or slow-cooked Brisket Ribs. Explore our curated list of herb-steeped mocktails and simple pours, mindfully crafted with ingredients like chamomile, ginger, and smoked honey to support clarity and rest.
