When you find yourself in Boise, there is one restaurant you absolutely must visit – Barbacoa. This fine-dining establishment in Idaho not only features the most unique and unforgettable atmosphere, but the food here is so good, it basically has a cult following. If you are looking for a unique place to eat and an unforgettable dining experience in Idaho, Barbacoa is it.
Barbacoa is one of the more well-known restaurants in Boise and after you have been here once, you’ll quickly understand why.
As you walk inside, you’ll notice that this restaurant isn’t like many others in Treasure Valley. The décor in this restaurant is one-of-a-kind and adds to the entire dining experience.
In fact, every area of this restaurant has something pretty incredible to look at. From the details in the booths to the unique light fixtures, the atmosphere is definitely extraordinary.
But it isn’t only the atmosphere that is incredible at Barbacoa, it is also the menu. No matter what you order, the plates are large and extremely filling. Plus, they are packed with mouthwatering flavors and beautifully presented.
You can always start your meal with an appetizer. There are options like shrimp cocktail and a BBQ duck quesadilla. But, one of the most highly recommended options is the table-side guacamole. The guacamole is made right at your table and there is enough to serve to two to four individuals.
However, the one menu item that causes many individuals to come back over and over again is the Hot Rock Filet. This entree is Barbacoa’s signature 10-ounce filet mignon with flamed cognac sauce and it is delicious.
To complete the meal, you can also choose from more than a dozen side dishes, allowing you to give your taste buds a tantalizing experience. No wonder this restaurant has such a cult following.
Try to save some room for dessert. Not only will you have a treat that is delightful but it is also presented in the most incredible way — just look at that cotton candy!
