This Mountaintop Restaurant Serves Some Of The Best Chili In Virginia

Cold weather has descended into Virginia and there's only one way to combat the chill: chili. This homemade meal is your ticket to warming up and experiencing some of the best flavors in Virginia, often from recipes that have been handed down through the generations. Once you arrive to the top of Bent Mountain in Virginia's Blue Ridge, that's exactly what you'll find. Bent Mountain Bistro serves up fantastic chili that's sure to hit the spot this season.

Take a peek at what's in store:

Bent Mountain Bistro is a cozy mountain eatery located atop the picturesque Bent Mountain at 9607 Bent Mountain Rd Bent Mountain, VA 24059.

This local restaurant operates under the motto "everything is better on the mountain." Upon arriving here, you'll understand that the views are no exception.

Inside, you'll be greeted by a friendly community of visitors, locals, and the tantalizing smell of something wonderful cooking.

And during the cold seasons, it's most likely the scent of homemade chili. Stocked with grass-fed beef, organic beans, and shredded cheese, this bowl could sustain you all day long.

Add some of the specialty pita fries to the equation, and you'll have the perfect combination to combat the cold.

Of course, you don't have to order the chili to experience the magic of the Bent Mountain kitchen. Photographed below is the turkey bacon club sandwich with hand-cut fries.

You might even find a seasonal treat on the menu, such as the roasted winter pumpkin soup photographed below.

With locally sourced ingredients, you can be sure that anything off the menu will be memorable.
