A Place Like No Other

Canyon Kitchen is one of the most beautiful restaurant settings in the country, framed by verdant forests and meadows, encircled by thousand-foot granite cliffs. Located inside the Lonesome Valley community but open to the public, Canyon Kitchen features an exquisite dining experience featuring local foods in a sophisticated Appalachian Style.

Housed in the rustically elegant Jennings Barn where its post and beam structure and accordion-style walls open to view the kitchen gardens at the foot of Cow Rock Mountain. Be sure to join us in the garden for a drink before your dinner to soak in the views.
