This local love in Erie is a restaurant that we can’t get enough of! 24 Carrot Bistro is a destination for anyone who appreciates thoughtfully prepared, seasonal food created with care and intention. From the moment you step inside, under beautiful vaulted barn beam ceilings, exposed brick walls and fresh flowers, you sense that this place is more than a restaurant. It’s a celebration of community, local farms, and a commitment to food that feels honest and full of flavor.
The menu evolves with the seasons, showcasing the best of what Colorado farms, ranches, and producers have to offer. Think fresh seafood, locally grown vegetables, and meats raised without antibiotics or unnecessary hormones all perfected into creative, elegant dishes. The chefs drive the menu, and it’s an absolutely delicious one. Whether you’re visiting for dinner, meeting friends for brunch, or grabbing something for home, 24 Carrot Bistro always greets you with easy, genuine hospitality. Regulars also love the monthly speakeasy nights hidden behind a bookcase! It’s a fun way to try creative cocktails and special menus. What really sets the place apart, though, is their commitment to sustainability and community. They even hold the Slow Food “Snail of Approval,” a nod to restaurants that prioritize responsible sourcing and support the people behind every ingredient.
24 Carrot Bistro is also led by an incredible women-driven management team, a group that brings heart, creativity, and a whole lot of passion to everything they do. Their leadership is a big part of why the space feels so warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming.
