Sidecar

A Must-Visit Gem in Roanoke! Sidecar is hands-down one of the best dining experiences in Roanoke. Nestled in the heart of downtown, this modern European gastropub offers a cozy yet upscale ambiance that feels like a quick trip to Paris without leaving Virginia. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality that makes you feel like a cherished guest. The menu is a culinary adventure—French and German-inspired dishes with a creative twist. Favorites include the Foie Gras & Lamb Meatballs, Wild Boar Bratwurst, Pan-Seared Amberjack, and the decadent Toffee Sea Salt Caramel Bread Pudding. Their Belgian Frites with Curry Ketchup are a must-try, and the Charcuterie Board is perfect for sharing. But what truly sets Sidecar apart is the cocktail program. With over 200 bour

Cool spot and atmosphere with great service and a unique menu. Cocktails (B-A-N-A-N-A-S, Sangria, Pear Necessities, and Lemon Meringue) were a bit underwhelming, except for the Lemon Meringue, which perfectly lived up to its moniker. Went for all 8 selections on the Charcuterie and Fromage Board and everything was outstanding, especially the Turbinado Brûlée on the Humboldt Fog, that is special! Frites with Garlic Aioli, Brussels Sprouts, and 4-Sausage Platter were all fantastic as well, particularly enjoyed all of the spices and variety of meats in the sausages, as well as their accompaniments. Chocolate Pot De Creme for dessert was wonderful as well!

We came for date night and were blown away. The ambiance is amazing and sets the perfect mood. Our server was incredibly sweet and made sure the kitchen was aware of allergies. Do yourself a favor and get the steak frites and caviar dip. It gets packed so I would recommend getting a reservation if you want a table

We had a great dinner at Sidecar this evening. Surprised that there wasn’t more reviews for this place. It’s a busy place and we were lucky to be able to get a seat after a couple of mins wait. New Manhattan and French 75 cocktails were delicious and a great way to start our dinner - we love Prohibition Era cocktails! We had Sidecar Oysters, Rabbit en croute, Belgian Frites and sausage platter. All were amazing. Great vibe, great cocktails and amazing menu. Highly recommended!
