About

Primland Restaurants offers dining experiences unique to the Virginia High Country on its 12,000-acre private mountain estate. The restaurants are part of the Primland Resort near Meadows of Dan and offer four dining venues that, like siblings, have distinct personalities, ambiance, and cuisine.  

The luxury resort is part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, which includes up-scale attractions like one of the best-rated public golf courses in Virginia and the Primland Resort and Spa.

The resort's proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the charming towns of Floyd and Meadows of Dan make it central to many of the area's top attractions. Such convenience lets you combine multiple itinerary must-dos, like checking out Nancy's Candy Company with a meal at Primland.

Whichever restaurant you select, each menu features vegetables from its garden and locally sourced ingredients to ensure freshness and a farm-to-table experience. 

Like the points on a compass, each eatery offers unique culinary options. 

  • Elements: the primary dining area serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
  • 19th Pub: a casual dining spot offering artisan pub fare.
  • Stables Saloon: laid-back vibe serving Southern classics and live music.
  • Schlumberger Wine Cellar: wine-paired dinners.  

Vibe

Let's explore the personalities and amenities of Primland's four restaurants. 

Elements offer a refined atmosphere with panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The natural light accentuates the tasteful, modern decor. 

The 19th Pub's vibe is laid-back and welcoming, reminiscent of a classic, cozy English pub. It's perfect for a quick bite while golfing or refueling after visiting nearby Mabry Mill.

Stables Saloon's barn-inspired design transports you to a rustic, warm setting. Complete with wooden beams and a fireplace, it is where Bluegrass music and Southern cuisine shine. 

Lastly, the Schlumberger Wine Dinner invites you into an exclusive and elegant environment. The ambiance is luxurious and is the backdrop for wine-paired gourmet dishes. 

Whichever restaurant you choose, you're in for a remarkable dining experience.

Primland Restaurants: Menu & Drinks

As you can imagine, highlighting the best of these eateries is an unrealistic task. Therefore, we'll showcase our top picks so you get a feel for what to expect. 

Elements

A nice feature of this restaurant is that it opens at 7 AM, making it perfect for breakfast before a round of golf or exploring the area. Options range from acai bowls to omelets and a breakfast biscuit. Dinner choices showcase regional ingredients like smoked trout, steak, and artisan salads. A family-friendly plus is the complementary kid's meals for those ten and younger from May until September.

19th Pub

This restaurant serves lunch and dinner and elevates pub fare to a new taste level. Grab a snack like deviled eggs, smoked chicken wings, or any of the healthy salads. Classic sandwiches like the club and signature burgers are a hit, while entrees like rainbow trout, chicken and dumplings, and smoked brisket tacos will satisfy any appetite.  

Stables Saloon

The menu rotates with the seasons, but you can always expect exquisite Southern classics in this laid-back restaurant. Meals are served family-style every Friday and Saturday night, featuring choices like fried chicken, catfish, beef tips, creamed corn, and roasted potatoes. Desserts like bacon chocolate chip cookies to sweat tea cake will satisfy any sweet tooth. Toss in the live bluegrass music, and you're in for an authentic taste of the South!
