Michie Tavern ca. 1784

A Virginia Historic Landmark

Michie Tavern, located ½ mile below Jefferson’s Monticello, accommodated travelers with food, drink, and lodging more than 200 years ago.

Attentive servers offer a bountiful Southern Midday Fare. The rustic restaurant setting renders a lunch dining experience rich in southern culture and hospitality for families to enjoy. Get a taste of the 18th-century as we feature a buffet of southern fried chicken, marinated baked chicken, hickory-smoked pork barbecue, stewed tomatoes, black-eyed peas, buttermilk biscuits and so much more. Lunch served daily, 11:30 – 3:00.

After a leisurely lunch guests may enjoy relaxed shopping in unique shops – all housed in distinct historic structures. The Tavern Shop, and The General Store each provide a one-of-a-kind experience above and beyond plentiful shopping opportunities.
