In the summer of 2019, a down-to-earth, fine dining experience in the heart of Bayfield, Colorado was created. Mill Street Bistro is dedicated to providing farm-to-table cuisine with healthy portions and local ingredients. Stop by after work to enjoy a glass of wine or craft beer during Happy Hour. Join us for a meal to celebrate a special occasion, or bring the whole family because your kids will love our mac and cheese!  We are also available for custom catering events in our beautiful restaurant or on our garden patio.  Chef Kelsy Peabody completed her formal training at the Art Institute of Colorado, earning a culinary degree in 2008.  While earning her degree, she had the opportunity to work as a stagier at the renowned Flagstaff House above Boulder, Colorado. Upon graduation, Kelsy returned to her roots in Birmingham, Michigan to serve as Head Chef of Peabody's Restaurant. There she worked alongside her family and successfully managed and innovated in the kitchen of the 277-seat historic "Old Barn" on Woodward Avenue. Eventually, the American West proved strong enough to lure her to Durango, where in 2015 she built Bounty for the Belly, a food truck and catering business. The success of her food truck led her to realize that it was time for the next step!  Kelsy proceeded to fulfill her dream of owning and operating a restaurant of her own, right here in beautiful Bayfield Colorado. When not serving her trademark "fancy comfort" food to the lucky folks of SW Colorado, Kelsy can be found playing hockey, mountain biking, skiing, fly fishing and mostly enjoying friends and family!

  We can't wait to meet you and look forward to serving you!
