The Top 55 Places to Eat Near Breckenridge Distillery






















  1. An old-school Vail institution on Gore Creek, Sweet Basil has been feeding skiers and locals through lunch, après drinks, and dinner for longer than most of its regulars have been skiing. The menu roams freely, pulling from wherever it likes, miso black garlic halibut one minute, bone marrow pho the next. Desserts have names that dare you to order them. The cocktails are carefully made, and the room stays lively without trying too hard.


  2. A whiteboard lists the day's fish, and the counter fits a handful of people who know to leave the sauces out of it. This tiny sushi shop inside Vail Village runs a purist's game, nigiri and sashimi cut clean, with cuts like hagatsuo that rarely travel far outside Japan. The Michelin Guide has noted it, which in a ski town full of après-ski excess says something about where the serious eating is happening.



  3. Rank 25. Splendido

    Contemporary New American

    Dover sole filleted tableside is the kind of move that makes the name feel earned. Splendido is a fine dining room in the Beaver Creek area where the menu runs from pomegranate-marinated Colorado lamb to a chocolate and peanut butter pavé, threading a line between creative and classically comfortable. Service is warm and attentive without being stiff. The crowd tends toward après-ski celebration mode, and the room is happy to oblige.









  4. Rank 33. Chasing Rabbits

    Mediterranean







  5. A century-old ranch house just outside Beaver Creek Resort, and the chef's family actually lives there, which goes a long way toward explaining why this French fine dining room feels less like a white-tablecloth performance and more like someone's very well-fed home. The European-trained kitchen leans into generous portions and old-school indulgences, with a dessert course the menu treats as non-negotiable. Dress up a little; the room earns it.















  6. Rank 53. Spring Cafe

    Vegetarian


  7. Rank 54. Wayan

    Indonesian French
