The Top 100 Restaurants in Salt Lake City

The best restaurants in Salt Lake City, by the professional record: Wine Enthusiast, James Beard Awards, and Michelin Guide have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Urban Hill comes out on top.

MONTE and Felt Bar & Eatery hold the next two places. Salt Lake Magazine shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Gastronomic Salt Lake City next.

  1. Gin barrels stacked floor to ceiling are the first thing you notice, which makes sense given that this tasting menu restaurant sits inside the Beehive Distillery. The chef pulls from French, Italian, and South American training to build a refined, locally sourced menu, and the results earned a Michelin star. Widely spaced tables and concrete floors keep the room grounded while the food goes somewhere else entirely.





  2. Rank 6. Koyote

    Noodles

    The chef spent time training in ramen shops in Japan before bringing the practice back to Salt Lake City, and the bowls at this counter-service ramen shop make that detour feel logical. No reservations, QR code ordering, and nobody minding either, because the chicken broth runs deep and the chashu pork is properly tender. Gyoza hold you over while you wait. The Michelin Guide has it selected, and the room fills fast on cold nights.



  3. Half-pound sandwiches on Jewish rye, a proper Reuben, and homemade cake that sells out before dinner, this is a New York-style Jewish deli doing things the way delis used to. The family operation has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which feels about right for a counter where leaving hungry would require genuine effort. Go early if you want the cake.


























  4. Concrete floors and high ceilings give this family-run Northern Indian restaurant an unexpectedly loft-like feel, which pairs oddly well with the warm, sharing-style plates arriving at the table. The Michelin Guide has it listed, and the room fills with people ordering more dishes than they planned. Curries run across fish, chicken, and lamb, and the chili lamb masala earns its regulars. Come with a group and a flexible sense of how full you thought you were going to get.
