For
such a small geographical area, the Town of Vail provides more world class
dining than many mid-sized American cities. Home of famous chefs like Thomas
Salamunovich and Kelly Liken, Vail teems with five star restaurants, casual
gourmet bistros, pizza joints, and everything in between. The restaurants in
Vail cover nearly every culture of cuisine, and for good reason—Vail attracts
visitors from all around the world.
Sweet Basil Vail is one restaurant that really stands out in the crowd. Voted Colorado’s Most Popular Restaurant by the Zagat survey, this modern American restaurant lies in the heart of Vail Village. The restaurant draws influence from a variety of cultures and cooking styles. Diners will find delight in the wine list, which features over 500 fine selections from some of the world’s best wineries.
For those looking to sample gourmet organic cuisine, Terra Bistro at Vail Mountain Lodge and Spa will surely impress. The menus feature recipes that utilize 85% to 100% certified organic ingredients. And if its views you’re after, try the patio at Bistro Fourteen at the top of the Lionshead gondola, which offers prime views of Holy Cross. The Tavern on the Gore is a new, casual restaurant in Vail Village with a lot of TVs, but not too loud.
