1. Soupçon
$$$$ | |"Soup's on" (get it?) occupies two intimate rooms in a historic cabin tucked away in an alley and dishes up five courses of nouveau American cuisine with a strong French accent. Organic herbs grown on the premises accent local produce, and everything, including soups, stocks, and sauces, is made from scratch.

2. Montanya Distillers Tasting Room
$ | |Stop here for artisanal cocktails and tasty tapas before dinner, and it just might end up being your dinner spot. The rum is divine (ask for a free tasting)—there's a light and a dark, both skillfully distilled on-site in copper stills from Portugal using fresh local-spring water (come by between noon and 5 Wednesday through Saturday for a distillery tour). Try the rum straight or in an inventive cocktail, such as the local favorite Maharaja, which blends chai spices with ginger and lime.

3. Secret Stash
$ | |Sit inside beneath sweeping tapestries in a Japanese-style booth (seating on the floor) or opt for a table on the deck to enjoy amazing pizza in a mind-bending array of formulations—from the "Notorious F.I.G." (prosciutto, dried figs, and truffle oil) to the "Mac Daddy" (with Thousand Island, shaved rib eye, pickles, and a sesame seed crust).

4. Sunflower
$$$$ | |This small, simple-looking restaurant on Crested Butte's main street serves up perhaps the valley's best gourmet farm-to-table fare. New menus are printed regularly—creatively crafted to accommodate the fresh, organic meats and produce available that day from local farm suppliers—but they always feature a few delicious entrées, along with a generous selection of smaller plates. Because the restaurant's space is so limited, guests must choose between an earlier (around 6 pm) and a later (around 8 pm) seating time, but the close quarters makes for a convivial atmosphere.
214 Elk Ave., Crested Butte, Colorado, 81224, USA970-417–7767Known For
- Extremely fresh ingredients
- A well-curated wine list
- Delicious homemade desserts

5. Teocalli Tamale
$ | |Known as "Teo's," this Mexican restaurant is housed in a small, historic building and is a local favorite for tasty takeout (or a claustrophobic eat-in experience). You can get a generous portion of tamales, burritos, or tacos for about $10. Lines can be long, so allow plenty of time.
311 Elk Ave., Crested Butte, Colorado, 81224, USA970-349–2005Known For
- Flavorful homemade salsas
- Mahimahi tacos
- Margaritas

6. The Eldo
$ | |This craft brewery serves gourmet Himalayan fare and features live music on the weekends. Staples include tikka masala and momo dumplings, which you should be sure to pair with a pint made on-site. The restaurant is family friendly, though after dark, expect the true ski-town pub experience, as the bar fills with locals and travelers alike toasting the day's turns.

- Fun ski-town atmosphere

7. The Slogar
$$$ | |In a lovingly renovated Victorian tavern awash in handmade lace and stained glass, this restaurant is just plain cozy. A menu with a comfort-food bent spotlights family-style options, such as skillet-fried chicken, rib-eye steak, and ribs, paired with sides like fresh biscuits, creamy mashed potatoes, gumbo, and mac and cheese. Southern-style offerings (po'boys, chicken and waffles) abound, while the occasional international entrée (banh mi, anyone?) dots the menu. A Creole-style weekend brunch often includes live music.
517 2nd St., Crested Butte, Colorado, 81224, USA970-349–5765Known For
- Family-style comfort food
- Creole Sunday brunch
- Historic building
