Mountaintop Breckenridge Restaurant??
 
We have heard that there is a VERY nice restaurant at the top of one of the ski runs. Real small and with a beautiful view. Any ideas of it's name?? We would also like names of any other great places to eat there. We'll be there for a week. Thank you, Babs

Hi Fletcher921. We go to Breck alot, my brothers live there, and we are not aware of a nice restaurant on the mountain. Perhaps Game Creek in Vail?<BR>One of my brothers works at Swiss Haven, which has wonderful fondue and the such. If weather is nice, have a great little patio with unbelievable views of the mountain! Ask for Tim (bartender). We also like Blue Moose for breakfast, Blue River bistro for dinner. Quandry Grill is also a nice spot for lunch if weather is nice (good food, but inside isn't anything special.)<BR>Try to do some trips outside of Breck as well, Vail has amazing restaurants, and great shopping!<BR>You also need to drive up and over Hoosier Pass for some unbelivable photo ops, spectacular views!<BR>Have fun!

There's no restaurant at the top of the ski runs, other than the usual day-time ski places.<BR><BR>You might be thinking of the restaurant at the top of the mountain at Keystone. I believe it's called &quot;Alpenglow Stube,&quot; and it's at the top of North Peak in Keystone. I've never been there myself, but the views are great from North Peak.<BR><BR>My favorite restaurant in Breck is Cafe Alpine, which is more upscale and expensive. It's smaller and quieter than Blue River Bistro.<BR><BR>Fiesta Jalisco serves more authentic Mexican food, but Mi Casa is good too.

Lexma90 hit it right on the head. Fletcher may I suggest the Ski Tip Lodge at Keystone, my favorite place in Summit, It is REAL small reservations are a must! next is Cafe Alpine as Lexma90<BR>mentioned.

I have been to Alpenglow Stube, on top of Keystone. Gourmet, fixed price menu. Cozy dining room with a fireplace (don't recall any views once you are inside). You must have reservations, and you take 2 gondolas to get to the top for dinner. Wonderful mountain views on the way up and down, and they give you blankets to keep yourself warm on the trip. I highly recommend the experience.<BR><BR>There is also a fondue restaurant up there as well, which would be more casual and less pricey, but probably a lot of fun, and you'd still get the two gondola rides. Haven't tried that.
