The competition has heated up in recent years, but Alpenglow Stube remains among the finest mountaintop restaurants in Colorado. The exposed wood beams, a stone fireplace, and floral upholstery make it elegant and cozy. At night the gondola ride to get here alone is worth the cost of the meal. Dinner is à la carte or a seven-course extravaganza of locally sourced European dishes. In winter, lunch is two or four courses and equally delectable, with excellent pasta specials. Remove your ski boots and put on the plush slippers reserved for diners.

Locals flock here for the hearty breakfasts of eggs, oatmeal, pancakes, and much more, so you can expect a wait unless you get there early. Neither the food nor the decor is fancy, and the service—while friendly—can be slow. But a meal here will hit the spot. Be sure to bring cash or checks; they don't accept credit cards. Blue Moose will also consider trades for food.

There's usually a wait at this popular breakfast and lunch spot, where meals are cheap, portions are large, and the coffee is perfect. Snag a seat on the patio on weekends when the restaurant can get packed and loud. For those with a sweet tooth, opt for "eggy bread": French toast made with cinnamon fruit bread.

A street sign noting the distance to Galway is the first clue that you've entered an Irish pub. Renovated in 2013, the Cala Pub & Restaurant went from greasy pub grub to serving entrées like Colorado lamb burger topped with goat cheese and olive tapenade, and steamed black mussels in white wine sauce. But it's still an entertaining place where diners and drinkers sit around wood tables inhaling pub fries and sampling among the 50 scotches on the shelf.

Just a few ski-boot steps from the American Eagle Lift, Endo's Adrenaline Café is one of the more hopping sports bar/restaurants. Enjoy rock music as you climb atop a high bar stool and catch a game on one of the TVs, or pick a table for a more intimate lunch or dinner at this high-energy establishment. Try the fish tacos or a mountainous plate of Endo's Mondo Nachos—a heaping portion of chips covered in melted cheddar, jalapeños, and guacamole.

"Hidden gem" describes this strip mall café perfectly because it's unlikely you'd stumble across this creative outpost on your own. But local foodies and tourists who do their research know where to go for lunch in the summer. Starting around Thanksgiving, you can get dinner here, too. Grab one of the family-style tables and dig in to meals like a sauté of shrimp, scallops, and cod or a wood-grilled chicken salad with curried mayonnaise and toasted pumpkin seeds. The menu occasionally changes, but the chef, who works in an open kitchen so that he can converse with customers, may occasionally sneak you something made to order.

The smell of freshly baked pizza will draw families to the door of this Italian eatery. Peek through the window and you'll see families gathered around tables covered with the ubiquitous red-checked tablecloths. There are lots of pastas on the menu, from classic baked ziti to tasty spaghetti with shrimp and pesto. Hungry diners gravitate toward the New York–style pizza with the works and the Sicilian-style deep-dish pizza. You can also build your own calzone or pizza from the huge list of ingredients. A take-out menu is available.

Built in 1862, this raucous eatery originally served as a bar and brothel. The olden days are still evident in the bar's brass handles and hand-carved wood, as well as in the antiques and vintage photographs covering the walls of the dining area. Red meat reigns supreme, although you'll also find chicken and fish on the menu. Either way, you cook your own meal on lava rocks sizzling at 1,100°F. If you prefer to leave the cooking to the chef, there's a prime rib special. A well-stocked salad bar complements your entrée.

A blend of books, coffee, martinis, and some of the best breakfast and lunch sandwiches you can get your hands on make this cozy shop a local favorite. Collages covering ceiling tiles and worn couches give this spot its character, and the après-ski rehashing and games of chess bring in the community. Order the Frenchman for a croissant loaded with turkey breast, spinach, and melted brie, and slathered with craisin pecan mayo. If you're thirsty, try one of several local brews or a steamy, hot buttered rum on chilly days.

You have to love a tavern right at the base of a ski lift (the Super Bee) with a 52-foot-long bar and 10 draft beers on tap. And people do, which is why this loud little pub on the first floor of Copper Station always seems like it's shoulder-to-shoulder. Many hungry skiers have stopped in for a quick lunch of barbecued bacon-wrapped shrimp or a pizza only to find themselves lingering over a dinner of homemade soup and crab-encrusted salmon.

This 1930s homestead was once part of a working cattle ranch, and cowboy memorabilia is strewn throughout, nicely blending with stylish throw rugs and Western crafts. The gorgeous and massive stone fireplace is a cozy backdrop for dessert, or sipping an aperitif or after-dinner coffee. The seasonal five-course menu emphasizes local ingredients, including farm-raised game and fresh fish. You're in luck if the menu includes elk with wild mushrooms in juniper sauce with quince relish.

The colorful decor of this American Southwest joint is something you'll remember. High-backed chairs ring the tables, stone buttresses arch toward vaulted ceilings, and mobiles of round- and star-shaped metal lights dangle above. The menu is packed with surprises, like Fat Tire Ale–battered fish tacos or a green-chili cheeseburger made with local beef. If you go during a football game, be prepared to wait on drinks and tables, or you can escape to the patio, a perfect place for taking advantage of happy hour during the summer.

At this longtime favorite you can join locals who gather around the bar for margaritas and treat appetizers like entrées throughout the day. For lunch you can try lighter fare like the haddock tacos or Joel's Bowl—stir-fried chicken and vegetables over sushi rice. Kick dinner off with a tasty appetizer like snow-crab empanadas or Thai scallops, and for the main course head right for the classic trout plates: trout stuffed with corn-bread stuffing, trout almondine, or lemon pepper trout. If fish dishes aren't your thing, there's always a great stash of beef and pork plates.
