    $$$$

    Chef Arturo Flores will delight you with tantalizing dishes such as duck breast enchiladas, tortilla soup (his grandmother's recipe), a giant ahi tuna taco, or melt-off-the-bone spareribs in this upscale Southwestern restaurant. Order a house-made margarita (try the serrano margarita for an extra kick), and enjoy the cozy and intimate feel of this popular eatery. Star-shape lanterns illuminate the Mission-style terra-cotta tiles of this restaurant where the service is excellent and the menu is inspired.

  • 2. Fireside Dining

    $$$$

    After a day of playing in the snow, Empire Canyon Lodge's Fireside Dining is the perfect way to warm up as you eat in the timber-framed lodge surrounded by several stone fireplaces. You'll feel like a medieval lord as you go from fireplace to fireplace to be served hearty fare like veal stew, elk, or a slice of perfectly roasted lamb cooked over a spit. Feast in old-European style for hours and savor the raclette cheese melted by the fire paired with bread and charcuterie with house-made pickles, basil jam, and fig mustard. Wrap up the night with a dessert fondue of green apples dipped in white chocolate sauce made with Grand Marnier.

    This breakfast and lunch hot spot offers up nourishing dishes that look and taste like works of art.

Breakfast is served all day. Their coffee is not to be missed and especially their outstanding iced coffee, served Aussie style (with ice cream).

  • 4. Freshie's Lobster Co

    It may seem a bit out of place in the land-locked mountains of Utah, but this casual restaurant started as a food truck run by East Coast natives, then became so popular that a brick-and-mortar location opened in 2016. Lobsters are flown in fresh daily, and the lobster roll is now nationally recognized as the "World's Best Lobster Roll" after taking home the win at a competition in Portland, Maine, in 2017.

This lively restaurant and bar, housed in a historical home and livery, is a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

  • 8. Ritual Chocolate Café

    $

    Experience a rush of senses when you visit this fixture in Park City's culinary scene opened in 2015 by Robbie Stout and Anna Seear. Smell just-baked brownies with toasted Peruvian cocoa nibs and watch through an observation window as cocoa beans go into the factory's roll mill as a thick gritty paste, then come out smooth and flaky. Sample different chocolates, then take home a finished bar of smooth Old-World chocolate. Ritual makes small-batch chocolate by gently roasting single-source cocoa beans from sustainable farms around the world. The café's outdoor deck is a great place to feel alpine breezes while you drink a cup of sipping chocolate from your choice of regions: Madagascar, Peru, Ecuador, or Belize.

    A local favorite, this establishment carries an eclectic menu that marries a surf-and-turf concept beautifully; the owners ship in fresh seafood daily (which is perhaps why their crab cakes are in such high demand), and charbroiled filet mignon are perfectly cooked to your liking. The sushi bar is always packed, especially during happy hour, which runs daily 5–6 pm, offering half-price select sushi and appetizers. Arrive a little early to order a glass of vino at the lively bar. When visiting in summer, make sure to grab a seat in the popular outdoor patio.

Serving so-called heirloom American cuisine, the restaurant's seasonal, locally sourced menu changes frequently. Chef-owner John Murcko is no stranger to the Park City dining scene, as many of his local restaurants earned culinary fame in the past three decades, but Firewood is his first solo venture. The downstairs bar is not to be missed, with an industrial feel and a unique bar top finished with hundreds of nickels.

In the summer, request a table on the deck for stunning sunset views. Try the juicy Stein's Burger, fresh halibut, or hearty wild game chili with buffalo, elk, and wild boar, and don't miss the amazing desserts. A wine cellar with more than 10,000 bottles that incorporates every major wine-growing region in the world is managed by the team of sommeliers, who can suggest the perfect pairing. Private wine seminars and tastings are available, too. You'll be tempted to make an all-day affair out of the famous Sunday brunch.
