“If you happen to be staying at The Little Nell or visiting Aspen make brunch reservations at Element 47. Pancake lovers: try the Lemon Soufflé Pancakes, there’s just the right amount of citrus in these decadent fluffy pancakes. Vegans & avo toast lovers try the Avocado Toast. Plentiful, perfectly seasoned mashed avocado with feta & pickled onions on house baked bread is superb. Another vegan option is the Warrior Pudding Bowl, this healthy dish is super flavorful, light yet filling. Ingredients include quinoa, hemp, chia & oat. The Nell’s famous Hot Cocoa is rich, creamy & a quintessential tribute to Valrhona’s top of the heap chocolate. The recipe includes half & half, sugar, Valrhona cocoa powder & chocolate. It’s unreal! I’m a pastry fanatic so I always can’t wait to hear what flavor hand pie (pop tart esque) is on the menu. I also stash one in my ski back pack, makes the chairlift ride even more fun!“

“J-Bar in Aspen is a must-visit for anyone who loves a mix of history and great food. This iconic bar, once a favorite hangout of Hunter S. Thompson, retains its old-school charm while serving up one of the best burgers in town. The atmosphere is lively yet nostalgic, making it the perfect spot to soak in Aspen’s rich history with a perfectly crafted drink and a delicious, juicy burger. A true gem!“

“’m always looking for some place different to eat, to stay, to do, when we travel. I’m not sure how I even found this restaurant but I’m sure part of the attraction was a black owned business in Aspen. MAWA’s Kitchen is like striking gold in the mountains of Colorado. Every dish was excellent, from the Brussel Sprout Caesar to the Two Roots Sautéed Greens, pure heaven in your mouth. For our entrees Conrad chose the Red Snapper. It was served on top of some Zaalouk, which is a Moroccan salad of cooked eggplant and tomatoes. Delicious. I chose the West African Gumbo. The flavors meshed together perfectly and had a little spicy Andouille sausage to kick it up a notch. The servers were great and they even gave me a dessert for my birthday. I would definitely recommend this for a great dining experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stopped by for brunch today, another excellent meal. Got to meet Mawa. Such a great place. And the servers are the best!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“A group of friends and I had dinner here back in November 2023 and I have to say the food here was absolutely spectacular. I've been to several other restaurants in both Aspen and Vail and when it comes down to quality, freshness, and taste, Meat & Cheese is at the top of the list. Some of my favorites on the menu were the steak board, the espresso martinis, and the Vietnamese coffee crème brûlée.“

“The food is off the charts and for the first time we had the artichoke heart bruschetta and it was to die for! My husband's daughter's favorite dish is the lasagna but I have never had it until our guest brought some back to our home so when they left I tried it and no question the best I have ever had!! Very smooth melts in your mouth is the only way I know how to describe it!“

“Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Really nice food with good service. Servers were awesome and the view is beautiful. Food has some flavor and good taste. A little pricey on everything but you are in Aspen soooo… it’s all pricey. House chips are amazing and fresh, biscuits are nice and flakey with some buttery aftertaste and the fresh sauces and jams are to die for.“

“great bartender. large bar area with televisions“

“Good food @affordable prices while enjoying great mountain views“

“Everyone enjoyed their delicious meals. We had the scallops which were perfectly cooked and paired with smooth sweet potato puree and tender carrots, a burger, again, perfectly cooked, a wedge salad with shrimp and a pho bowl. We are regular visitors to WCB and the food was maybe the best we've had here. Our waiter was efficient and friendly.“

“As far an on-mountain “fast-food” goes, this place is up there! The Apple Strudel, which was highly recommended, was good, but could have been warmer. I had the hot-dog, very good and bigger than a normal hot-dog. Staff were friendly and the service was fast. Hard to find seating during prime lunch hours, but we managed to find a good seat. Views are fantastic.“

“Great food, had a Pandora Bowl with Bison burger - and 2 glasses of a nice Pinot Noir“

“This little hide away bar is cozy and personal. It was a treat to stop here. We came all the way from Parker because of a Tiktok and it did not disappoint! We met and chatted with the owner/manager and he indulged our mutual love of K Pop music by playing some K Pop music while we ate! Such a great experience! If we are ever in the area again, we will come back!“

“Aspen Meadows Resort is truly breathtaking! The mountain views, peaceful setting, and modern design make it a dream location for weddings and special events. We've had the pleasure of performing here, and the atmosphere is always magical. The team is professional, friendly, and makes every detail feel effortless. An unforgettable venue in every season!“

“We went to Paradise (literally) when we got cookies, brownies, and gelato! If you're in Aspen, you should totally go there! Yummy 😋“

“Very nice fancy restaurant. Signature dishes were great, specifically the Elk, and the desserts like the donuts were amazing, but most of the non-signature dishes were so-so.

It is a very pricy restaurant, so be prepared to spend (but you’re in Aspen so that should be expected).

Staff was very friendly and drinks were good.“

“Take the Sleigh ride, then warm-up at the cookhouse and enjoy the food, drinks and the ride back.“
