22 Best Vegan Restaurants in Aspen

“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!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the US is Daniel in NYC. Bosq reminds me of that restaurant with the quality and creativity of dishes and the warm and inviting feeling you get dining there. The staff, Natalie in our case, and Sergei made my wife and me feel as if we were regulars. In fact, it was their warmth that set the mood for a spectacular experience. We started our first date with Bosq's 7-course chef tasting with the pairing selected by Nick. Now Nick is an interesting sommelier. He is knowledgeable and approachable. At the end of our gastronomic experience, Chef Barcley introduced himself, as he appeared to do with all of the diners. I explained to Chef Barclay, that his cooking reminded me of Chef Daniel Boulud. He was slightly taken aback and then stated he has worked with Chef Boulod. Chef Barcley's cooking is world class. My wife and I enjoyed it so much, I canceled one of our reservations to dine at Bosq twice during our week long stay in Aspen. If you want world class food and spectacular service, I highly recommend Bosq. If we lived near Aspen, we would most certainly be regulars!“

“’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!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Keeping it simple:
Loved the food. Especially the Tokyo style ramen and the xlb dumplings. (Table favorites for sure)

Atmosphere was A+. Great for our small group of friends in town for a quick mountain trip.

The Bonuses are location and great prices for the Aspen area!

We’ll be back next trip!“

“Power Bowl with salmon was to-die for 😋“

“We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary here. We had a wonderful time. Chris, the sommelier, went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our anniversary celebration. His colleagues were attentive and friendly. Food was great. Would love to return soon.“

“A nice option in the heart of Aspen with a Tex/Mex menu. By Aspen standards quite reasonably priced, large bar and dining area and friendly knowledgeable staff. One of the largest tequila menus I have ever experienced.“

“Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

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

“Love the big wrap and wish it would stay open during off season“

“A Squared Private chef are incredible. The entire experience was wonderful. They are very professional. We has delicious pork satay, smashed cucumber salad, Pho with chicken and shrimp and a delicious Carlota for dessert. I can't wait for my next dining experience with them. Highly recommend“

“Nice little pizza joint right in the heart of downtown. I had the Ajax Pilsner which was fantastic! The wings were also very good. Service was very quick and friendly, and the place had a great atmosphere.

Oddly, they serve the beer in plastic solo cups, which I wasn't a huge fan of, but the beer was still top quality so I can't complain!

Pro Tip: There's a very small fridge in the middle of the dining area that's very easy to miss with six packs if you want beer to go.“

“One of the best Italian restaurants in Aspen!
I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. They were kind enough to sit the group down even when almost making it a little late. But left a big tip for that. Chris was an awesome waiter!!!! Attentive and made sure we were doing great. Everyone was super kind. The cocktails were spot on! The brunello was out of this world! The food was excellent. It tasted phenomenal!!!! I love Italian food and this was definitely one of the best in town. Restrooms were clean, average. Location where it's easy to find and get to.“

“Food was delicious and view spectacular“

“Lovely place, food was outstanding ❤️“

“This place is awesome! I think this is my first restaurant review ever - just had to rave somewhere. Best tempeh I have ever had - by far. Good portions, healthy food, everyone there is super satisfied. I can’t believe this was rated 3.8 stars. This is a 5-star for sure. Coming back tomorrow.“

“Great Food and excellent service as always! and always been one of my top favorite local restaurant in Aspen! The Pasta are fabulous that feels your in Italy having authentic Italian dishes! The Crew of the front of the house has always been on top of everything!“

“Craving some spicy food and decided to give this place a try! While the flavors aren’t the most authentic Szechuan, it’s definitely worth it for this town. The dishes hit the spot with the right amount of heat, and portions are generous. A great choice when you’re in the mood for bold flavors and something different.

Started Lazi Chicken ( Crispy Chicken with chilies ) and Chill Oil steamed wontons ( pork) as appetizers.

The Szechuan Hot Oil Steak was especially tasty — the rich flavors pair perfectly with rice

I usually eat pretty spicy, so I’d rate their “3 chili” spice level about a 4/10 for me. But for my friend who doesn’t eat much spice, it was more like a 9/10 — so it really depends on your tolerance.“

“We’ve enjoyed it both times we have eaten here in our trip.“

“Fantastic food. Great wine list especially Italian wines. One of the best patios in Aspen. Fantastic staff.“

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

“Stopped in for a quick bite after a long plane delay. 5 stars for a whole in the wall pizza joint!“
