About The Fortunate Prospector

The Fortunate Prospector is a cozy and warm restaurant that offers a variety of delectable food and cocktail options. The atmosphere is inviting, making it a fun place to dine.

The menu features several must-try dishes, including the cottage pie and the Reuben sandwich. The French martini is a light and refreshing cocktail option. For breakfast, the Prospectors Breakfast, which includes scrambled eggs, sourdough toast, and perfectly cooked bacon, is a popular choice. The potatoes are well-seasoned, and the overall meal is considered reasonably priced.

The restaurant's Ploughman's platter, a charcuterie board, is a standout. It features two types of delicious meats, two types of cheese (including an herb sage cheese and a humboat fog cheese), house-made bread, pickled vegetables, and pickled eggs. While the pickled eggs were not a favorite, the overall platter is a tasty and satisfying start to the meal.

The Bangers, which are brains marinated in a local Colorado beer and served with honey mustard and pickled onions, are an exceptional first course. The tender bratwurst shines when enjoyed on its own, allowing the beer and bratwurst flavors to take center stage.

The main courses at The Fortunate Prospector are impressive. The shepherd's pie, made with shredded Angus beef, is a standout, with its crispy mashed potato topping and creamy filling. The fish and chips, featuring perfectly crisp and flaky fish paired with fresh, non-greasy fries, is another highlight.

Dessert options include the warm sticky toffee pudding and the strawberry shortcake scone, which is a favorite among diners.

Overall, The Fortunate Prospector offers a delightful dining experience, with a cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and a well-curated menu that caters to a variety of tastes.
