49 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Minturn

“LOVE THIS PLACE! Food is delicious, staff is awesome and accommodating, and atmosphere is fun. Highly recommend!“

“Highly recommend! Our family traveling with special dietary needs, incredible sincerely caring and welcoming staff led by Tambo went above and beyond to make sure we were well fed and taken care of. Brisket “better than Mission” per my culinary picky tween. Personally loved the short ribs and surprisingly the cole slaw was amazing ! Good Food Good Peeps“

“I’ve purchased your coffee a number of times at a few places in Summit. Yesterday, I needed some caffeine in a drive to Aspen. Remembering that I had seen signs for your café at the Minturn exit off of 70, I stopped in. Great little spot with excellent service. The cortado gave me the energy I needed to get to Aspen, meet with my customer, then go for a 3 mile hike and drive back to Dillon. Somehow I didn’t realize that you had your own teas as well. Lapsang souchong has been a favorite of mine for a long time… used to order it from Republic of Tea. But they stopped selling that a few years ago. I was absolutely thrilled to find that not only is there a place to get it, but even better, I can support a local business. AND, the price is really good. Your lapsang souchong is now something that I will always have in my kitchen. I’m also looking forward to coming back some time when I can sit in the café and have a snack.“

“This place has good food for the price. I had thought there would be more table service, but it ended up being more “order at the counter and listen for your name” type of place. I tend to tip a bit less at these places because they do far less work/service, but the food was still good. We enjoyed our time but would have liked more service for the price.“

“Totally worth the drive to Minturn from Vail. The food and service out rank some of the highest rated places I have dined while staying in Vail (Including remedy at the Four Seasons) This place must do dining location to get excellent local Colorado fare and the local vibe.“

“My husband met the owner on the gondola one day and told us all about First Chair. We made it out for dinner and drinks with the kids a few days later. Chris served us and it was great meeting him as a fellow East coaster! We ordered almost all of the burritos on the menu and were not disappointed! The smash burger was easily my favorite. My dad would order the meatball burrito for every meal, I swear, with how much he enjoyed it as well as my 1 year old eating half of one herself. My son did work on the nachos they were so tasty! When we get back to Vail, we'll be sure to stop in! great staff and food!“

“Great Place to visit for an outstanding meal while in the Vail area. The food was over the top! The service was outstanding as well! The owner is hands on and greeted us at the door and showed us to our table. It's too bad he is a Bruins fan, with me being from Pittsburgh that is! Highly recommend!“

“Been to this nice restaurant many times and it’s always first class. Tonight my wife’s chicken was excellent. The wine was great. However, the Manhattan steak was not so good. The one that was brought out was extremely tough and even hard to cut into. Our lovely server offered to bring out a new one but I said I would fight through it. To her credit, she insisted on bringing out a new one and I asked for it to be Medallion cut. The replacement came out and should have been medium rare, but when I laid out the cuts it was simply very rare to raw with lots of fat as well. I simply refused to eat it and told her to just take it off the bill. To my surprise the wonderful Manager Dana immediately came over and admitted that they failed on the steak. He explained that they usually get great cuts from the provider, but recently not so much and he actually called the owner and told him they simply can’t be offering this kind of steak as this was not the first bad cut he has seen this evening. Dana did not charge me for the steak as well as the wine and offered a free desert. Dana did exactly what I’d expect a Manager to do in this caliber of a restaurant and that alone makes me want to come back again whichever we will do so!“

“The pizza was amazing as always! I recommend the new appetizer, Garlic Knots - they're so yummy. They're always friendly and fast — the best service in town.“

“Great Detroit Style Pizza! Picnic tables nearby to eat at and there is also a little splash pad nearby if there in the summer.“

“The food is beyond exquisite, the environment , the views, the service, the options, everything amazing 💯.“

“The sushi was so fresh and the service was amazing! Delicious! I highly reccommend!“

“The Thai food we had was amazing definitely a must visit. They have a wide variety of vegetarian options, and everything was very flavorful. This is the best Thai food I’ve had so far. Chef Daniel did an excellent job bringing out incredible flavors in every dish. Our server, Young, was very kind and took great care of us, especially with our vegetarian requests.“

“Food was great overall, and the ambiance was wonderful. The service was prompt and food arrived very quickly. The only thing that slightly disappointed me was the side salad as I was hoping for a more traditional Austrian or a German salad with pickled veggies and vinegarette. All the other food was delicious. We will definitely go back.“

“Went with Friends. Great food.“

“Beer is on point and perfect place to chill after a day out on the slopes or hiking.“

“The quality of their food is not good, it's very bad.“

“On the receipt it said our server was Raul. He was awesome and made an iced espresso that my girlfriend thought was much better than Starbucks. The coffee creation was on the house… even the second one. The breakfast was very good and priced fairly. Because of it all, left a little over 50% tip and happy. Well done.“

“Garfinkel’s is a fantastic spot. The food and drinks are excellent, but the real highlight is the patio with its incredible view—it’s one of the best places around to sit and relax. The customer service was top-notch, and everything came out quickly. The Nashville sandwich was especially flavorful and delicious. The staff clearly works hard to keep things running smoothly. If someone had a bad experience, it likely had more to do with how they treated the staff than the quality of the place. Definitely worth visiting.“

“I called Bob’s Place and spoke with the owner, who was incredibly helpful. We planned a dinner for 13 guests, and she accommodated us perfectly—helped select the menu and arranged for delivery. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend! Thank you!“

“Excellent breakfast burritos and possibly the best hazelnut latte ever!“

“One of our favorite spots to hit whenever we’re in Vail Village. Love sitting outside and having a drink or two. Great food and very friendly staff. Just a wonderful place 😊“

“Atmosphere is like a chalet feel of wood n stone. Food was fine. Sloppy Joe was good. Chicken noodle soup was good. Pricey for the sandwich type food but we are in Vail Colorado. Daughter liked the salad. It was fine , the server was friendly. It was great to try. We were passing through to Utah.“

“Our absolute favorite place when visiting Vail. It's the first place we stop for lunch after landing in Eagle each trip. Lunch menu is exceptional! Dinner menu is also great. We will usually eat twice each trip. Food feels fresh and thoughtful.“

“Our Tampa Bay Ski Club has been having our group dinner there for years. Always excellent food and service!“

“Good service. Decent food.“

“Avocado toast with a side of breakfast potatoes...can't go wrong! 😋💜👍“

“Oh my gosh this restaurant is absolutely fantastic!!!! I’m so happy I’ve found it and I will be a regular here for sure! The food is so fresh and the servings are huge..the atmosphere is clean and spacious and the service is outstanding! Yay I found my new favorite restaurant in Avon!!“

“Wyld is the sort of place you go when you want to splurge on a first class culinary experience and don't mind the hefty price tag. Word to the wise: The shareable meals (e.g. the magnificent duck carnitas) can feed the whole table. We got two shareable meals for 4 people and took home bags of leftovers. The staff is excellent and the ambiance (especially when it's snowing outside) truly special. Don't come if you're going to sweat the bill. Do come if you want to make an unforgettable memory with people you love.“

“Great food, beer and service!“

“Our stay over New Year for our kids first ski trip was one of the best resort stays we have ever had. From pre-arrival planning by Dustin the concierge, to all the staff on site, and all the ways Dustin and the rest of the concierge staff assisted us while we were there, this was such an amazing stay. First, our suite was a great setup, with plenty of room for us to spread out. They setup a tent for the girls to play in and gave them some toys. Quite literally every request we had was met and exceeded. We love that there are multiple restaurants at this property. Over a long stay it gives a variety. Our only wish was that the sushi restaurant had more than just sushi. A few other Japanese dishes would make that an option for us. We just aren't sushi fans, and certainly the kids aren't. But we love Buffalos and Wyld. We also had an excellent experience with the photo concierge. We got excellent pictures and it was a fun memory. And what can I say about the spa?! One of the best there is. Great massages, and the grotto is of course amazing. But really all of the relaxing areas of the spa are just that-- relaxing. It was our first time here for a ski trip. We've been at other times of year. We will continue to return to this property. It just keeps getting better!“

“Just Italian delicious!!“

“Absolutely delicious food served consistently with a smile!! Really cool, fun interior that’s also comfortable for hanging out if you want to catch a game or meet up with friends! I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t already but fair warning, once you have you’re going to crave their food - it’s that good!“

“That feller Joel is great, super professional and really knows his stuff. Celenda too was accommodating and so knowledgeable. All around just a great crowd of folks working there to make create the best experience and atmosphere. Those fellas all deserve a raise.“

“Delicious pho & best meatballs I’ve ever had“

“Delicious good and upscale vibe.“

“Cucina is such a hidden gem. I wish more people in Vail new about Cucina! The space is huge, the atmosphere is great, and the staff is incredibly fast and friendly—especially Salvatore and Tyler. Even with our big event, they were quick, patient, kind, and super attentive. Their customer service really stood out, and I’ll definitely be coming back. The burger was delicious, and I can’t wait to try their breakfast menu next time!“

“so delicious! from the amazing food to the excellent service, you can't miss at sauce!“

“The food was superb, and the service is kind. I do have to say that their water is some of the most refreshing I’ve ever had (unsure of what or where it comes from lol). Unfortunately, I do live out of state. However anytime I visit Vail, CO this is an absolute stop to grab a bite for me.“

“Everyone was really friendly. The whole place had a good vibe. Nikki was fantastic. I spilled my coffee and she was so sweet about it. She went out of her way to make me feel less embarrassed. The coffee and the croissants were also really good.“

“The French Toast Croissants were delicious.“

“We really love their pizza. They also introduced a desert pizza that was one of the tastiest desserts ever created. Highly recommend it!“

“The food was pretty good and the service even better our waitress was attentive and always making sure we are happy. We celebrated a birthday in this restaurant and did not get disappointed, thanks so much Sebastian for making this day even better! We’ll be back 🥂“

“One of the best places in Vail for live music. Phil is ALWAYS entertaining, the staff is friendly, food is great and the drinks are generous.“

“We shared a bottle of wine and some appetizers at the Lobby Bar. It was enjoyable. For appetizers, we had the pretzel bites and one of my friends had the chili. The pretzel bites were very good. The star was the queso dip. It was rich, creamy cheese with some diced tomatoes and was slightly sweet. The honey mustard sauce was good too. It was thick with lots of mustard flavor. Service was good.“

“If you’re looking for the best pizza in Beaver Creek or Avon, Colorado, Pazzo’s Pizzeria is one of the easiest recommendations, especially for families after a long ski day.
I stopped in with my two daughters after skiing Beaver Creek, and it checked every box: great food, solid portions, fair pricing, and excellent service.
We ordered a medium supreme pizza and a Greek salad, which was perfect to split. Everything came out fresh and fast, and the quality was exactly what you want after a day on the mountain.
My younger daughter is a picky eater, so being able to order a cheese and pineapple slice was a huge win. They loaded it up with pineapple, and she liked it so much she went back for a second slice. Having that flexibility makes this place especially family-friendly.
Why Pazzo’s Stands Out in Beaver Creek
Affordable for a ski town – One of the best value meals in Beaver Creek / Avon
Slices available – Perfect for kids or picky eaters
Generous portions – Easy to share
Fast service – Ideal after skiing
Service Experience
Our server, Josh, was outstanding. Attentive, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. That level of service stands out.
Location & Convenience
Pazzo’s has a low-key, hole-in-the-wall feel, but it’s in a convenient spot:
About one block off Avon Boulevard on Beaver Creek Boulevard (Avon area)
Walking distance from the Comfort Inn and nearby hotels

“Our service was outstanding. Wife had the branzino and the kids and I shared a NY strip with truffle fries. We were all extremely satisfied with our meal. Our waiter, Luksa, was super friendly, attentive and engaged well with our young kids. I would come back!“

“Billy Bob’s Brain is the best slice in town. Have been coming here for 20+ years as a Denverite - and honestly, haven’t had better service than Joelle. Thanks for making three nights in a row something worth writing a review about. Also, Tomas - you have a great smile.“
