Restaurants in Vail

“Our favorite breakfast in the Vail valley! To save yourself some time, be sure to join their waitlist thru Google! They’ll text you when your table is ready! My husband’s & son’s favorite item is the Taxi Driver.”

“The best restaurant in Vail!”

“Very good food and friendly staff. Specially Pradip was really good.”

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

“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.”

“Did not expect to find such good jjamppong in Vail. The owner once he found out I was Korean offered me jjamppong which was an off menu item. We also got some take out items and they were all incredible. Absolute gem”

“Dining at Joy Sushi was, without a doubt, one of the most incredible culinary experiences we’ve had, and not just in Vail, but anywhere. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a cozy vibe that made us feel right at home.

The sushi and sashimi were unbelievably fresh—each bite practically melted in our mouths. You could truly taste the quality and care that went into every piece. The rolls were not only beautifully presented but also incredibly creative. The combinations of flavors were thoughtfully crafted and balanced perfectly, and absolutely delicious.

We were especially impressed by how reasonably priced everything was, especially considering the high quality of the ingredients and the location in Vail. It felt like such a hidden gem, just a short drive from our hotel. We were so impressed after our first dinner that we came back again two nights later, and honestly, we would have gone all three nights if we hadn’t made other plans.

Joy Sushi has officially become a must-stop for us whenever we’re in town. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers such a consistent and exceptional experience across the board—from food to service to value. We’re already looking forward to our next weekend trip to Vail, and Joy Sushi will definitely be on the itinerary.”

“Very friendly staff! I’ve never had a drink like this one before! “Chai one on””

“Outstanding service from the time we arrived and awesome selection of fine foods and wines. Loved every minute of it!”

“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.”

“the food was amazing. So fresh and delicious. The staff was equally impressing with great attitude and professionalism”

“Great staff and food. The supper clubs were amazing”

“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.”

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

“The cheese fondue with veggies and a baguette was outstanding! We also had the dark chocolate fondue for dessert and it was equally as good. The staff are fantastic!”

“By far the best Italian food I have found in the United States!”

“Excellent food, service, ambience - if you are in Vail or plan to be in Vail it is one of the best restaurants in the Village. Be sure to book a reservation as the restaurant is extremely popular.”

“prime rib was great and it's close to hotel room”

“I’ve been to Mountain Standard on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed with anything i’ve ordered. The appetizer biscuits are a comfort to me and one of my favorite starters ever. Earlier today I tried the Cubano sandwich and it was genuinely life changing. I haven’t stopped thinking about how I may never have a sandwich as good again.”

“Great experience!!! From the food, service and ambience A++++”

“As usual an excellent meal.”

“Amazing breakfast buffet with lots of delicious options including omelette bar, pastries, breads, granola, yogurt, meats, cheeses, fruit. Beautiful setting as well in the glass enclosed room.”

“This was a stellar dining experience. It was NOT crazy loud and bustling, the fish options were amazing, the waygu was a fun experience and THE DESSERTS!! Holy moly. this was thee best experience i’ve ever had dining in Vail. I appreciate the wonderful atmosphere and kind, attentive service.”

“Highly recommend Chasing Rabbits when in Vail. Very hip place with creative cuisine and a great wine program. I had Rabbit Bolognese and it was outstanding. Our server was excellent. Can't wait to go back!”

“Great food. I had berry salad and green chili boar soup. Delish! My server was excellent. Only gripe I have is with the parking ripoff. $45 to park for about an hour? Ridiculous. Thievery, but not reall Bully Ranch’s fault.”

“Went with Friends. Great food.”

“The food was really good. Our waitress was really nice to us. They are really friendly They are quick with getting your orders to you as well.”

“Located at the top of Gondola 19 in Lionshead, Eagle’s Nest has several eateries for skiers and riders. The food here is good, although expensive. Over the past two years, the menu options and quality have improved significantly.There is a good bar on the first floor, Bistro 14. This use to be a restaurant, but post-COVID, it is just a bar.”

“The service was exceptional, beyond expectations for any restaurant, more on par with a private club.

The food was amazing, we had a large party and passed plates, the escargot, BBQ’d oysters, shrimp and artichoke appetizers were all amazing, the escargot was better than any I have had traveling in France.

Dinner was equally exceptional, the scallops were amazing and my wife’s Black Cod was also exceptional.

The wine list is one of the best I have seen, the wines are not chosen by popularity or label but by taste and quality. There are some great values!

Overall excellent service and even better food and they really did go beyond expectations to accommodate a large party of 10!”

“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!”

“the best sushi you'll have! takeshi gets the freshest and most unique fish and preparation is A+.”

“Best views , Best Deal in Vail. Ugh I hate to even publish this ....because I have shared this with all of you. Please don't tell anyone .... locals favorite. Kristen thank you for always welcoming us and remembering us we'll be back tomorrow!”

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

“Love hanging out at the George! Any season throughout the year is a good time here. Great selection of beers and the redbull slushies are great too. Bar service is quick even when they get a little busy. The food at this bar is top notch. My favorite go to is definitely the duck and mushroom quesadilla. Its a great snack if your really hungry or a decent meal if not! Ski season Après The George is the place to be. Find it down the stairs and enjoy some damn good food and drinks.”

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

“Great food, sunny patio, and good service! We went twice and enjoyed the Burrata Caprese Salad both times - so good! And the pork green chile! Wow! Also loved the purple passion chicken sandwich! Nice beverage menu as well.”

“What a lovely spot for coffee! It’s right on the corner and easy to find. My husband and I got the Superfood Balls which were made with dates, sesame seeds, coconut and other stuff. Really yummy! The blueberry muffin was really good! We also enjoyed the Nitro Cold Brew and Vanilla Latte. Such a cute spot and I really want to try the strawberry cloud matcha! I saw the sign for it and wished I had ordered it.”

“Amazing views. Even with one hour left and the place packed still got served food exactly as ordered. Drink ordered was strong lol - gotta love a high elevation bartender!”

“Delicious good and upscale vibe.”

“Great flavors, great quality ice cream. Service is excellent as well. Be warned that they charge a "service charge". For scoping ice cream. At an ice cream shop. Raise the price by 5 cents and nobody will notice or care.”

“This Starbucks sits inside the hospital lobby.
Don't worry; the map app is guiding you to the right place!
The hospital concierge staff is very friendly and will gladly point you in the right direction.
Audrey and the rest of the Starbucks staff are always warm and happy to recommend a good drink!”

“Great Vail atmosphere style Cafe. I found the coffee itself to be very good - actually served hot which I like. They also have freshly squeezed orange juice which was nice. Overall great Vail spot for coffee and just feeling the Vail spirit.”

“I was pretty disappointed this season with the limited options this time. The food is served apparently only some days.. then there's no wait staff I guess anymore, and as much as this place suppose to be bumpin' for any apres ski time they decide to close at 4pm or so.. blew my mind.. absolutely the most prime real estate .. the way its ran I guarantee they're hitting less than 50% of its potential revenue! [It's a very obvious observation] no entertainment just self order line. Please be better.. make Vail resorts $$ so ppl don't need to pay $300 day for skiing”

“The ham & cheese croissant, the cappuccino with oat milk and the hot mint tea were delicious. Other pastries look fantastic too. Service was very friendly and professional. Best cafe we have found in Vail.”

“The bbq pizza was the best pizza I have ever had. The waiter was a little under par. He just wasn't as attentive to us as he was others. We ordered 2 beers he only brought one. And when we said we wanted 2. He had a attitude. But then apologized right before he brought the bill.”

“Great stop off spot for food and beer. I was surprised at how big and good the chilli dog was. Flame grilled and served hot. Outdoor seating only, but in a well sheltered location so no wind. All in all, a great spot for great hot dogs and brats.”

“Wow, one of the best restaurants on Vail mountain! For starters, this restaurant blew my mind away, especially it being 2 miles high! The pulled pork was so tender, the ribs were some of the best that I have ever had, the sauce is the bomb, and the prices were reasonable for Vail! Pro tip, use your epic pass if you have it, it will save you a drastic amount of money!

Vegetarian options: This is a bbq, so there is not many veggie dishes

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for dietary restrictions!

Parking: In terms of ski parking, there are many racks outside to “park” your skis. However, you can’t drive up to here!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!

Wheelchair accessibility: If you are on a wheelchair and are skiing, congratulations! It is for skiers!”

“This is the best place to eat on the mountain. They are smoking the meat right there!

Great spot to stop in, warm up, and get some great BBQ. Get there before the lunch rush to make sure you get a seat. Tables by the windows have a beautiful view of the mountain. When the weather is warmer you can sit outside. They have picnic tables and lawn chairs.

Recommend the ribs, brisket, and Mac n cheese.”

“We visited pre-ski season and the atmosphere was perfect. No large crowds and the service was wonderful.”

“Pleased to find a vacant table and immediately offered choice of drinks, followed by a waitress to take our order. Lovely selection of food options and delivered just as ordered. Bottomless cups of coffee and also glass of water supplied to each.”

“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 😊”

“The best store in vail, excellent service, delicious food”

“We made this our special dinner for our time in Vail...and Elways did not disappoint. I had the short rib, and it was literally the best I've ever had. Fall apart tender, great tasting au jus, awesome creamy horse radish sauce. We also had the halibut. Not cheap...but the food, service, and atmosphere were perfect.”

“Great location by the Blake hotel. During the pandemic, plenty of seating outside on the deck overlooking Taos ski lift. Friendly staff. Good menu choices. Awesome burger!”

“Great pizza; great service!! Thank you!”

“It's a bit on the pricey side (average price for Vail), but the breakfast sandwiches are great. It's a super tiny store, so be prepared to bump into stuff, but it has a cozy Italian appeal and was an enjoyable experience.”

“Andrea was very kind and helpful today at Starbucks in City Market Vail. This is a great place to rest and enjoy a delicious coffee beverage and a snack after skiing or groceryshopping. It's very conveniently located in City Market, Vail on the North Frontage Rd.”

“Great food, great service”

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

“Steven Teaver the owner was awesome! He opened up a little early to allow us Oregonians to check out Bad Kitty Lounge! Made us feel like long time friends! The suspended mirrored ski boot was a spectacular touch. Were there 08/23/21. Going through some of our Colorado vacation pics and had to comment on this place.”

“The French Toast Croissants were delicious.”

“I asked the valet at our hotel who should we order pizza from, Local Joe's was his quick reply. The pies arrived hot and fresh, high quality ingredients, and the delivery guy was very nice. We also tried 5 of their sandwiches for lunch the next day, equally excellent. When in vail this is the place from which to get pizza or sub sandwiches. If you go for pickup or want a drink at their bar, don't let the older/small location fool you, it's got great people and wonderful food.”

“Was pleasantly surprised by this place! Great food they have dim sum and more traditional Chinese in addition to Chinese American. Everything we had was great. Would come again!”

“What a charming coffee shop. Staff were extremely friendly. I spilled my coffee all over, and they made me a new one without asking. The donuts are probably one of the best I’ve ever tasted.”

“This little store is located inside the Avon Walmart. Their food came out hot and fresh and the workers did their best to be timely with it. It's a great option for getting a bite to eat and accessing Walmart at the same time.”

“Great night out in Dollar!”

“A perfect place for a quick bite to fill you up after/before a ski day. We made a pit-stop before we got on the lift and had a nice hearty meal that was balanced, tasty, and filling! The restaurant has lots of charm and makes you feel cozy and homey when you enter with all its personal decorations and memorabilia surrounding you while you dine-in. They also have outdoor seating, so you can supplement a beautiful day with a beautiful sandwich!”

“Grabbed an iced chai latte on break, it was refreshing. The barista was very friendly, even when guests came in for ice cream, which is next door, she'd point them in the right direction and tell them to enjoy their ice cream. This place can get packed quickly, but afternoon in the summer are quite pleasant.”

“Great place off the beaten path. Good food and drinks, very affordable, and great people.”

“Vendetta’s is hands down one of the best spots in town. The pizza is absolutely top tier — crispy crust, perfectly balanced sauce, and toppings that taste fresh every single time. It’s the kind of pie that keeps you coming back after just one slice. On top of that, the bartenders here are some of the friendliest and most skilled around. They’ve got the perfect balance of speed, personality, and great recommendations whether you’re after a craft beer, a cocktail, or just something simple. Between the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere, Vendetta’s nails it every time. A true Vail classic.”

Their service is top-notch—always friendly, timely, and welcoming. The pizza? Absolutely unbeatable, with fresh ingredients and that perfect balance of flavor and crust. Whether you’re grabbing a bite after a day on the slopes or ordering in, they never disappoint. If you want great food and a place that treats you right, Pazzo’s is the place to go!”
