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!”

“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.”

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

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

“We are from NorCal so we have great sushi there and Joy Sushi in Vail was just as excellent and tasty if not better than Ca and the price was very reasonable! Thank you Joy Sushi!!”

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

“Went with Friends. Great food.”

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

“We were visiting Vail for our anniversary and we decided to try Makoto for dinner. The food was excellent, especially the Wagyu Hot Stone and the Softshell Crab sushi. Our waitress Hiroko was very knowledgeable and attentive! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Vail.”

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

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

“Creekside sunny patio, benefits from Sweet Basil sister wine list, hangar steak accompanied by a really delicious miso glaze, baby corn stalk sprouts were tasty and unique, crème corn side had a nice flavor, very attentive and friendly, and super welcoming with my pup on the patio”

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

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

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

“Sigi was a wonderful server. Attentive and efficient. The food was very good (very rich flavors, not surprisingly) and there were some vegetarian options. We were a big group (two tables). It was lovely to sit outside.”

“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!”

“Authentic European breakfast buffet in a beautiful atrium next to Gore Creek. A huge selection of breakfast items including an egg station, breakfast meats, pancakes, seafood, fruits and homemade breads and pastries. Located in the Sonnenalp Hotel in the center of Vail Village. Service is impeccable.”

“We ALWAYS have a Great experience at La Tour! The food is exceptional & service is spot on! We can’t wait to go back!”

“An extraordinary dining experience to remember!!We were celebrating my husband‘s 80th birthday and he chose to dine at The Left Bank, because it is classy, elegant and spectacular…and so it proved to be! Each course was made to perfection we sampled many of the desserts and they were all over the top wonderful. We feel like The Left Bank provides a very unique dining experience in Vail. Truly magnificent for any occasion…We can’t thank our server, Brendon, enough for his expertise and professionalism. Truly a night to remember! Thank you everyone at The left Bank for making Allen‘s 80th birthday so special.”

“Lovely dinner at Tavernetta with our toddler in tow! The stone-and-wood dining room has such a warm, rustic-Italian feel — cozy booths, dim lighting, and touches like the little brass table lamps make it feel special without being stuffy. Even our 3-year-old was won over, happily digging into a bowl of parmesan on the table before our pasta even arrived. Service was warm and accommodating for a family with a young kid, and the entrance off the stone staircase (right by the Tavernetta sign) sets a great tone before you even walk in. Great spot for a family night out in Vail Village — will be back.”

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

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

“Great hidden little gem here! Pizza was absolutely amazing, could have just been the nostalgia of my first real visit to Vail but will definitely go back to this place for sure.”

“Not sure why this place is a 4.3…..it should be much higher! Staff was fantastic - showed up with two unhappy campers, and the wait staff immediately asked if we wanted to order the kids’ food. I very much appreciate any restaurant who understands the challenges of dealing with hungry children. The food was fantastic, the drinks were great - just an overall positive and lovely experience. Will visit again!!”

“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.”

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

“We love Yama every time we go. We were just looking for some good food after a hard day working while enjoying vail to the fullest. It satisfied every need. Pat the manager does a great job. Maya the 5* server is super knowledgeable and detailed; shes a reason alone to keep coming back. Juan the Chef is a true Pro, we love his work and will come back as much as possible just for him. I recommend the Costa Rica roll.
9.9/10 all around.”

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

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

“When we arrived, we sat on the patio, but when the wind picked up, we moved into the dining room. The service was fantastic with good recommendations for food and drink, and we enjoyed the mountain scenery even from inside the restaurant. Plenty of parking, great bathrooms, and a good stop on our way home. I would definitely come here again!”

“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.”

“Definitely, one of my most favorite places to go to after skiing. Our service was great and we were able to sit outside and watch people skiing down the mountain. It was very busy so we did have to wait a little while at the end of january. They do have heaters there. I like this place more for the atmosphere than the actual food itself.But it's definitely worth going to. The server was very nice to us and they were fast and efficient. Thank you for your hospitality.We'll definitely be there again soon.”

“This place is so much fun! We had a girls trip this last week and went twice. The atmosphere was perfect, it was like a dive bar with great comfy seating. They had touch tunes so we got to play our own music (so fun) however, our only complaint is that there’s VERY limited country music options. Apparently the owner doesn’t want it to be a country bar but we’re just some Oklahoma girls wanting to play some of our fave tunes! If we could’ve played whatever we wanted I would give this place a 10/10. But for now, it is an 8.5/10. Regardless of the music limitations this place is great. We had the sweetest bartender both nights, Kaya. She made us feel so welcome and it was nice to see a familiar face when we came back. If you’re in town looking for a fun night out, this is the place to go. Maybe if we beg enough they’ll add some more country music to the touch tunes options????”

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

“Loved this spot over a couple days while we’re in town. Fabulous service and great drinks at a decent price.

Found it shortly after checking into Lift House with our pups after a ~2.5 hour drive from Denver and just wanted a quick drink in a casual spot. We were delighted to see this pub basically right down stairs, especially since we didn’t want to stray far while our dogs got settled. Immediately loved the atmosphere! Definitely try their Sangria… it’s not too sweet or too bitter or too fruity. Old Fashioned was just OK.”

“the coffee shop is paired with a restaurant and the restaurant was basically empty, i’m assuming they were not open. the coffee shop portion was also empty but the baristas were nice and happy to take our order. i ordered the cafe miel which is honey, cinnamon and oat milk with espresso but i asked for mine with whole milk and they happily made that accommodation for me. the coffee was delicious and so flavorful. the coffee was made pretty quickly. i highly recommend this place if you are in vail!”

“Like Nothing Else on Earth!!”

“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!”

“Some of the best ice cream we've ever had!! Loved the strawberry basil sorbet 😍and the people behind the counter were very kind. Pretty affordable too! 10$ for a double scoop, that we shared as a family.”

“Great job, guys! Always there to provide emotional support for a tired snowboarder. A good selection of traditional alpine snacks and more! Also, a good beer and a warming hot-sider.”

“Katie was the best part of the experience there and the reason we returned. She made my morning mocha and remembered my drink and remembered my name . She was wonderful and got us fresh warm chocolate chip cookies. Huge shout out to Katie.”

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

“Hands down the best cocktail bar/ lounge we have ever been to. The service is warm and friendly. John the bartender from Tampa is amazing! He makes the best cocktails! Highly re moment stopping in and having a drink at the bar to chat with John and watch him work his magic!”

“It was a nice place to sit and read while I sipped a chai tea latte waiting for my mother to finish shopping. Someone was having a phone conversation for half the time I was sitting there but I managed to tune them out. It was a lovely day.”

“We stayed at the sonnenalp for a week and had the best experience visiting the King’s Club everyday. The drinks were amazing and everyday we received incredible service, especially from Virag who was extremely attentive and made us feel very welcome. We love it here and cant wait to come back!”

“Love this place. Fav bar in vail”

“One of the best parts of staying at this property. Food was amazing! The cheese melt with tomato soup, the wings, the pizzas, everything was so delicious! And the service provided by the guys at the bar was superb!”

“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!”

“We had lunch at Wildwood Smokehouse. It's located at the top of the Wildwood lift at Vail. We each had a sandwich, shredded chicken, brisket, and pulled pork, and weall had onion rings for our side. They were all good. The shredded chicken had great smoky flavor. On the table, there are 3 BBQ sauces, OG, spicy and honey mustard.”

“Check in was at 4pm, not a minute earlier. But once you arrive at your room, it is extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. We had a nice gas stove and all the amenities needed for laundry and cooking. Our family was super comfortable in a two bedroom apartment and had enough room for all their toys. The location is also the best in vail! you are seconds away from the village and all ice rink. We opted to stay on the non village side because we were worried about noise, however the other side (facing the highway) can be quiet noisy if you are a light sleeper. The pool/gym area was also a nice touch, with updated workout machines and bikes. We did have a little mishap with the concierge and our babysitter not showing up so we missed an excursion. The concierge desk was having trouble solving it, but the manager came in and handled it all swiftly to help make this feel like a five star vacation. We will be returning. xThank you!”

“I don’t think there is an institution better than 10th mountain division. Having come here for 10+ years, the drinks are great - the service is great (if you aren’t rude) - and extra kudos to Mark and Andy. Thanks for making every experience at Vail something special.”

“Stopped in while visiting Vail and had a great experience. We ordered the cashew chicken and sesame chicken, and both were delicious. The chicken was tender, the vegetables were fresh, and the sauces were flavorful without being overly heavy. Portions were generous, and everything came out hot and quickly. Friendly service and a great spot for Chinese food after a day in the mountains. We’d definitely come back.”

“Delicious Menu selection of food and drinks. Jhon was most attentive and gave great suggestions along with superior service. Many thanks to the team at the Grand Hyatt!”

“Delicious good and upscale vibe.”

“We had the most amazing meal at Revel! The salmon with creamy leeks and Chardonnay braised turnips was spectacular—the subtle flavors were perfectly balanced with the leeks providing just the right amount of tang so it didn’t feel too rich. The braised beef was like butter; the savory vegetables it was braised in overnight gave a depth of flavor I’ve never tasted in beef before. The chocolate mousse for dessert…heavenly! The richness of the Belgian chocolate and vanilla bean cream had me moaning out loud.

The salmon is flown in from Norway and the beef is raised locally. I think this goes to show that if you start with fresh, pure ingredients and put them in the hands of a talented chef you can make the simplest of foods taste exceptional.

I just ate at a James Beard award winning restaurant last month and I can honestly say it was no comparison to our meal at Revel! I can’t wait to go back!”

“The French Toast Croissants were delicious.”

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

“Nicest, most personable Starbucks staff I’ve ever met. Jada and Chloe were very patient with a complex order and held a lovely conversation when the POS was glitching, turning a situation which would’ve been otherwise unpleasant into a education time about the best sandwich on the menu (the impossible!). Coffee was on point and super yummy!”

“Difficult to find as I walked right past it twice but once inside the friendly clerk proactively helped me locate everything I was needing without delay. Well organized with tons of choices.”

“Went here twice during our stay. Not sure why the rating is so low. We had pastries, coffee, and tea each time. Good cup of coffee, chai latte and hot tea. Kids loved the donuts and cronuts. Croissants and pastries were yummy. Small shop but seating along the window to sit and enjoy. Would have continued to go if our trip was longer!”

“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.”

“Fantastic little coffee shop loved the chai lattes I had a savory crepe here it was a bit on the expensive side but delicious with good ingredients the service was very friendly and great and I like the communal seating you end up meeting other people.”

“Great food, great service”

“If you like real coffee and an authentic coffee shop experience with great service, this is the place. Sitting at the terrace near the creek and surrounded by the beautiful pine trees makes this place unique. I recommend it 100%”

“El café bien rico y cargado con mucho sabor”

“Pretty good bar, especially if you’re staying at the hotel. It was loud inside when we first got there, and there’s a pinball machine and pool tables. I got the chicken cesar wrap and it was really good! Prices are reasonable for Vail. We also tried the tomato basil flatbread. That was good as well all though the sauce was spicy. A good variety of food and drink options, I’d go back again!

Vegetarian options: Different vegetarian options and they even had a grilled veggie burger”

“My iPhones battery went flat and every sets of table has got plug 🔌 and I’m able to charge my iPhone... Very handy. Love the coffee ☕️ And the pancakes are so delicious with maple syrup.”

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

“Awesome food , good atmosphere, great service and Family owned!!”

“Zuma really set the bar for a fantastic dining experience! Every dish was a unique delight, bursting with flavor. Our server, Alex R., was incredibly friendly and made sure we had a smooth and enjoyable meal. The flow of the meal was impeccable.”

“Beyond our expectations. Well done.”

“If you are looking for a hearty Italian meal to take back to your place after a full day in Vail, Vendettas Restaurant on Bridge Street is a very popular option to consider. We decided to get our dinner to go, and the ordering process was quick and efficient. However, waiting for the food inside the restaurant was a bit uncomfortable because it was incredibly hot inside the building. On a warm afternoon or evening, the indoor dining room can trap a lot of heat, which makes standing around waiting for a takeout order feel pretty stifling. If you are ordering during peak dinner hours when the kitchen is running at full blast and the space is crowded, you might want to step outside into the village air for a few minutes while they finish packaging up your meal.
Despite the stuffy wait inside, the food itself was packed exceptionally well and stayed completely fresh for the trip home. They line their takeout containers with heavy aluminum foil, which does an amazing job of insulating the dishes and keeping them piping hot. We ordered the fettuccine alfredo and a hearty pasta with red meat sauce and fresh basil. Both portions were generous and tasted great. The alfredo was creamy and rich without being too heavy, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The red sauce pasta had an excellent depth of flavor, and the fresh ribbons of basil on top added a nice, bright contrast to the savory meat sauce.
Getting takeout from here is definitely a solid choice if you want restaurant-quality comfort food in the comfort of your own space. The foil packaging ensures that your pasta will still be warm and delicious by the time you sit down to eat it. Just keep in mind that the interior temperature can get quite warm while you wait, so being prepared for a quick, hot pickup is part of the experience. It is a dependable spot for a satisfying Italian dinner in the village, and the quality of the food makes it worth a visit.”

“Had the truffle gnocchi and the were excellent.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Pazzo’s Pizza in Vail is hands down the best spot for pizza around. Dan Renner and the crew make every visit feel like you’re part of the family. 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!”

“Great food, great service”

“Best Hickory Burger Ever!!! We were in town for a wedding & stopped in for a quick bite. The staff was super friendly & made us feel right at home! Can’t wait to fly back for another burger!”

“Delicious good and upscale vibe.”

“The inside bar staff are always nice and courteous. The outside “tent” food was excellent. The banh mi sandwich was so good I went to congratulate the grill staff!!”

“Best pizza I’ve ever eaten. Staffs were nice and friendly , very good looking store. Will definitely be coming back a lot and would definitely recommend”
