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!”

“We loved this restaurant so much! They have both good and authentic Chinese and Thai food. The sushi there was fresh and tasty. The sushi chef “Fei” even came to our table to ask about how we like the sushi when he was available. We talked a little bit and knowing that he has been working as a sushi chef for over 16 years. I would like to say my sushi was not only a dish but also an art work. I will recommend this restaurant to my friends if they come for skiing。”

“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.”

“I would just like to clarify firstly for the business that I had put my name on the list to wait for a table and my name is “Bri”. When I went inside, I tried telling the gentlemen that I was just called for a table for 2 for Bri. I think he had mistaken that I had said a table for 3. I felt so bad because the lovely lady had a table ready for us already and there was just a slight confusion. I truly felt so bad realizing that the two words sounded pretty close to being the same.

ANYWAY, the sushi here is amazing! I will 100% be returning as a loyal customer, the yellow tail was absolutely amazing. Don’t listen to the reviews. For someone who misses my brother every day in Japan and always looks for a genuine Japanese sushi restaurants this is the spot to hit. Please take the chance to go and try their food. Hand rolls, sashimi, and speciality.

Their service here is fantastic as well. I enjoyed every second.”

“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!”

“Went there for breakfast and lunch while in Vail. Food is fabulous and staff is friendly and professional. Highly recommend!!”

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

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

“Oh.My.Lord! Amazing!!! We went for dinner 12/5 while up at Vail. Charles, one of the managers, was thoughtful, checked to see how our experience was…it was second-to-none! The restaurant is beautiful, love the open kitchen, the staff—kind, informative, attentive. But the food! Next level!! The pork shank is the best pork I’ve ever had . . . wow! Charles told us the lengthy process it takes to make that, so delicious! The clam chowder was exceptional; they smoke the clams before putting in the chowder. That slight smoky flavor made this the best chowder I’ve ever tasted!
In summary, beautiful restaurant, great customer service and outstanding food!! Go!! You won’t be disappointed.”

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

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

“Leonora, located inside The Sebastian Vail boutique hotel, is a gem for anyone seeking exceptional service and delicious cuisine. The staff goes above and beyond to make every dining experience memorable, pairing their warm hospitality with attention to detail. A must-try on the menu is the avocado toast—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Leonora’s inviting ambiance, combined with its standout dishes, makes it a perfect spot for a memorable meal in Vail. Highly recommended!”

“Comida deliciosa y servicio excepcional. A pesar de la familia García que fue muy ruidosa, el personal hizo todo para asegurarse de que tuviéramos una buena experiencia. Muy agradecidos por cómo manejaron todo.”

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

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

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

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

“It's such a special place. Our company had a conference and I was able to watch my husband charge the race course above. We just shared amazing moments with our colleagues and friends. It was such a wonderful experience.”

“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!”

“Excellent experience. I had the fish, it was like Arctic char, but had a different name. Very tasty. Also had an artichoke salad that was unique and excellent. Then they served strawberry cotton candy with chocolates! Then I had the three sorbets, with fruit. I got there early, so the atmosphere was quiet. The people were super friendly, including hostess, waiters,etc. Outside the restaurant is a piano bar, that was casual and cozy. I highly recommend this place.”

“As usual an excellent meal.”

“Went with Friends. Great food.”

“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.”

“We eat here every year while visiting Vail as it is our favorite! Perfect French restaurant! They serve a fabulous fois gras terrine as well as a traditional chocolate, and more importantly, lemon soufflé for dessert! Best French food in the heart of Vail Village. Iliya is a consummate professional waiter.”

“I have eaten at Bully Ranch several times over the years. The staff is always so nice and accommodating! The food is delicious! Enjoyed meeting pastry chef Irma!”

“What a fabulous lunch. Patrick our waiter was knowledgeable, courteous attentive and cute! The food was great too. Carrot honey chicken sandwich best ever! Elk meatball sub was excellent. Fries in duck fat, there are no words. Topped off with a dark chocolate, baby guava tart…..what can I say. All Patrick’s suggestions…thank you.”

“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+.”

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

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

“You'd think that being in Vail and in a golf club, this would be expensive as hell. It's not, given all that. We had a quick stop and hastily picked up a sandwich and our server treated us very nicely and the food was high quality. The sandwich with the side of fries was like 18 bucks. Highly recommend. And the views were gorgeous.”

“We had a good lunch here! We went on a Sunday and it wasn’t too busy for lunch. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and my friends got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and the chicken passion sandwich (I think that’s what it was called! It came with like a plum sauce). It was exactly what I wanted and the bread specifically is amazing! Had a local feel to it. The plum sauce was good too. It is sweet, but not too much and goes well with the chicken (or the fries!)

Vegetarian options: There was a mushroom burger and a black bean burger option”

“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.”

“Great place to go if you just want a chill/typical bar environment. A lot of local people come to this bar.

Also the duck is amazing so I would recommend getting that!”

“Cool place. Seated quick. Took a while for a waiter to grace our table. We both got burgers. They were ok. Performed patty. Probably a frozen one. Fries were weirdly crunchy. I don’t like limp fries but overly crunchy is just weird. I always prefer hand cut fries.”

“the lady working by herself today was awesome. she did everything accurately, quickly, and with a smile even though it was fairly busy. it's unfortunate that the employees here are unable to accept tips and i hope they're getting the recognition they deserve.”

“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 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.”

“I love this cafe! Everyone is so nice, and the food and coffee are SO good. The red haired girl, Belu I think, is so sweet and she always remembers my drink and my name! Also, the rest of the girls are so nice! I definitely recommend their cappuccino and Nutella croissant. Definitely will come back!

Best place in the village 🩷”

“Such a lovely cafe in vail. We had the winter soup and avocado toast and were both in love with our meals. Listen. If you are an avocado toast connoisseur, I am telling you, you HAVE to try their toast. It is insane. I’m still dreaming about it. Highly recommend this cafe if you’re 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.”

“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 enjoyed the mahi tacos and hummus, both of which were fresh and flavorful. The presentation was stunning, and the live music contributed to a relaxed atmosphere. Brendan made great drinks and provided amazing service.”

“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.”

“Delicious good and upscale vibe.”

“Dining at Elways was a truly memorable experience. The ambiance was both elegant and inviting, and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly specially Victor, great seevice Dragon, Buddy.The food was absolutely delicious, and perfectly crafted. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience.”

“The food is outstanding. Our kids love it so much we eat here almost every night while staying at the Hythe. Geovanny is the best server. We’ve eaten here more than 5 times, and he is by far the best. Cheers!”

“Really excellent food in a surprising location. Thai does not feel like a natural fit for Vail or for the location, but the food objectively very good. We’ve never had a bad meal here.”

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

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

“Margeritta and Marie were amazing. Very personable and saying that we are here all the way from Virginia, they were quick to give us the lay of the land. Drinks were amazing and definitely made us feel welcomed!!!”

“This is a bar that serves a ton of food (mostly takeout, I think). The pizza is much better than the choices in the Vail Village. Staff are very efficient. Hang out for a beer while you wait for dinner.”

“Cute coffee shop with a real good spread of pastries and donuts. Got a lot of indoor and outdoor space but is also quite popular with tourists. Service is quick and would certainly recommend the donuts and croissants. Coffee could be stronger.”

“Hands down the best McDonald's I have ever had the chance to eat at. They're quick, kind , efficient, and to top it all of the food is fresh and does not give me the oh so popular McDonald's after... I highly suggest trying them out and be nice they are very good people!

Parking: Located in the Walmart on the Home Depot side

Kid-friendliness: I would definitely take my kids to eat here because of the freshness of the food

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“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.”

“My wife looked up GF cafes in Vail and the Treff cafe came up. It serves a range of GF baked goods. The blueberry muffins were particularly good in both GF and non GF. The location is great in the pedestrian free part of Vail. Service was very good and the open area in front of the cafe is wonderful on a bright sunny day.”

“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”

“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.”

“Great food, great service”

“really cute, very tasty! I had the breakfast sandwich on a croissant and an oat milk latte. They have a lot of cold drinks like tea and gatorade too that might make this a good stop-off after a hike. Would definitely recommend!”

“The French Toast Croissants were delicious.”

“Great night out in Dollar!”

“Incredible hidden gem for apre ski. Great drink specials, indoor or outdoor seating with plenty of space. The two younger gentlemen behind the bar, free entertainment on their own but also provided great service. Thank you. Had a great time, we will be back.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

P.s. one of the best bars in town to go to.. it’s reasonably priced and adds that extra texture of comfort being one of the locals favorite… for a good reason”
