Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Southwest Colorado right now.
With dining options ranging from creative international cuisine in the resort towns of Telluride, Crested Butte, and Durango to no-frills American fare in down-home communities like Montrose and Creede, no one has any excuse to visit a chain restaurant here. The leading chefs are tapping into the region’s local bounty, so you can find innovative recipes for ranch-raised game, lamb, and trout. Many serve only locally raised, grass-fed meats. Olathe sweet corn is a delicacy enjoyed across the state (and found in grocery stores and roadside stands as well as restaurants). Seasonal produce is highlighted on the best menus.
This craft brewery serves gourmet Himalayan fare and features live music on the weekends. Staples include tikka masala and momo dumplings, which you should be sure to pair with a pint made on-site. The restaurant is family friendly, though after dark, expect the true ski-town pub experience, as the bar fills with locals and travelers alike toasting the day's turns.
