Park City and the Southern Wasatch Restaurants

American cuisine dominates the Wasatch dining scene, with great steaks, barbecue, and traditional Western fare. There's also an abundance of good seafood, which the busier eateries fly in daily from the West Coast. Park City caters to a discriminating clientele with upscale restaurants ranging from Swiss to Japanese, French, and Mexican. Restaurant hours vary seasonally, so it's a good idea to call ahead. Reservations are always a good idea, but are essential during winter holiday weekends and the Sundance Film Festival. Ask about two-for-ones. Park City restaurants offer great deals, such as two-for-one entrées from spring to fall, so check the local newspaper for coupons or ask your concierge which eateries are offering discounts.

  • 1. Chimayo

    $$$$

    Chef Arturo Flores will delight you with tantalizing dishes such as duck breast enchiladas, tortilla soup (his grandmother's recipe), a giant ahi tuna taco, or melt-off-the-bone spareribs in this upscale Southwestern restaurant. Order a house-made margarita (try the serrano margarita for an extra kick), and enjoy the cozy and intimate feel of this popular eatery. Star-shape lanterns illuminate the Mission-style terra-cotta tiles of this restaurant where the service is excellent and the menu is inspired.

  • 2. Communal

    $$$$ | Historic Downtown

    This cozy restaurant will feel a lot like a Sunday dinner around a large communal table, and you'll feel like you're part of the family. Meals are sourced from local food purveyors, like Payson Spring Ranch, which supplies live trout to the restaurant just hours before you sit down to eat. Chef Adam Cold is known for his devotion to local ingredients and the integrity of his butchering skills to bring the best cuts to the table whether it's a pork loin chop or the filet of a trout. There's an open kitchen at Communal, and the mantra is not to get in the way of a perfect ingredient like Snuck Farm carrots roasted simply with allspice. Don't miss the Saturday brunch with blueberry buttermilk pancakes, better than your childhood favorite.

Feast in old-European style for hours and savor the raclette cheese melted by the fire paired with bread and charcuterie with house-made pickles, basil jam, and fig mustard. Wrap up the night with a dessert fondue of green apples dipped in white chocolate sauce made with Grand Marnier.

Sample different chocolates, then take home a finished bar of smooth Old-World chocolate.
