Beaver Creek

Mirabelle

You can't lock Belgium-born Master Chef Daniel Joly's creations into a specific style of cooking. Just expect imaginative preparations of classic dishes, artfully presented. His unique style of cooking and choice of wines have been acclaimed by many, including Bon Appétit and Wine Spectator. Have a drink before the fireplace in the bar, then move to one of the intimate dining rooms for your meal.

Foxnut

You can order traditional sushi, but venture beyond into the New Age sushi menu. Crab with truffle yuzu aioli, Seared Kobe "surf & turf" with spicy scallops and Seared Elk with Maui onion marmalade are just a few of the choices. The menu also includes both cold and warm shared plates filled with a variety of Asian fusion fare.

Dusty Boot Steakhouse and Saloon

As the name implies, the Boot is a noisy, large saloon with an old-fashioned tin ceiling, big TVs and features wicked barbeque and steaks. Visiting Beaver Creek with friends? Check the "Buy a Friend" drink board to see if you name is on it.

Blue Moon Pizza

Blue Moon Pizza serves subs, pasta and New York-style hand-tossed pizza on tables covered with red-checked tablecloths. Colorful kid-like drawings on the wall set the tone in this family-friendly restaurant. The kids menu includes Mac 'n Cheese and Chicken Fingers.

Lunch

In the cafeteria at the mid-mountain Spruce Saddle restaurant you'll find chili, stews, pasta, wraps, salad bars and more all at separate counters. Views are excellent but the tables get packed mid-day.

A quieter, fast place for lunch is the Cafe in the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek. Ski up and leave your equipment with the hotel's valet. Buy gourmet sandwiches made to order, a cappuccino and a pastry at the counter then find a quiet table nearby. http://beavercreek.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/entertainment/restaurants/index.jsp#1662

Breakfast in Avon

Join the locals in line at the Avon Bakery & Deli to order a breakfast burrito, or a bacon, egg and cheese bagel. Nothing fancy here, just a few tables in the back and stools at a small counter. The big draw: tasty breakfasts, and lunch sandwiches with delicious, imaginative fillings tucked into freshly baked artisan breads.
