As a Park City concierge and writer for Dishing Park City, my #1 job is to know all of the best restaurants in Park City, Utah. I’ve been here for nearly six years now, and just when I think I’ve tried every Park City restaurant, new ones open up. Fortunately, my favorite restaurants in Park City aren’t going anywhere, so I will never run out of good places to eat. Which is good, because my tiny kitchen is not conducive to cooking!

My Top Five Best Restaurants in Park City

Most visitors have to narrow down their dining options and don’t have the leisure to eat at every single restaurant in Park City. Narrowing it down is tough, but between my own experiences and guest feedback, these are my top five places to eat in Park City. Except for Tupelo, all of these are in Old Town.

• Courchevel Bistro is a fantastic French restaurant in Park City; it’s a go-to for date nights and special occasions. Their baked brie appetizer is a must, and I’ve several amazing entrees, including Venison Loin Medallion, the Chicken Ballotine, and Steak Frites. Service is always on point and their patio on Main Street is perfect.
• Handle – a delicious farm-to-table restaurant with tons of small plates for sharing and delicious entrees. The sweet chili-glazed cauliflower is a must, and the fried chicken is always amazing! It’s also a favorite hangout for the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City!
• Yuki Yama Sushi has the best sushi in Park City! Fresh fish is flown in daily, and they have a great selection of rolls and hot and cold plates. My favorites are Mr. Miyagi and 84060 rolls. Reservations are a must, and can be made up to 60 days in advance.
• Butcher’s Chop House – one of my personal faves, with a great patio right under the town lift on Park Ave. They also have alpenglobes and a large yurt in the winter months. When I’m craving a chopped salad, I go to Butcher’s. Fantastic appetizers and seafood, too!
• Tupelo Park City is another delicious destination for dinner or brunch in Park City. The chef is from the south, so they are known for their biscuits, but you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. I had mussels here for the first time in my life, and the bar is set quite high now.

Don’t forget to prepare for the high altitude in Park City, or a headache might ruin your trip!

Park City Main Street Restaurants

When you visit Park City, you have to spend at least one evening in Old Town on historic Main Street. It’s such a great little downtown area with historic buildings and holiday decorations. Old Town is also where a lot of the best Park City restaurants are found. Most of these restaurants are only open for dinner. Lunch in Park City is more casual, but there are still some good options! Most Park City restaurants open their books 30-60 days in advance, so make sure you set a reminder, as all the restaurants fill up quickly during ski season, especially during big events like the Sundance Film Festival.

Joining a Local Food Walking Tour is a great way to sample several of these Park City dining spots!

Best Dinner Restaurants on Main Street

• Riverhorse on Main – Park City’s most popular restaurant and toughest reservation to get. Signature dishes include the wild game trio and macadamia-crusted halibut.
• Firewood on Main – amazing woodfire-cooked entrees, served in five courses. Fantastic dinner menu and ambiance. I mean, if it’s good enough for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce! They had dinner here a few weeks after the 2025 Super Bowl.
• Purple Sage – Western comfort food at its best; appetizers like bleu cheese fondue and chicken tamales, and the best bread pudding you’ll ever try!
• Prime Steakhouse & Piano Bar – classic steakhouse with live music in the bar each night. Super delicious steaks, side dishes, and desserts.
• Fletcher’s is a tough reservation to get, but it’s worth it as the space on Main Street is very cozy, and the food is great. Their short rib grilled cheese sandwich is award-winning and really does melt in your mouth!
• Cafe Terigo – another great Italian restaurant on Main Street; the smoked chicken risotto is outstanding. They have the same amazing bread pudding you’ll find at Purple Sage. (also open for lunch!)
• Nelson Cottage by High West – a prix fixe menu with optional whiskey pairings. Check their website for the weekly menu each Thursday. The hours and days here seem to be sporadic, and it’s hard to reach anyone. If you can get in, it’s a fun experience with excellent food.
• Chimayo – upscale, Southwest-influenced cuisine. Entrees like duck enchiladas or elk fajitas mix Western cuisine with Southwest flavors. This is not Mexican food!
• Grappa – an upscale Italian restaurant in a historic boarding house at the top of Main Street. If you can get a window seat or a seat on the patio, it’s one of the few spots on Main Street with nice views.
• 710 Bodega is the most recent Park City restaurant I have tried. I had always gotten positive feedback from my guests, but for some reason, I was skeptical. I was also wrong. This tapas restaurant on Main Street was fantastic. The seafood plates were phenomenal, as well as the baked brie and desserts.
• Shabu has great sushi, hot pot and other Asian fusion dishes. Delicious cocktails, too!

Best Casual Restaurants in Park City

If you want a little bit of flexibility and don’t feel like making reservations, there are a few casual dining options that I can recommend, but expect very long wait times during ski season, especially on weekends and holidays! These are my top picks for a casual lunch or dinner in Park City.

• High West Saloon is a fantastic gastropub near the Town Lift. They claim to be the only ski-in gastro distillery. It gets super busy, but you can put your name on the list and wander around until a table opens up. Their charcuterie board is the perfect apres-ski snack.
• Boneyard Saloon is a local hangout with great food and drinks, and it’s adults-only, which is always a bonus! The rooftop is the best spot for a summer cocktail.
• Davanza’s – a great place for pizza by the slice near the base of PCMR on Park Ave. The local special is two slices and a soda for around $11.50, and you don’t even have to be a local!
• Red Banjo Pizza Parlour – Park City’s oldest business has been serving pizza on Main Street longer than the town has had ski lifts. (Choose this over Main Street Pizza and Noodle!)
• 501 Main – one of the few Park City restaurants serving lunch on Main Street. They have a pretty traditional American menu; I had a 1/2 Caesar Salad with 1/2 cup of lobster bisque and enjoyed both!
• Flanagan’s – if you’re looking for an Irish pub in Park City, this is it. If you’re looking for Irish comfort food, the Whiskey Chicken Boxty is delicious.
• Wasatch Brew Pub, now called Top of Main, has a large beer selection, excellent bar food, and a lovely patio (plus an igloo in the winter!)
• Big Dipper – since I’m not a soup fan, it took me a while to come here, but I’m mad that I waited so long. I also happened to visit during the fall Dine About when they had a great prix fixe lunch. The concept is sandwiches with a side of soup for dipping. My soup, sandwich and fries were all fantastic. Didn’t love their fry sauce, but that’s pretty subjective.

Newer Restaurants in Park City

We’ve had a lot of new restaurants open in recent years, and there are a few I’m still waiting to try. Since these aren’t on the “old favorites” list yet, it’s still possible to get decent reservations sometimes.

• Matilda is a new pizza place from the owners of Five Seeds. They specialize in made-from-scratch sourdough pizza.
• Pinecone Ridge has been around a few years on Main Street. It’s the newest concept from Bill White restaurants, and I’ve heard only good things about their food.
• Le Depot is a welcome addition to the old train station on Main Street. Since their opening last winter, they have hosted some fun parties and festivals at their corner patio, and they’ve just added a Saturday jazz brunch.
• LOMA is the latest venture from the chef/owner of Twisted Fern. This Italian spot on Lower Main has a great menu of pizza, pasta, and entrees. We had spicy ricotta rigatoni and the hot honey pepperoni pizza. They were both HOT but delicious.

Best Breakfast in Park City

Coming from a big brunch city like Chicago, finding Park City restaurants that serve breakfast was challenging! People come to ski, so they aren’t lingering over breakfast or brunch. Most Park City hotels offer some kind of breakfast option, with a few doing brunch as well. A skier’s breakfast is a rushed affair, but there are a few awesome restaurants vying for the best breakfast in Park City.

• Harvest is my favorite spot for a healthy breakfast in Park City. Avocado everything, for the win!
• Eating Establishment – if you want a traditional breakfast in Park City, they have a good menu. Pancakes, eggs, you name it. Expect a wait on the weekends. (Also, Modern Family fans will love that this restaurant is owned by Ty Burrell aka Phil Dunphy; his wife is from Utah!)
• The Bridge Cafe & Grill – at the bottom of Main Street next to the town lift; nice sunny patio with good food and a huge drink menu. Also great for lunch.
• Atticus Coffee & Tea House has one of my favorite breakfasts to go. “The Usual” is just a bagel with cream cheese, avocado, and everything bagel seasoning. It’s super good, and their terrace is a great place to watch the Town Lift spin.
• Park City Roadhouse Grill also has a classic breakfast menu and it’s not far from Main Street.
• For a cheap, hearty breakfast in Park City, Silver Summit Cafe is a local’s secret. It’s in a gas station off Highway 40, but they have the most reasonable prices in town. Think diner food, though, nothing fancy!
• It took me five years, but I finally tried Five 5eeds. Yes, it was delicious. No, I cannot afford to spend $30 on a solo brunch regularly. I can definitely see why people line up for a seat. I even ate the tomatoes on my avocado toast; it was that good!

Park City Restaurants in Prospector

Prospector is a small Park City neighborhood about ten minutes from Main Street. Since it’s not exactly on Main Street, you won’t have as much traffic and crowds or quite inflated prices, and there are still some great places to eat. Unlike Main Street restaurants, most of these have a little bit of parking, too.

• Blind Dog Restaurant & Raw Bar has amazing seafood and sushi, as well as other American food options.
• Freshies is probably my favorite place to eat in Park City. Everything lobster – lobster rolls, lobster sliders, lobster bisque, lobster mac. Yum!
• Grub Steak is a classic Western steakhouse. They even have a salad bar! It’s not fancy, but it’s an old favorite so it gets busy, especially when they have live music on weekend evenings.
• Sammy’s Bistro – great lunch or dinner spot; casual atmosphere with great food.
• El Chubasco – cheap, tasty Mexican food with an impressive salsa bar.
• Alberto’s – lots of bang for your buck at this Mexican spot in Prospector. A $10 breakfast burrito can easily feed two people.
• Twisted Fern – a cute place with a New American menu for lunch and dinner in Snow Creek Shopping Center. The burger is yummy, but they need to add fry sauce; we’re in Utah!
• Wasatch Bagel & Grill has a pretty good Park City breakfast, just don’t expect great bagels. They do have great burgers, too!
• Windy Ridge Cafe is like a Park City version of Cracker Barrel, and I mean that in a good way! Rustic furnishings and classic American dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Deer Valley Restaurants

If you are staying at Deer Valley Ski Resort, you might prefer the convenience of eating in one of the many Deer Valley restaurants. From casual to fine dining, there are a ton of options for dining in Deer Valley. But don’t expect “casual” prices; these are Deer Valley restaurants, after all! I’m still working my way through the best restaurants in Deer Valley, but our guests love these Deer Valley dining spots. Reservations are recommended for most restaurants, at least 60 days in advance during ski season.

Check out my insider’s guide to Deer Valley Utah!

• Deer Valley Grocery Cafe is a convenient spot at the base of Deer Valley for sandwiches and snacks, plus a few limited groceries. Very good sandwiches, but expect to pay Deer Valley prices! This summer, they are doing live music on the patio on Thursdays from 12-3.
• Rime at The St Regis Deer Valley – a fantastic view in every direction, plus award-winning food and an extensive wine list. The more casual option, Brasserie 7452 has the best lobster rolls if you’re willing to splurge!
• La Stellina at the St. Regis Deer Valley makes its pasta fresh daily, and it has some of the best calamari I’ve ever tried.
• Brass Tag – an Italian restaurant located in the Lodges at Deer Valley; handmade pasta and woodfire pizzas. The bruschetta here is fantastic!
• Royal Street Cafe, Empire Canyon Grill, Snow Park Restaurant, and Silver Lake Lodge are all ski-in ski-out lunch spots on the mountain.
• Cast and Cut | Seafood Dining at Snow Park Lodge combines the Cast and Cut menu with an all-you-can eat seafood buffet.
• Cena – a casual Italian restaurant in the Chateaux at Silver Lake
• Goldener Hirsch – German lodge at Silver Lake Village serving fondue and German favorites like schnitzel.
• Fireside Dining – Swiss raclette-style four-course meal with the option to add a sleigh ride before, during, or after dinner.
• Apex, Yama Sushi, and Daly’s Pub at the Montage Deer Valley – unless you are a guest of the hotel, it can be hard to get a reservation during the busy season.
• Glitretind and Troll Hallen at Stein Eriksen Lodge. Sunday Brunch at Stein is legendary, but expect a long wait!

Park City Mountain and Canyons Restaurants

The “other” ski resorts in Park City also have a bunch of restaurants on their mountains. Park City Mountain, or PCMR, has two base villages. One is at Park City Mountain and the other is called Canyons Village. Park City Mountain Resort is close enough to Main Street that you will most likely have breakfast or lunch on the mountain or at the base village and dinner somewhere on Main Street.

Where to Eat at Park City Mountain Resort

• Baja Cantina
• Silver Star Cafe at the base of the Silver Star Chairlift. The menu looks fantastic, they often have live music and they have yurts in the winter.
• Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse at Hotel Park City

Where to Eat at Canyons Village

• epc at Hyatt Centric Park City is reasonably priced and never crowded
• Edge Steakhouse at Westgate Resort
• Drafts Burger Bar at Westgate Resort – huge delicious burgers and amazing appetizers!
• Red Pine Lodge at the top of the gondola
• The Farm
• Kita or Das Olas at the Pendry

Taking the Red Pine Gondola to hiking trails is one of my favorite Park City Summer activities!

Unique Dining Experiences in Park City

There are a couple of unique places to eat in Park City that are more about the experience than the food, although the food is usually pretty good too! For the yurt and the sleigh rides, book early as these fill up weeks or months in advance!

Find all the best things to do in Park City in winter!

• The Viking Yurt – a snowcat sleigh ride leads to a four-course European-style dinner on Park City Mountain Resort.
• Snowed Inn Sleigh Rides – horse-drawn sleigh rides and dinner with Western entertainment at their lodge on Park City Mountain Resort
• Rime RAW Bar & Cabin – oysters and lobster rolls in a cabin on the slopes of Deer Valley. Ski-in, or buy a day pass for the Jordanelle gondola and walk over.
• High West Distillery – this one is far from Main Street, but many Park City visitors love making the trip out to High West Distillery in Wanship
• The Nordic Yurt is probably my favorite dining experience in the area. Located at Soldier Hollow in Midway, you snowshoe to a charming yurt for a gourmet 4-course meal. At around $300 per person, it’s pricy, but it’s perfect for a Park City celebration dinner.

Tips for Enjoying Park City Restaurants

I’ve learned a lot as a local concierge, and my tips can help you ensure you get the restaurants you want and not waste time or money on bad food! Or, you can hire me as your personal Park City concierge to plan your trip for you!

• If a restaurant takes reservations, YOU NEED RESERVATIONS! Most restaurants will open their books 60-90 days in advance. Set a reminder. That’s how concierges get the coveted tables at restaurants; we go online at 12:01 am to snag new dates!
• It’s not a terrible idea to make dinner reservations earlier than you would eat at home. Skiing burns a ton of calories, and I’ve seen many New Yorkers cancel their 9 pm dinner reservations because they were just too tired.
• If you are spending Christmas in Park City, you may need to plan even further in advance. Many restaurants and hotels will offer a special prix fixe Christmas menu. This is also often the case during the Sundance Film Festival in late January.
• Pay attention to the cancellation policy. Most restaurants have a cancellation policy and will require a credit card to confirm the reservations. This is because too many entitled people think it’s ok to reserve tables all over town and not show up. Write down the cancellation policy and make sure you adhere to it or you will be charged!
• If you’re traveling in a group of six or more, you need to plan far in advance and even then, prepare to eat dinner at 5:00 or 8:00. Many Park City restaurants are quite small and can’t afford to seat large parties in the prime dinner hour. Otherwise, be prepared to split into smaller tables.
• If you ignore my advice and arrive with no dinner reservations, don’t ask “What’s good?” Ask “What’s available?” If you don’t have a concierge to assist you, go on both OpenTable and Resy and pull up your dates. This is the best way to know what’s available because 70% of restaurants in Park City use one of these two platforms. This is when Kimball Junction restaurants come in clutch.
• Be prepared for off-season closures and/or limited service. Once the slopes close in mid-April, we’re done. Anyone in hospitality is burned out from over five months of abuse from entitled tourists. Many restaurants and some hotels will close from mid-April through early June, and then again from mid-October to mid-November. There will always be something open, but your choices will be limited. It can also be a great time to get into the best restaurants on short notice.
• Parking around Main Street can be challenging. If you find a spot, the meters and garage are not expensive, but traffic can be a hassle. If your hotel has a shuttle, that’s a good option; otherwise, the public buses are free, clean, and easy to use. Aside from the hotel restaurants, I don’t know of any restaurant that has valet parking.
  • Keep in mind that Utah has extremely strict DUI/OWI enforcement. .05 is the legal limit, and altitude can amplify the effect of alcohol, so don’t drink and drive!
