Many local chefs are inspired by and draw from fresh, locally sourced ingredients and serve seasonal menus that reflect their desire to show off the best of what’s available in the region like Colorado lamb and bison.
And even though Colorado is a land-locked state, fresh fish is abundant in Sushi spots (flown in daily) or from nearby rivers and lakes (think trout galore).

During ski season and at the height of summer (mid-June through mid-August), you’ll want to be sure to call ahead for reservations.
Breckenridge Restaurants and Local Specialties
Breckenridge is home to old western saloons (one that’s been in operation since 1879) along with other eateries housed in historic buildings from the mid-1880s period. Still, the cuisine available in Breckenridge restaurants is quite contemporary. Some of the special dishes you’ll want to taste around town include garbage pizzas (delicious, thick-crusted, mountain-style pies loaded with everything), crepes (the outdoor stand always has a line, and there’s a reason), savory steaks and novelty desserts like fried Twinkies. Also, most places offer a kid’s menu for your wee ones.
