Breckenridge is the ultimate playground for snow and nature lovers. By evening, nothing is better than a local-recommended comforting meal by the fire. Where are the best restaurants in Breckenridge, Colorado?

Here are a handful of the tastiest places to satisfy any appetite. 

Breckenridge Distillery

Breckenridge Distillery Restaurant brings unique flavors and good company together in a relaxed mountain setting. The head chef designed the menu to give people local, seasonal, and approachable dishes – American food that compliments the fantastic spirits of the Distillery. 

Dine on favorites like the Hipster Fries (fries, shishito peppers, bacon, and parmesan), pan-seared duck, and family-style steak. After dinner, share an order of Drunken Doughnuts served with sauces created with their signature liquors – Breckenridge Spiced Rum, Pear Vodka, and Bourbon. 

Modis 

Modis is a bistro-style restaurant set in a Victorian home and brings modern Asian-flavored fare along with some of the best cocktails in town. Try the mussels – a dish complimented with applewood smoked bacon, garlic, fennel, jalapeno, white wine, fresh herbs, tomatoes, and a sliced baguette for dipping.

Pho Real

Pho Real is one of our favorite places to eat in Breckenridge after a day on the slopes. This casual pho-centric eatery brings the traditional Vietnamese soups, customizable by type of protein. You can build your bowl to include fixings like basil, bean sprouts, jalapeno, fresh limes, and of course, Sriracha.

Pioneer Crossing

You won’t need a horse to get here, just a trusty pair of skis! With gorgeous views at the top of Peak 7 (right off the Independence Super Chair), this is a popular on-mountain lunch experience.

At Pioneer Crossing you’ll find hearty, honest food in an atmosphere full of camaraderie and character. After your meal, saddle up your skis and continue right down the mountain.

Southridge Seafood Grill 

Where some seafood restaurants have a mixture of seafood and meat dishes, Southridge keeps seafood firmly at the heart of the menu. The décor is traditional and unpretentious and the fully stocked bar, which is often busy with locals, acts as a centerpiece of the restaurant.
