Breckenridge Restaurants & Bars

Breckenridge is a lively, sophisticated resort with an international clientele. The town has over 50 restaurants to satisfy all appetites and pockets. The choice runs from American through Chinese, Cajun, Italian, French, Tex-Mex and Japanese

The main snag with Breckenridge restaurants is pretension – what you see is often less than what you get. This being so, personal recommendations count a lot and will vary from year to year so talk to locals and to other guests and ask what they suggest.

Places that have stood the test of several visits are the Café Alpine, Pierre's at the Riverwalk, and the pricey (but just worth it) Top of the World at the Lodge and Spa.

If you’re looking for breakfast, look no further than the Blue Moose Café. Located in the heart of the downtown, the Blue Moose offers a great homecooked breakfast at reasonable prices. Just be sure to bring cash, since they don’t take credit cards!

Kenosha Steakhouse serves contemporary Japanese-American steakhouse cuisine in a friendly atmosphere with an extensive drink menu. Also be sure to check out the Breckenridge Brewery. The restaurant offers hearty portions of standard, but tasty bar fare at exceedingly reasonable prices. The beer has garnered acclaim, so much so that the brewery recently began distribution throughout Colorado.

If you’re looking for the locals’ favorite bar, look no further than Downstairs at Eric’s, an unassuming sports bar. Eric’s is a great deal, offering a large selection of cold draft beer and remarkably good bar food at non resort prices. The pizza’s great and the hot wings are not to be missed. Locals also like the Gold Pan, an authentic Western saloon.
