Keystone Mountain Restaurants
Fine dining and a family atmosphere do not always sit easily together but Keystone manages to cater to both.To go upscale, take the gondola to the Alpenglow Stube mountain
restaurant, which claims to have the best haute cuisine of any ski
resort in North America-it stands at 11,444 feet (3,488 m) so one
hopes the “haute” is not a pun. The Wild Boar is recommended and
the wine list extensive. Another restaurant requiring transport is
the Soda Creek Homestead, reached by horse-drawn sleigh, but for a
really reliable gourmet evening try the Ski Tip Lodge or the
Keystone Ranch-both highly rated by regular customers.
You can eat very well indeed in and around Keystone-and, as a
final tip, try the steaks at the Keystone Lodge. Keystone has four
mountain restaurants: two cafeterias, one gourmet dining, and one
BBQ. At night, one of the cafeterias converts to the Der
Fondue Chessel, a Bavarian-style fondue restaurant complete with
raclette, live music, dancing, and lots of food.
