Top Après Ski Telluride Mountain Dining
You’ve spent the day on the mountain, blazing a trail through the backcountry, or just getting your feet wet on the easier slopes. No matter what kind of skier you are, the exercise builds an appetite. Once you put up your gear for the day, fill up on delicious food to recharge your batteries before heading home. There is a myriad of restaurants, near the restaurant and in town, offering fare ranging from fine Telluride mountain dining experiences to laid back atmospheres where you can recount the day’s adventures over a meal.
Located at The Peaks Resort in Mountain Village, the casual Telluride mountain dining experience also offers floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views of the mountains. Enjoy starters like truffle fries, chicken wings, or a meat and cheese board with locally sourced ingredients. There are an array of soups and salads to choose from, too. If you’re just hungry for a main dish, choose from Colorado trout, bourbon chicken, elk tenderloin, and more. They serve vegan dishes as well, including the mixed grain bowl which includes a five-grain pilaf, squash ribbons, spring salad, and more. Dinner service is 5-9 p.m.
Before riding the gondola back down the mountain, enjoy delicious fine food. The restaurant’s “elegant rustic ambiance” is just steps from San Sophia Station. Share marinated olives, spicy ahi tuna, a cheese plate, or a half-dozen east coast oysters with traditional accompaniments. Choose from Caesar salad, Wagyu beef carpaccio, or buffalo mozzarella salad before moving onto an entree. Hungry diners will want to try the filet and lobster. Pan seared jumbo scallops, wild Alaskan halibut, and vegan crispy calamari are available alongside prime Angus beef tenderloin, Colorado rack of lamb, and more. You can also create a three-course tasting menu.
The restaurant is gluten-friendly, including its pizza dough. Sink your teeth into other choices like meat or vegetarian lasagna, subs like Mama’s Meatball sub, or a variety of wraps. Choose classic American pizzas in 10”, 14”, or 18” sizes. Add traditional toppings like pepperoni, Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, and others. Mix things up with specialty toppings like black olives, jalapenos, artichoke hearts, grilled chicken, and more. Please note: all pizza is made in the same kitchen and same ovens, so completely gluten-free cannot be guaranteed.
