Vail Restaurants
For over 60 years—The Vail Resort has been delighting skiers with its expansive, legendary 5,200 acres of skiable terrain. In the early days, Vail was simply a ski town, bustling in the winters with stretches of quiet during the fair-weather months. With the lure of the cool alpine air and boundless outdoor activities to be enjoyed, folks now recreate on area waterways and mountain trails from the spring runoff, to the golden explosion of aspens in the fall.
Vail is now a year-round playground, and certainly world-class dining is a centerpiece of the Vail experience. Toast the town as you après at local pubs, singing along with local musicians, or enjoy a sumptuous meal in intimate elegance with white tablecloths and wine parings. Vail’s culinary scene is an embarrassment of riches, and all your options from Vail to Cascade Village to West Vail are accessible on the country’s largest free bus system.
