As you stroll among the historic buildings in beautiful Breckenridge, it is easy to see the abundance of dining options: fine dining with panoramic views, steakhouses featuring local specialties and wild game and seafood fresh off the boat will show you that this little town has just as much epicurean appeal as a big city.
Historic District
The Historic District is home to a variety of palatable eateries many of which are set in buildings dating back to the pioneer days. Places such as The Cellar and Hearthstone Restaurant, set in Victorian homes, offer guests a taste of old fashioned Rocky Mountain living. For a unique dining experience, The Dredge Boathouse is certainly the place to be. As a floating restaurant in the Blue River, guests can dine with a majestic view, learn some local history and try the delectable steak and seafood options.
Aside from dining options whose emphasis is on the history, places like Rasta Pasta give the town an upbeat, funky vibe. Here, you can groove to some Reggae hits while eating pasta dishes with Jamaican influences. If you're looking for some live music to accompany your meal, Blue River Bistro hosts gigs by local musical artists mainly of the blues and jazz sort.
What better way to wind down after a day out on the slopes than by eating a hearty steak? Steakhouses like The Steak & Rib and The Kenosha Steak House offer mouth-watering entrees like "Colorado Lamb Chops" and smoked BBQ. Pizza parlors are also popular dining hotspots as well. Drop in Fatty's Pizzeria for pizzas with freshly-made dough, burgers, and pastas.
On top of it all, the historic area of the town is home to international fare too. Italian cuisine can be found at Taddeo's Ristorante Italiano where the "Penne Gorgonzola," and "Hazelnut Encrusted Lamb" are the thing to order. Giampietro Pasta & Pizzeria serves classic New York Style pizza as well as spaghetti and meatballs. Authentic Thai food, set in a contemporary atmosphere, can be found at My Thai. Drop into Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant for their fresh salsa and happy hour margaritas.
Get your day's energy by eating breakfast at Blue Moose Café. They have popular breakfast items such as pancakes and breakfast burritos. For more contemporary menu selections, try the likes of Cafe Alpine and Pierre's at the Riverwalk. At Pierre's, satisfy your appetite with their popular "Roasted Half Duckling" and choose French and American wines from their extensive list to complement your meal.
Four Seasons
While in the Four Seasons region of Breckenridge, stop by Quandary Grille for not only a great meal, but also for spectacular views of Maggie Pond and Peak 9. The restaurant serves contemporary American style dishes like "Cowboy Steak," "Ruby Red Trout," and much more.
Peak 9
Known for its friendly bunny slopes, Peak 9 also offers some equally friendly dining spots. Tiffany's serves classic American food and features big screen TVs for guests to get watch all the major sports games. Escape the often harsh Peak 9 elements at Spencer's Steaks & Spirits where you can have delicious steak while checking out some live entertainment too.
Warriors Mark and Baldy Mountain
Located on the top of Peak 10, Briar Rose was once a popular spot for miner's to eat. Today, they dish up steak and seafood entrees, pastas, and have options for vegetarians.
If heights don't make you queasy, try dining 10,200 feet up at the Top of the World, where it is hard to choose between taking your eyes off the view or your fork off the food. Any foodie can appreciate the diverse menu blending local ingredients with entrees like "Venison Sausage" and "Elk Tenderloin Medallions."
