The 21 Essential Aspen Restaurants

"Situated in a second-floor space, this 10,000-square-foot, indoor-outdoor location by Catch Hospitality Group boasts sweeping views from Aspen Mountain to Red Mountain and heated patio seating year-round. Taking inspiration from the original Meatpacking District location in New York, Catch Steak tilts the traditional steakhouse model through a lighter, brighter, and fresher menu featuring shareable plates, a curated selection of American cuts, and a focused selection of Japanese wagyu (including snow beef from the Hokkaido prefecture, often called the “holy grail of wagyu”). For herbivores, there’s also a thoughtful selection of vegetarian and vegan options, like a vegetarian chicken parm (a plant-based cutlet with old-school red sauce) and wild dover sole with lemon-caper emulsion, spicy gigli, and aged pecorino." - Katie Shapiro
