Wayan Aspen

The Best Restaurants in Aspen, Colorado | Eater Denver

"This French Indonesian concept from Cédric and Ochi Vongerichten landed a second location in Aspen this past ski season. More sanctuary than restaurant, the moody setting is anchored by teak, rattan, Balinese masks, and a fireplace. Chef Cédric’s refined French technique amplifies Ochi’s Indonesian roots in family-style dishes like escargot rendang, lobster noodles with black‑pepper butter and Thai basil, and Colorado lamb satay served with sambal sauce. Open for lunch, après, and dinner, Wayan is a welcome antidote to predictable ski‑town dining, with a jolt of New York City energy." - Katie Shapiro
