The 18 Essential Restaurants in Vail, Colorado
"Now under new ownership and fresh off an 18-month restoration project, Vail Valley’s oldest restaurant (built in 1901) is back and better than ever. It’s set in the historic mining town of Minturn, making it a perfect pitstop for anyone traveling between Vail and Beaver Creek, or a great place for a celebratory meal for off-piste skiers who’ve just completed the backcountry Minturn Mile run. The bar, once a secret gambling room, is still chock-full of memorabilia. It’s known for its award-winning margaritas, and musts on the food menu include a cup of posole or bison chili to start, followed by sizzling fajitas, birria tacos, and a pork cheek tostada for the table." - Katie Shapiro
