Mirabelle - Review - Beaver Creek - Vail - The Infatuation

"Nestled in a charming farmhouse near the entrance of Beaver Creek, Mirabelle has been around for over 40 years and makes some of the best French food in town. Go with the four-course tasting menu, which changes frequently but may include tuna tartare, Maine lobster with chorizo sauce, roasted duck with pickled mushrooms, and a smooth vanilla crème brûlée to finish. If the fireplace lounge and candlelit dining area feel like rooms at your rich friend’s cottage, that’s because the chef and his wife actually live upstairs. We think they should turn the whole place into an alpine bed and breakfast, but we’ll settle for coming here to celebrate a successful day on the mountain." - Kim Fuller
