We had dinner at A'pres Cafe earlier this week, and it absolutely exceeded expectations. It’s the perfect cozy après-ski hang while still feeling like a chill neighborhood spot you want to come back to again and again.
The food is outstanding — truly top to bottom. Every appetizer we tried was excellent, and the shiitake truffle pizza is next-level (don’t miss it). You can tell real care and creativity go into the menu.
The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and family-friendly, making it great for locals, visitors, foodies, and anyone coming off the mountain. Melissa and Josh, the owners, were both there and are the heart of the place. Melissa was running the bar, and her personality completely lights up the restaurant. The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and brought great energy — you can tell they genuinely enjoy being there, which makes the experience feel relaxed, genuine, and welcoming from start to finish.
Whether you’re a skier looking for the perfect après spot, a local searching for a go-to neighborhood restaurant, or visiting Vail with friends or family, A’pres Cafe is a must. Huge kudos to the owners for doing such an incredible job — this place is a gem.
