"Meat & Cheese is exactly what it sounds like — and so much more. By day, it’s a market and bistro slinging farm-forward fare that’s always packed. The menu is built around hyperlocal ingredients and global street food: think Thai coconut soup, rotisserie chicken to share, tacos du jour, and beautifully arranged charcuterie boards. Swing by in the evening when it transforms into a low-key dinner spot where you can walk in (no reservations available) with serious flavor. It’s equal parts gourmet grocer and neighborhood hangout — and consistently one of Aspen’s best bets for a casual bite." - Katie Shapiro
"This always-busy all-day cafe is known for its rotisserie chicken and, maybe unsurprisingly, meat and cheese plates. The bossam Korean pork platter, though, with butter lettuce, kimchi, ginger scallion sauce, and white rice, is mandatory for every first-timer. Don’t miss the daily lunch taco special, which rotates between brisket, steak, mahi mahi, fried chicken, and more. And stop by their connected boutique on the way out for cured chorizo, imported brie, local goat cheese, and even a custom gift basket for the friend who couldn’t make the trip." - Katie Shapiro
"Meat and Cheese doesn’t accept reservations, but don’t let a little wait deter you from dining at the beloved Aspen gem. As the name suggests, the menu focuses on local and sustainable raised meat and cheese, which changes with the seasons." - Elise Taylor
"Meat & Cheese recently got new owners, but don’t worry—this Aspen all-day classic cafe is still serving its signature rotisserie chicken and steak boards to share. The bossam Korean pork platter, though, with butter lettuce, kimchi, ginger scallion sauce, and white rice is mandatory for every first-timer. Don’t miss the daily taco special for lunch or their connected boutique on the way out for cured chorizo, fancy gouda, and maybe a custom gift basket or party tray." - katie shapiro
"Championing all things local, Meat & Cheese offers a little bit of everything. Seasonal menus consist of what owner Wendy Mitchell defines as “world farmhouse” cuisine, along with copious charcuterie platters to graze on with a group. Patrons can buy cured meats, seafood, cheeses, artisan breads, specialty sauces, and chic kitchen accessories from the adjacent gourmet grocer, too. At night, head downstairs to the moody Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar for inventive concoctions like the Chronic Tonic 2.0, a CBD-infused revamp of the house gin and tonic." - Katie Shapiro
