Artisanal market & eatery: breads, meats, cheese, wine, cocktails



"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


"Just the place in town for gourmet goodies, this farm shop is a worthy stop between the big-name boutiques." - Elise Taylor
"This always-busy all-day cafe is known for its rotisserie chicken and, maybe unsurprisingly, meat and cheese boards. 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
