My husband and I discovered Besame in the local mountain magazine so I checked their instagram out and I knew instantly I wanted to go!The atmosphere, the service, the cocktails, the art were all amazing!The Brussels are hands down the best I have ever had, if you’re a brussel lover then I highly recommend these! The mass empanadas were absolutely delicious! My gin cocktail was perfect!We shared the individual paella which could’ve easily been enough for three people, provided tapas was had beforehand. It’s extremely strong in a seafood flavor, so if you’re are not a seafood lover than it’s certainly not for you. A bit much for me, but it was still delicious!All in all, it was a delicious experience all together! I’ll certainly be back!There were so many things I still wished to try!

This place is a local gem! We had the octopus and lamb belly, the Spanish influence is super refreshing for a mountain town. The head chef JC came to our table to check on us, and what an awesome guy and added to our experience! Highly

New favorite spot in steamboat! Best happy hour in town!!Favorite dish - short rib empanadasFavorite drink - café
I’ve been twice now and have really enjoyed it both time! I’ve tried a fairly large amount of the tapas and had the paella both times I visited - everything has been incredibly delicious! Not a cheap bite to eat - definitely a good one!
I’ve had better experiences in other restaurants in town that I think should get more attention. Had to ask for utensils and THEN napkins; Confused because they usually come together. I believe this restaurant is overhyped truly! Service wasn’t the best and the duck wings had off putting garnish.The chicharrón looked and tasted like store bought chips. I appreciate the ambiance and idea they are going for; but could do better! As a Latino inspired fusion restaurant, I think they failed in some aspects.

We enjoyed our 3rd awesome visit at Besame. The staff and atmosphere are always great. The food experience is one of my favorites in Colorado and makes the Steamboat visit worth it for this alone. This time we enjoyed Besame the two of us, but last time it was great with a big group.

This is the BEST restaurant in Steamboat! The owner Hannah goes out of her ways to make guests happy. The food, the service, and the vibe are outstanding!
We ordered the tipsy carrot and fuego verde as our cocktails. The tipsy carrot tasted like a generic margarita with huge salt crystals on the rim of the glass that would stick to your lips. The fuego verde was better with a smoky mezcal and a spicy afternote.For our tapas and entree, we ordered the chili glazed short rib which was delicious. The bruselas fritas tasted like any crispy roasted brussel sprout dish I’ve had at any restaurant. The vegetable paella felt like random vegetables were thrown together with no cohesiveness and the dish was undersalted.
Mussels in paella were very freshly cooked. It gets busy starting from early dinner time. Will come back again for a relaxing dinner after ski trip.

So good. Spanish inspired meal with plenty of options for everyone. Most of the menu is gluten free which is amazing. 6 kids meals options with a gluten free option for kids too. The server came around a lot at all the right times during happy hour so we could order multiple rounds! She was well mannered and kind and politely taught me how to pronounce something on the menu. Atmosphere is artsy and rustic with Spanish influence. It can get loud once this place fills up so keep that in mind. We came right at opening and enjoyed happy hour discounts on tapas and drinks! All the food was delectable and cooked well. Food exactly as described and played beautifully. If you want a great experience topped off by delicious eats come here.Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free options. Some vegetarian.Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids menu items served bento style. Healthy options for kids and you can find a couple items not available to kids elsewhere. All kids meals are under $15.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a tight squeeze inside the door but once inside you should be able to get around okay. Didn’t check the restrooms.
We ordered many dishes, everything was amazing !
