Restaurants in Vail

“Our favorite breakfast in the Vail valley! To save yourself some time, be sure to join their waitlist thru Google! They’ll text you when your table is ready! My husband’s & son’s favorite item is the Taxi Driver.”

“The best restaurant in Vail!”

“Very good food and friendly staff. Specially Pradip was really good.”

“Great Detroit Style Pizza! Picnic tables nearby to eat at and there is also a little splash pad nearby if there in the summer.”

“Did not expect to find such good jjamppong in Vail. The owner once he found out I was Korean offered me jjamppong which was an off menu item. We also got some take out items and they were all incredible. Absolute gem”

“Dining at Joy Sushi was, without a doubt, one of the most incredible culinary experiences we’ve had, and not just in Vail, but anywhere. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a cozy vibe that made us feel right at home.

The sushi and sashimi were unbelievably fresh—each bite practically melted in our mouths. You could truly taste the quality and care that went into every piece. The rolls were not only beautifully presented but also incredibly creative. The combinations of flavors were thoughtfully crafted and balanced perfectly, and absolutely delicious.

We were especially impressed by how reasonably priced everything was, especially considering the high quality of the ingredients and the location in Vail. It felt like such a hidden gem, just a short drive from our hotel. We were so impressed after our first dinner that we came back again two nights later, and honestly, we would have gone all three nights if we hadn’t made other plans.

Joy Sushi has officially become a must-stop for us whenever we’re in town. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers such a consistent and exceptional experience across the board—from food to service to value. We’re already looking forward to our next weekend trip to Vail, and Joy Sushi will definitely be on the itinerary.”

“Very friendly staff! I’ve never had a drink like this one before! “Chai one on””

“the food was amazing. So fresh and delicious. The staff was equally impressing with great attitude and professionalism”

“Outstanding service from the time we arrived and awesome selection of fine foods and wines. Loved every minute of it!”

“Food was great overall, and the ambiance was wonderful. The service was prompt and food arrived very quickly. The only thing that slightly disappointed me was the side salad as I was hoping for a more traditional Austrian or a German salad with pickled veggies and vinegarette. All the other food was delicious. We will definitely go back.”

“Beer is on point and perfect place to chill after a day out on the slopes or hiking.”

“Once we received our cooked shrimp the meal was good. service was fine. I do not like seeing a service charge on my bill without being told about. I was happy the manager took it off the bill.”

“Great experience!!! From the food, service and ambience A++++”

“Great staff and food. The supper clubs were amazing”

“Excellent breakfast burritos and possibly the best hazelnut latte ever!”

“The cheese fondue with veggies and a baguette was outstanding! We also had the dark chocolate fondue for dessert and it was equally as good. The staff are fantastic!”

“By far the best Italian food I have found in the United States!”

“Leonora, located inside The Sebastian Vail boutique hotel, is a gem for anyone seeking exceptional service and delicious cuisine. The staff goes above and beyond to make every dining experience memorable, pairing their warm hospitality with attention to detail. A must-try on the menu is the avocado toast—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Leonora’s inviting ambiance, combined with its standout dishes, makes it a perfect spot for a memorable meal in Vail. Highly recommended!”

“prime rib was great and it's close to hotel room”

“This is the best restaurant in the Rocky Mountains as far as I am concerned. They could easily be a Michelin star if they wanted to pay the fees. Service is always excellent. I think everything is pretty much gluten free.”

“As usual an excellent meal.”

“The quality of their food is not good, it's very bad.”

“It's such a special place. Our company had a conference and I was able to watch my husband charge the race course above. We just shared amazing moments with our colleagues and friends. It was such a wonderful experience.”

“Excellent experience. I had the fish, it was like Arctic char, but had a different name. Very tasty. Also had an artichoke salad that was unique and excellent. Then they served strawberry cotton candy with chocolates! Then I had the three sorbets, with fruit. I got there early, so the atmosphere was quiet. The people were super friendly, including hostess, waiters,etc. Outside the restaurant is a piano bar, that was casual and cozy. I highly recommend this place.”

“This was a stellar dining experience. It was NOT crazy loud and bustling, the fish options were amazing, the waygu was a fun experience and THE DESSERTS!! Holy moly. this was thee best experience i’ve ever had dining in Vail. I appreciate the wonderful atmosphere and kind, attentive service.”

“Highly recommend Chasing Rabbits when in Vail. Very hip place with creative cuisine and a great wine program. I had Rabbit Bolognese and it was outstanding. Our server was excellent. Can't wait to go back!”

“I have eaten at Bully Ranch several times over the years. The staff is always so nice and accommodating! The food is delicious! Enjoyed meeting pastry chef Irma!”

“What a fabulous lunch. Patrick our waiter was knowledgeable, courteous attentive and cute! The food was great too. Carrot honey chicken sandwich best ever! Elk meatball sub was excellent. Fries in duck fat, there are no words. Topped off with a dark chocolate, baby guava tart…..what can I say. All Patrick’s suggestions…thank you.”

“Went with Friends. Great food.”

“The food was really good. Our waitress was really nice to us. They are really friendly They are quick with getting your orders to you as well.”

“My husband met the owner on the gondola one day and told us all about First Chair. We made it out for dinner and drinks with the kids a few days later. Chris served us and it was great meeting him as a fellow East coaster! We ordered almost all of the burritos on the menu and were not disappointed! The smash burger was easily my favorite. My dad would order the meatball burrito for every meal, I swear, with how much he enjoyed it as well as my 1 year old eating half of one herself. My son did work on the nachos they were so tasty! When we get back to Vail, we'll be sure to stop in! great staff and food!”

“the best sushi you'll have! takeshi gets the freshest and most unique fish and preparation is A+.”

“Best views , Best Deal in Vail. Ugh I hate to even publish this ....because I have shared this with all of you. Please don't tell anyone .... locals favorite. Kristen thank you for always welcoming us and remembering us we'll be back tomorrow!”

“LOVE THIS PLACE! Food is delicious, staff is awesome and accommodating, and atmosphere is fun. Highly recommend!”

“The food is beyond exquisite, the environment , the views, the service, the options, everything amazing 💯.”

“On the receipt it said our server was Raul. He was awesome and made an iced espresso that my girlfriend thought was much better than Starbucks. The coffee creation was on the house… even the second one. The breakfast was very good and priced fairly. Because of it all, left a little over 50% tip and happy. Well done.”

“Great food, sunny patio, and good service! We went twice and enjoyed the Burrata Caprese Salad both times - so good! And the pork green chile! Wow! Also loved the purple passion chicken sandwich! Nice beverage menu as well.”

“What a lovely spot for coffee! It’s right on the corner and easy to find. My husband and I got the Superfood Balls which were made with dates, sesame seeds, coconut and other stuff. Really yummy! The blueberry muffin was really good! We also enjoyed the Nitro Cold Brew and Vanilla Latte. Such a cute spot and I really want to try the strawberry cloud matcha! I saw the sign for it and wished I had ordered it.”

“Great place to go if you just want a chill/typical bar environment. A lot of local people come to this bar.

Also the duck is amazing so I would recommend getting that!”

“Cool place. Seated quick. Took a while for a waiter to grace our table. We both got burgers. They were ok. Performed patty. Probably a frozen one. Fries were weirdly crunchy. I don’t like limp fries but overly crunchy is just weird. I always prefer hand cut fries.”

“Delicious good and upscale vibe.”

“Great flavors, great quality ice cream. Service is excellent as well. Be warned that they charge a "service charge". For scoping ice cream. At an ice cream shop. Raise the price by 5 cents and nobody will notice or care.”

“This Starbucks sits inside the hospital lobby.
Don't worry; the map app is guiding you to the right place!
The hospital concierge staff is very friendly and will gladly point you in the right direction.
Audrey and the rest of the Starbucks staff are always warm and happy to recommend a good drink!”

“One of our favorite spots to hit whenever we’re in Vail Village. Love sitting outside and having a drink or two. Great food and very friendly staff. Just a wonderful place 😊”

“Hidden gem that we discovered years ago after bowling with our entire family. Good food, and service great and recently introduced Sandman Karaoke which was so fun to watch. We had a very enjoyable evening with friends but very family oriented place as well and food yummy without breaking the bank. Tacos best ever!”

“The bbq pizza was the best pizza I have ever had. The waiter was a little under par. He just wasn't as attentive to us as he was others. We ordered 2 beers he only brought one. And when we said we wanted 2. He had a attitude. But then apologized right before he brought the bill.”

“Great stop off spot for food and beer. I was surprised at how big and good the chilli dog was. Flame grilled and served hot. Outdoor seating only, but in a well sheltered location so no wind. All in all, a great spot for great hot dogs and brats.”

“This is the best place to eat on the mountain. They are smoking the meat right there!

Great spot to stop in, warm up, and get some great BBQ. Get there before the lunch rush to make sure you get a seat. Tables by the windows have a beautiful view of the mountain. When the weather is warmer you can sit outside. They have picnic tables and lawn chairs.

Recommend the ribs, brisket, and Mac n cheese.”

“Great Vail atmosphere style Cafe. I found the coffee itself to be very good - actually served hot which I like. They also have freshly squeezed orange juice which was nice. Overall great Vail spot for coffee and just feeling the Vail spirit.”

“Pleased to find a vacant table and immediately offered choice of drinks, followed by a waitress to take our order. Lovely selection of food options and delivered just as ordered. Bottomless cups of coffee and also glass of water supplied to each.”

“Was pleasantly surprised by this place! Great food they have dim sum and more traditional Chinese in addition to Chinese American. Everything we had was great. Would come again!”

“The best store in vail, excellent service, delicious food”

“We were treated magnificently. Seated immediately and treated to a glass of sparkling wine for our 45th wedding anniversary. We could not have had a better experience.”

“Great pizza; great service!! Thank you!”

“Great food, great service”

“We stopped by the Fitz Bar + Bites after the concert at the amphitheater. They (Vail) were also hosting the Jazz Festival so they had an exceptional jazz improv going on. We snacked on cheese bites and other munchies while enjoyed the outstanding music. What a phenomenal weekend of talent, music and food.”

“I asked the valet at our hotel who should we order pizza from, Local Joe's was his quick reply. The pies arrived hot and fresh, high quality ingredients, and the delivery guy was very nice. We also tried 5 of their sandwiches for lunch the next day, equally excellent. When in vail this is the place from which to get pizza or sub sandwiches. If you go for pickup or want a drink at their bar, don't let the older/small location fool you, it's got great people and wonderful food.”

“Margeritta and Marie were amazing. Very personable and saying that we are here all the way from Virginia, they were quick to give us the lay of the land. Drinks were amazing and definitely made us feel welcomed!!!”

“Best family dinner experience ever! Thank you so much to everyone! The kitchen the lovely j1 hostess and our beautiful server, Isabella. Hardest working team ever.”

“Cute coffee shop with a real good spread of pastries and donuts. Got a lot of indoor and outdoor space but is also quite popular with tourists. Service is quick and would certainly recommend the donuts and croissants. Coffee could be stronger.”

“Beer is on point and perfect place to chill after a day out on the slopes or hiking.”

“Steven Teaver the owner was awesome! He opened up a little early to allow us Oregonians to check out Bad Kitty Lounge! Made us feel like long time friends! The suspended mirrored ski boot was a spectacular touch. Were there 08/23/21. Going through some of our Colorado vacation pics and had to comment on this place.”

“My wife looked up GF cafes in Vail and the Treff cafe came up. It serves a range of GF baked goods. The blueberry muffins were particularly good in both GF and non GF. The location is great in the pedestrian free part of Vail. Service was very good and the open area in front of the cafe is wonderful on a bright sunny day.”

“I was pretty disappointed this season with the limited options this time. The food is served apparently only some days.. then there's no wait staff I guess anymore, and as much as this place suppose to be bumpin' for any apres ski time they decide to close at 4pm or so.. blew my mind.. absolutely the most prime real estate .. the way its ran I guarantee they're hitting less than 50% of its potential revenue! [It's a very obvious observation] no entertainment just self order line. Please be better.. make Vail resorts $$ so ppl don't need to pay $300 day for skiing”

“It's a bit on the pricey side (average price for Vail), but the breakfast sandwiches are great. It's a super tiny store, so be prepared to bump into stuff, but it has a cozy Italian appeal and was an enjoyable experience.”

“The French Toast Croissants were delicious.”

“really cute, very tasty! I had the breakfast sandwich on a croissant and an oat milk latte. They have a lot of cold drinks like tea and gatorade too that might make this a good stop-off after a hike. Would definitely recommend!”

“Great night out in Dollar!”

“Incredible hidden gem for apre ski. Great drink specials, indoor or outdoor seating with plenty of space. The two younger gentlemen behind the bar, free entertainment on their own but also provided great service. Thank you. Had a great time, we will be back.”

“Great place off the beaten path. Good food and drinks, very affordable, and great people.”

“My iPhones battery went flat and every sets of table has got plug 🔌 and I’m able to charge my iPhone... Very handy. Love the coffee ☕️ And the pancakes are so delicious with maple syrup.”

“Hands down the best McDonald's I have ever had the chance to eat at. They're quick, kind , efficient, and to top it all of the food is fresh and does not give me the oh so popular McDonald's after... I highly suggest trying them out and be nice they are very good people!

Parking: Located in the Walmart on the Home Depot side

Kid-friendliness: I would definitely take my kids to eat here because of the freshness of the food

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“Pazzo’s Pizza in Vail is hands down the best spot for pizza around. Dan Renner and the crew make every visit feel like you’re part of the family. Their service is top-notch—always friendly, timely, and welcoming. The pizza? Absolutely unbeatable, with fresh ingredients and that perfect balance of flavor and crust. Whether you’re grabbing a bite after a day on the slopes or ordering in, they never disappoint. If you want great food and a place that treats you right, Pazzo’s is the place to go!”

“One of the best places in Vail for live music. Phil is ALWAYS entertaining, the staff is friendly, food is great and the drinks are generous.”

“Vendetta’s is hands down one of the best spots in town. The pizza is absolutely top tier — crispy crust, perfectly balanced sauce, and toppings that taste fresh every single time. It’s the kind of pie that keeps you coming back after just one slice. On top of that, the bartenders here are some of the friendliest and most skilled around. They’ve got the perfect balance of speed, personality, and great recommendations whether you’re after a craft beer, a cocktail, or just something simple. Between the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere, Vendetta’s nails it every time. A true Vail classic.”
