When visiting the Central Rockies in Colorado, one usually has to go near or through the town of Vail. Summer and winter activities abound here and therefore attract many a visitor from Denver and beyond. I know that when I think of Colorado cuisine, elk, venison, trout and buffalo come to my mind but that is only the tip of the iceberg.
Vail amongst other neighboring mountain towns has global influence
when it comes to dining and cuisine as well as its’ residents and visitors. Vail and Beaver Creek come together to provide the valley guest luxury home rentals and amenities second to none.
Culinary imagination is unleashed in a variety of ways when ingredients are the focus of attention. European influence is fairly easy to find in the mountains of Colorado. From gazpacho and veal
sweetbreads to escargots and grilled lamb, the French have made a nice home in the central Rockies.
Seafood in the mountains typically is not mentioned together in the same sentence so restaurants go the extra mile to obtain fresh seafood and execute a beautifully prepared dish. From Ahi Tuna to Dungeness crab dining establishments can really compete with the port towns of the surrounding coastal world.
Mountain fare is represented very well in Colorado to say the least and must be experienced among the other cuisine styles.
Beaver Creek which is just west of Vail brings the same type of culinary
sophistication to the plate as well. From Foie Gras to fresh Maine lobster the variety of cuisine covers all of the bases.
