Eagle County’s Best Locally Owned Eateries to Curb Your Munchies

Whether our visitors anticipate the munchies or they’re starving after a day in the mountains or traveling, they’re always looking for something to eat.

So we decided to do you a solid by putting together a list of the best restaurants in and around Vail to curb your cravings. 

Restaurants in Avon

There are plenty of excellent Beaver Creek restaurants to choose from, but if you’re a fan of wood-fired pizzas and other Italian eats, you can’t do better than Ticino. Soak up the cozy atmosphere as you dine on classic dishes like pizza, pasta, and a killer Caesar salad

There’s no cozier way to end a day of hiking or hitting the slopes than tucking into a serving of pho, and the version served by the folks at Phở Bay is pretty hard to beat. In addition, their “create your own” menu lets you assemble the perfect bowl.

Restaurants in Eagle

One of the many restaurants in Eagle blending tasty food with scenic ambiance, Garduno’s Mexican Food serves a menu of dressed-up Mexican classics on a pine-shaded patio—because nothing says Colorado like a conifer canopy and a plate of bacon-wrapped shrimp.

Eagle, Colorado restaurants usually offer on-the-go options for outdoor adventures, but few do it better than pickled. kitchen + pantry. With a full menu of wholesome salads, soups, and sandwiches offered to-go (or dine-in), you can eat on the mountain or linger on the patio.

Restaurants in Eagle-Vail

Not all the best restaurants in Beaver Creek are Italian, but many are. As the name suggests, Ristorante Te Amo is an excellent date-night choice, with romantic booths perfect for sharing a plate of pasta.

A must-do for any Edwards visitor looking to sample mountain cuisine, The Gashouse Restaurant creates delicious versions of wild game in an unforgettable atmosphere adorned in rustic cabin style. Try the rocky mountain oysters if you dare.

It might look like a simple food truck, but Turgeon’s Wood Fired Pizza is one of Gypsum’s hidden gems. Crispy crusts, classic toppings, and extras like the awesome wood-fired cinnamon roll make this the best place to carb load before you hit the mountain.

Kirby Cosmos’ BBQ Bar is a must-visit for barbecue lovers, whether you’re local or just passing through, serving up wings, brisket, and killer pulled pork bbq sandwiches. Pro tip: ordering a side order of their cornbread takes it all to the next level.
