Which Deer Valley Restaurants Are Most Highly Recommended?

The Deer Valley restaurants are amongst the best in the skiing world. Catering to an exclusive list of clients attending the famous resort, it is probably not surprising. However, what could be considered perhaps a little strange, is the number of restaurants that are highly acclaimed. Indeed, it is harder to find a bad review than it is a good one.

Within the resort itself, there is a selection of three fine dining restaurants to choose from. The most respected of these is the Mariposa, which has won several top awards, and is often named as one of the best restaurants to visit in the skiing world. Only open throughout the ski season, patrons are able to enjoy both contemporary and classical dishes. Also offered are signature tasting menus, allowing the kitchen team to showcase all that is best about them. With attentive staff, exuding comprehensive knowledge about the food and its provenance, you are assured a memorable experience.

No fine dining collection would be complete without a seafood representative in the stable. And Deer Valley resorts Seafood Buffet delivers here. With a focus on presenting diners with only the best quality food available, they are committed to sourcing sustainable stocks wherever possible. Offering a more relaxed atmosphere than some fine dining restaurants afford, guests from the local area vote this as one of their favorite restaurants.

Ending the list with a flourish is the Fireside Dining restaurant, that delivers Alpine charm, and introduces a novel concept to dining that is fun. Diners are invited to explore the delights on offer, with a tour around four fireplaces. The first offers tempting appetizers including homemade breads, cheeses and chutneys. The second and third fireplaces, present Swiss inspired main courses, with succulent meat dishes, game, poultry and authentic vegetarian options. At the final fireplace, you are invited to select from a tempting range of desserts to finish the meal and partake in the bar offerings.

The restaurants in the resort are popular, and other less formal eateries are also available. However, Deer Valley restaurants outside of the resorts are also worthy of mention. This is particularly true if you are visiting out of season when resort restaurants will be closed.

First amongst these is the amazingly popular Goldener Hirsch Inn. The winner of many awards, and often booked up for extended periods of time, diners will receive service that is parallel to that offered in the resort.

Amongst the preferred venues away from the resort is The Gliterand, which offers regional cuisine. Set in a stunning mountainside location, it is the proud winner of numerous awards. Another fine dining experience, diners are greeted with an innovative and modern menu. A greater number of restaurants outside of the resort cater for more than fine dining however. This is the case with the Stew Pot restaurant, which is proving popular throughout the local community for its more homemade approach to food, with generous portions and traditional dishes.

If you are lucky enough to be vacationing in Deer Valley this ski season, you are sure to not be disappointed, with high quality restaurants at every turn. However, be sure to check out those restaurants away from the resort, particularly if you intend visiting throughout the summer.
