Dutch baby pancakes for brunch, après-ski whiskey at a distillery’s saloon, a fried chicken sandwich from a Food Network star, the best celeb-spotting spots during Sundance, and more of Park City’s best meals
Just 35 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, Park City is an easily accessible alpine oasis with something for everyone: a walkable downtown, picture-perfect mountains, and an exciting food scene. When events come to town — here’s looking at you, Sundance Film Festival — the celebrity sightings and after-parties are next-level, with a hint of Hollywood glamor taking over historic Main Street every January. Whether you’re looking for a lavish dinner and drinks after shopping and gallery-hopping, or you want to fuel up with brunch before ripping through fresh powder runs, Park City’s restaurants have you covered.
After you’ve secured your pass — Park City is skiable through Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass, while Deer Valley is available on the Ikon Pass — and made your way to the Wasatch Mountains, it’s time to iron out your itinerary through Park City’s happening hangouts, fine dining favorites, and enduring cheap eats. From hot ramen straight out of Tokyo to a famed hot chicken sandwich, here’s where to eat in Utah’s best ski town.
