Our favorite Italian in Aspen!! Our typical order is an espresso martini (Will's favorite!), calamari, cauliflower soup if it's in season (trust.), penne vodka with truffle oil (duh) and then end by sipping on their house made limoncello. I seriously dream of this meal frequently, it won't disappoint.
Sushi isn't Kai's favorite which is absolutely crazy so here are my (hi it's me, Lindsey) absolute no brainers if you go here. Peruvian margarita (my favorite spicy marg ever, Kai loves this too), the miso eggplant, lobster and tuna nobu tacos, crunchy spicy tuna roll (!!!!!!!). My mouth is watering just typing this wow.
One of our favorites! Hike up to Crater Lake, it's so unbelievably beautiful. Make sure you get a reservation before going. The bus will pick you up at the Highlands and drop you off at the base of Maroon Bells then take you back after your hike.
The burger and pistachio martini are a MUST!!!
Kale salad with rotisserie chicken. Chicken sandwich. Anything else and you have done a disservice to yourself. Pro tip, order both and split with someone!!!
Easily the best lobster roll and hamburger, YUM!
Aspen's farmers market downtown Saturday mornings! Always fun to stroll (maybe with some Paradise coffee and pastry!) and look at all the fun vendors.
Another delish sushi place! Lychee martini and some wagyu beef tacos to start. Andddd the spicy tuna with crispy rice. Frank's truffle kale fried rice - might sound weird but it's so good, promise. Again, not Christian Taylor's favorite but my fav sushi roll here is their Colorado roll!!!
You can take this up Hunter's Creek and go back down OR if you want to go a little farther to see more views, keep going all the way until you hit Smuggler's. There is an observation deck when you get to the top then you can take Smuggler's road down. This is our favorite!!
So fun to bike to Woody Creek on the Rio Grande trail to grab a margarita and lunch! After a margarita or two you may want to take a taxi back to Aspen but...to each its own...!
Crispy potato croquettes!!! Truffle butter filet is phenomenal with the waffle fries and mac n cheese for sides! Only eating healthy around here ;)
DUH. Truly too many things to recommend, you can't go wrong with anything!
The best mid day or late night pizza. Go in for a slice or call ahead for take out...you will not be disappointed!!
Our favorite before dinner happy hour or after dinner night cap! The menu is so fun and has soooo many great options.
YUMMY brunch. Gondola bun and BD club sandwich are our orders!
