A Brief Guide to Steamboat Springs Restaurants
Never let it be said that mountain people don't know how to
cook. In Steamboat Springs , Colorado, restaurants offer a
variety of freshly prepared, expertly cooked, quality foods that
rival the restaurants in any major city. The city has more than
70 restaurants and bars and because of the western flair it's a
great place to sample elk, buffalo or Rocky Mountain oysters if
that's something you've always wanted to do. But don't feel that
mountain/western fare is all that's available. Within a short
walk from the center of town you'll find Italian, Mexican,
French, Japanese, Pacific Rim and other eclectic cuisine.
For delicious family fare in a casual, friendly atmosphere try
Mazzola's. With pizzas such as "The Maui Wowie," "The White
Album," and "The Godfather" and an impressive list of entrees
and appetizers, everyone at your table will have no trouble
finding something delicious. For family fare with an adult twist
step in to the Mahogany Ridge Brewery and Grill for some of the
best steaks you'll ever taste. Wash it down with some
micro-brewed beer that rivals the brewmasters of Germany. Your
kids will enjoy the special wild, wild west kids selections and
the live music.
Is Chinese food your thing? Try the gourmet fare at the huge
Panda Garden Restaurant or the Chinese family cooking a few
scant blocks away at the Canton Chinese Restaurant.
In addition, there's creole at Lucille's, French at Harwig's,
fresh seafood at the appropriately named Freshie's and at least
six Mexican restaurants, some known more for their exquisite
margaritas than their cooking. Feel free to put on your jeans
and cowboy boots for most of them or dress up in that suit and
tie you've brought with you and dine in pure elegance.
The choice is yours. Needless to say for a small town that
depends on its mountain surroundings to bring in tourists, there
is a variety of quality food available in Steamboat Springs that
will satisfy anybody's palate.
