Dining in Aspen
It has it all: excellent service, delectable cuisine, and delectable beverages. The interior design is very stunning.
Matsuhisa, chef Nobu Matsuhisa's namesake restaurant, is the place to go if you're searching for a sultry atmosphere. It's ideal for a romantic night or a girls' night out!
It's a terrific place to spend lunch or dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. If the weather is favorable, try to obtain a table outside. The crispy chicken sandwich will change your life!
The bar menu at Steakhouse No. 316 is fantastic. Pair the Alpine Summer Aperitif with the Steak Sandwich with Caramelized Onions and Fontina.
