The Best Restaurant in Park City and the Southern Wasatch, Utah

Background Illustration for Restaurants

American cuisine dominates the Wasatch dining scene, with great steaks, barbecue, and traditional Western fare. There's also an abundance of good seafood, which the busier eateries fly in daily from the West Coast. Park City caters to a discriminating clientele with upscale restaurants ranging from Swiss to Japanese, French, and Mexican. Restaurant hours vary seasonally, so it's a good idea to call ahead. Reservations are always a good idea, but are essential during winter holiday weekends and the Sundance Film Festival. Ask about two-for-ones. Park City restaurants offer great deals, such as two-for-one entrées from spring to fall, so check the local newspaper for coupons or ask your concierge which eateries are offering discounts.

Ritual Chocolate Café

$ Fodor's Choice

Experience a rush of senses when you visit this fixture in Park City's culinary scene opened in 2015 by Robbie Stout and Anna Seear. Smell just-baked brownies with toasted Peruvian cocoa nibs and watch through an observation window as cocoa beans go into the factory's roll mill as a thick gritty paste, then come out smooth and flaky. Sample different chocolates, then take home a finished bar of smooth Old-World chocolate. Ritual makes small-batch chocolate by gently roasting single-source cocoa beans from sustainable farms around the world. The café's outdoor deck is a great place to feel alpine breezes while you drink a cup of sipping chocolate from your choice of regions: Madagascar, Peru, Ecuador, or Belize.
