It's worth the 15-minute drive north of downtown Salt Lake to sample what may very well be the finest small-batch ice cream in the Rockies, or at least Utah. Innovative flavors at this bustling shop in cheerful downtown Bountiful include lavender studded with chunks of honeycomb and mango sticky rice. Offerings change according to which ingredients are available in season.
A perfect option for a delicious feast of modern German-American fare before or after a visit to Antelope Island State Park, this dapper downtown Layton restaurant is also midway between Salt Lake City and Ogden. The made-from-scratch food is spot-on—try the Alsatian-style flammküchen, currywurst with fries, Parmesan-crusted pork schnitzel, or one of the tasty thin-crust pizzas. The restaurant's Döner Wagon food truck appears at various locations throughout the Wasatch Front.
