Northwest Wyoming has many restaurants. Anyplace you go, you’ll find basic Western fare such as steaks, chicken, and burgers; in Jackson there’s a wider selection, with menus listing everything from Mexican and Thai dishes to trout, buffalo, and elk. There are also a few fine-dining establishments in the region. Arguably the best steaks in all of Wyoming are prepared at Svilars', a steak house in the tiny community of Hudson, east of Lander.
Step inside this rambling wine-centric market, bar, and café to stock up on to-go bottles and finely curated picnic supplies, or dine in. The menu tends toward shareable small plates that pair well with the interesting vinos—consider a selection of imported salumi and cheeses, or Spanish- and Italian-inspired platters of patatas bravas with roasted-garlic aioli, burrata caprese, and stuffed piquillo peppers.
This stylish purveyor of locavore-driven modern American cuisine is a popular spot to hit up before attending a show at the nearby Center for the Arts. The menu changes seasonally but might feature a bison brisket accompanied by a farro risotto, homemade truffle pasta, and elk Bolognese. The Gather burger comes with a Wagyu beef blend topped with smoked Gouda. It's probably the only place in town where you can get a traditional root beer float (featuring Henry Reinhard's Root Beer) for dessert.
One of Jackson's mainstays for special-occasion dining, this sophisticated restaurant serves creatively prepared dishes using meats and fish loved across the West. The menu changes regularly, reflecting what's available in the market, and the extensive wine list has garnered countless awards.
