Never let it be said that mountain people dont 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 its a great place to sample elk, buffalo or Rocky Mountain oysters if thats something youve always wanted to do. But dont feel that mountain/western fare is all thats available. Within a short walk from the center of town youll find Italian, Mexican, French, Japanese, Pacific Rim and other eclectic cuisine.
For delicious family fare in a casual, friendly atmosphere try Mazzolas. 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 youll 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, theres creole at Lucilles, French at Harwigs, fresh seafood at the appropriately named Freshies 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 youve 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 anybodys palate.
