Some may think that Winter Park’s size could mean a lack in cuisine, but with over 60 restaurants, Winter Park has something to appease every palate. Whether you are looking to score some bar seats for happy hour or enjoy a romantic dining experience, there are plenty of delicious options in and around town.

Breakfast

The ‘Most Important Meal of the Day’ should not be missed when heading out for a full day of adventure in Colorado’s Favorite Playground. Many of our local bakeries can start your day with freshly baked bread, homemade hollandaise and some sweeter treats too. Mountain Grind Coffee & Bistro says, “We think you should know your food. That's why we make our own sausage and chorizo free of nitrates and chemicals. We bake the bread. We know the farmers who raise the organic chicken you eat. We raise a few greens of our own. We know the roasters who blend our organic coffee. We buy local, we recycle, we care.”

Lunch

You will certainly need to refuel if you hit the slopes or trails hard in the morning! Grab a bite at one of our 7 Deli/ Sandwich shops or perhaps just a snack and afternoon pick-me-up at one of the local coffee houses!  If you came to Colorado craving Green Chilis, be sure to stop in The Ditch on 40 for delicious homemade New Mexican food featuring Hatch Red and Green Chili.
