After half a dozen trips since our first visit in 2015, it’s safe to say Breckenridge, CO is one of our most cherished home away from homes. While we love being able to do Breckenridge on a budget, It’s no secret that one of our favorite things to do when visiting anywhere is eat… While the main attraction is skiing, the restaurants in Breckenridge, Colorado are not something to miss! There isn’t a spot in this town that isn’t delicious – Breckenridge food is the real deal y’all!
The best part about Breckenridge restaurants is, most of them are either right on Main Street or just off of Main Street! This makes all of the spots on our list of the best Breckenridge restaurants super easy to get to!
Breakfast in Breckenridge
Crepes A La Cart
Crepes a La Cart might have been one of our favorite stops while in Breckenridge. Their main shop is a little cart on Main St, but they now have another location one street over. Everything is made fresh and all of the items are absolutely delicious. No trip to Breckenridge is complete without a stop at Crepes a La Cart!
Clint’s Bakery & Coffee House
We may or may not have gone back to clients 37 times. That may be an exaggeration, but Clint’s has the MOST delicious blueberry-lemon-poppy seed muffins that Thomas and I can’t resist, which alone helps this spot land on our best Breckenridge restaurants list! We were also in love with their bagel breakfast sandwiches. Seriously, the most perfect carb-loaded breakfast and bakery option to prepare you for a day on the slopes.
Blue Moose Restaurant
Causal breakfast and brunch in Breckenridge spot with a huge menu and cocktails! We highly recommend the Bloody Mary. There can be a wait, especially if you have a larger party, but it’s worth it. Grab a cocktail while waiting to get table!
BreckFast Co
Lunch and Dinner in Breckenridge
Giampietros Pasta & Pizzeria
Whenever we go skiing, no matter what town we’re in, we always have to find a pizza spot. We’ve done it in other ski towns like Crested Butte and Park City, so finding delicious pizza in Breckenridge was high on our list. Giampietros Pasta & Pizzeria in Breckenridge was everything we could have asked for. The giant pizza and delicious bread is always the perfect meal to eat after a long day on the slopes.
Empire Burger
Empire Burger is truly one of the best places to eat in Breckenridge. It’s our tradition to always go here on our first night anytime we’re in Breckenridge. And it NEVER disappoints. Burger, fries, and an adult root beer float are what we always share, and it only gets better every time we have it.
Downstairs at Eric’s
We had a BLAST at Downstair’s at Eric’s. Granted, we didn’t eat anything, we just played old arcade games, the food looked delicious. It totally had the coolest vibe, and who doesn’t love playing arcade games while eating delicious food?
Soupz On
We stopped in at Soupz On after our snowmobiling adventure! You know, you really work up an appetite when the temps are -30 degrees! This was a spot the local guys (our tour guides) recommended we try, and we know why! Easily one of the best and cheapest meals we ate all week! Pop in, grab some soup and some of their delicious bread and sit a while!
Kenosha Grill
We usually want at least one nice dinner while in Breck and Kenosha always delivers. What originally came as a recommendation from locals for a nicer, affordable dinner in Breckenridge, Kenosha easily lands a place on our list of the best restaurants in Breckenridge! Kenosha was a little more casual than the steakhouses we are used to, but the food was just as good. We had the beer pretzels, steaks, and some delicious desserts! Definitely a must stuff if you’re in town for a special holiday, or just want a dang good meal!
Dessert in Breckenridge
Mountain Top Cookie Shop
We may stop in at Mountain Top Cookie Shop (formerly Mary’s Mountain Cookies) almost every single day we’ve been in Breckenridge. Okay, that’s a stretch, but the cookies and sweets are just too hard to resist. They have fresh, unique cookies that are undeniably delicious.
Higgles Ice Cream
Higgles is the perfect spot if you’re a little crazy like us and want ice cream even when you’re in icy temps! There aren’t a ton of places for dessert in Breckenridge, but out of all of the ice cream spots, Higgles is our favorite!
