Aspen Food Guide: A Taste of Luxury in a Pet-Friendly Paradise! 🏔️🍴

📍 Bosq The only Michelin-starred restaurant in town! 🏆 They’re currently doing a pop-up in the basement of The Little Nell – cozy and slightly crowded, but the service was exceptional! The food lived up to its reputation, with creative dishes and exquisite flavors. A dinner for two came to around $800. 💸✨ 📍 Element 47 A Michelin-recommended spot! Their brunch is a must-try – the short rib is so tender it literally melts in your mouth! 😋🍖 My friends weren’t as impressed with the other dishes, but for $50-60 per person, it’s totally worth it. Plus, it’s dog-friendly! 🐶❤️ 📍 Angelo’s We spent Christmas Eve here, and the white orchid decorations were absolutely stunning! 💮 Without alcohol, dinner was about $130 per person. Also dog-friendly! The truffle Wagyu carpaccio (chef’s special) was incredibly aromatic and delicious! 🥩🍄 My scallops were tender, but the artichoke side was overwhelmingly salty and sour – I could smell it from my seat! 😅 My boyfriend’s pork chop was huge and packed with value! 🐖🔥 The foie gras was a surprise highlight – perfectly seared and served warm! 🦢🍎 The oysters were a skip – too small and fishy. 🦪👎 📍 Bear Den A casual brunch spot we stumbled upon before leaving! Their outdoor two-seater table was super cozy and full of vibe. The food was solid, and it’s only $40-50 per person. Also dog-friendly! 🐕☀️ 📍 Little Ollie’s Not recommended! ❌ I didn’t go myself, but my friends did (thanks to Eileen Gu’s recommendation), and they said it was worse than Panda Express. 😬 📍 Grocery Tip There’s a small supermarket about 10-20 minutes away by car 🛒🚗 – perfect for grabbing frozen meals or instant noodles for late-night snacks since Aspen has no food delivery at night! 🍜🌙 Aspen truly offers a mix of high-end dining and cozy, pet-welcoming spots. Whether you’re here for the Michelin stars or a casual bite, this town has something for everyone! 🥂❤️ #USA #Denver#AspenEats #MichelinDining #LuxuryTravel #PetFriendly #FoodieGuide #AspenColorado
