Aspen Travel Diary — Food & Drinks Edition 🍽️🤤

Just spent a happy, food-filled week in Aspen — what a gem! 🏔️✨ Super dog-friendly too 🐾… and remember to book your restaurants in advance! 🍴 Sam’s – Snowmass Mountain ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) A fine-dining spot on the mountain with amazing views! Better to reserve ahead. They provide slippers after you check in 🩴💫 ✅ Must-order: Leafy Greens Salad, Lemon Rosemary Roasted Chicken ➖ Lamb Burger was just okay (I skipped the bun 🍔🚫) 🍴 Duemani – Aspen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Absolutely blew our minds! By 6 PM it’s packed — we ordered: Chilean Sea Bass (rich but not oily 🐟) Roasted Half Chicken (super tender 🍗) Grilled Artichokes (so good we ordered two! 🥬) 🍴 French Alpine Bistro ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) Cozy Western vibe — food was decent: ➖ Truffle Gnocchi (a bit heavy) ✅ Coq au Vin (red wine braised chicken — not bad!) ➖ Filet ($75 — pretty standard) 🍴 Il Poggio ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) Italian in Snowmass with a cool European vibe and pizza oven 🍕🇮🇹 ✅ Pastas & Pizzas are great ➖ Duck Breast was overcooked even ordered medium 🦆😬 ☕ Felix Roasting Co. ⭐️⭐️ (2/5) Inside Hotel Jerome — beautiful space, dog-friendly with water bowls 🐶💦… but the coffee was disappointing ☕👎 🍨 Paradise Bakery ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) A must-visit bakery in Aspen! Their gelato is incredible — ✅ Pistachio & Cappuccino Crunch ➖ Coconut was good but not super creamy 🥥🍪 Aspen = food + views + pups = perfection 🐕❤️🏔️ #FoodieTravel #AspenEats #ColoradoDining #DogFriendly #FoodReview #CoffeeLovers #TravelAndEat #FoodDiary #ParadiseBakery 🍦📸
