Food Board can assist with restaurants. A search should produce good info. I think Ember is the best white tablecloth place in town right now. Great food.

Grab burger at Empire Burger. The taco joint next door has the same ownership...it should be fine.

Italian...Giampetro's or Fatty's.

I'm a big fan of Ollie's, really solid wings and I like the setup. I go there 3-4 times every time I'm in Breck

Like another poster said, Fatty's is good for pizza/italian and Empire burger makes a ridiculously good burger.

I enjoy the crepe place. They obviously have sweet crepes, but the savory ones are also good.

I haven't really been to any of the higher end places in town, but some friend's went to Blue River Bistro and said it was good.

This.

Ollie’s is also good. Greco’s Pastaria in Frisco is good, too. As is Silverthornes.

Piante is a really delicious vegan pizzeria. It’s fantastic.

We love going to Colorado in the summer, specifically Breckenridge, but I'm just never impressed with the food. Everything always sounds really good but I just find it all falls short. I wouldn't waste money on anything considered nice but that's just my opinion.

Stick to casual places like Erik's, CB & Potts, Breckenridge Brewery, and Empire Burger.

Been going every year since 1976 and never fail to have dinner here at least once.

Another old favorite that is long gone was the Navigator in Keystone.

Op don't confine yourself to Breckenridge, go see everything summit County has to offer.

I live in Summit, you come for the outdoors not the food. Most of the better places have already been mentioned in this thread but don’t be expecting anything special other than the high prices.

Definitely fly fishing for me like other poster said. We enjoyed just walking around Breckinridge and riding a bike over to explore Frisco the next city down. Drive out to Buena Vista with the windows rolled down and enjoy the scenery. They have some white water rafting there but I’m pretty sure it’s not good this time of year.

I would imagine the water is cold this time of year.

Cold any time up there. Hiking should be a priority. Great Fall colors right now.

The Motherloaded Tavern has really solid soul food. I don’t know if Kenosha is still there but it had a great steak and burger.

Head over to Melanzana in Leadville and pick yourself up a fleece hoodie.
