About

A Craveable Experience – Aspen Kitchen is of-the-moment, authentic & regional. Paying homage to the craft of cooking & sharing hearty, rustic American food

Story

Nestled in the core of downtown Aspen, steps away from the ski-lifts and surrounded by world class boutiques, Aspen Kitchen pays tribute to the heritage and traditions of the West with a warm inviting atmosphere and an adventurous spirit befitting its legendary location.

The restaurant features an elegant, second level dining room surrounded by three walls of windows that allow 180° views of town and the mountains with warm, rustic wooden design elements accented by brightly colored tapestries. Guests are greeted by a glass-enclosed dry aging room before entering the vibrant space anchored by a bustling open “action” kitchen and a luxurious bar that showcases an extensive wall-mounted wine collection.

Executive Chef Emil David has developed a menu that celebrates contemporary American cuisine using classic technique and premium local ingredients in a variety of exciting dishes ranging from snacks and small plates like Escargot Fritters and Tots & Caviar to hearty entrees including Boulder Natural Chicken, Colorado Striped Bass, Roasted Suckling Pig, and Prime Beef from the patented dry-aging program, before concluding with a decadent selection of seasonal desserts.

Guests can also enjoy a hand-crafted cocktail, glass of wine or beer, and a selection of light bites at the bar or relax outside in the restaurant’s outdoor “garden” - an expansive patio perched above town with unbeatable views, a dedicated outdoor bar, and communal fire pits with lounge seating.
