Aspen High-End Restaurants

• Matsuhisa Japanese, Phone: 970-544-6628 Google Map

• • Fodor's Review : "Although you shouldn't expect to see Nobu in the kitchen, his recipes and techniques are unmistakable."

• Mezzaluna American, Phone: 970-925-5882 Google Map

• Wild Fig Mediterranean, Phone: 970-925-5160 Google Map
  • Concierge.com Recommendation : "...Fig burst on the scene in the 2003 ski season and has been packed ever since--which isn't hard when there are only 50 seats."

• • Fodor's Choice : "A friendly establishment with an unbeatable location right off the pedestrian mall, this cozy restaurant and bar offers light Mediterranean dishes in a distinctive decor."

• Krabloonik Contemporary, Phone: 970-923-3953 Google Map

• • Fodor's Review : "Although you can drive to the restaurant, the best -- and most memorable -- way to arrive is by dogsled."

• Il Poggio Italian, Phone: 970-923-4292 Google Map
  • Fodor's Review : "The classic Italian food is well received by the aprés-ski crowd. Try one of the hearth-baked pizzas, a hearty pasta dish, or any beef or chicken entrèe."

• Pi&ncirc;ons Contemporary, Phone: 970-920-2021 Google Map
