When on vacation, one of the biggest issues you may come across is the lack of knowledge of the area you are vacationing in and where the best places to go grab a bite at are. As a born and raised local, I am here to help you find the perfect restaurant with little stress.
The Local Hot Spots:
Location: 113 S. Ridge Street Breckenridge, CO 80424
There are a few places in Breckenridge that are locals hang outs and serve some of the best food for a reasonable price. One of my favorite restaurants is Angels Hollow. It is a bit of a dive but don’t let that fool you. The food is great and the drinks are awesome!
Favorite Menu Item:
- The homemade sauces the chef has available on every table
- The Monte Cristo
- Philly Cheese Steak
- Anything else that catches your eye is sure to be delicious
Can’t Miss: The view on the back deck! Even in the winter you have to go check it out.
No matter the time of year, you will always see smiling faces in Soupz On. This is the place to visit for soups, salads, and sandwiches. Think of it as your local Panera but we think it is much better.

You can not go wrong with any of their pizza!

Relish has Colorado style cuisine so it is the perfect place to visit for a fancy dinner in Breckenridge. The food is great and in the summer the patio has one of the best views in Breckenridge.
My Favorite Items:
- The Baked Escargot
- The Lemon and White Wine Steamed Mussels
- The Tiger Shrimp
The menu is always changing but some of these items seem to stick around throughout the year. I had the pleasure of meeting the chef once and he was incredibly nice and wanted to ensure we had a great meal even if that meant him making a few changes to his dishes for diets.
The Best Seafood:
Location: 500 S Main St, Breckenridge, CO 80424
Another one of my favorites if you are looking for Sushi is Mountain Flying Fish. They offer some of the freshest and delicious rolls I have ever tried. I highly suggest just ordering everything on their Specials board because I can guarantee you it is going to knock your socks off.
