Best Breckenridge Restaurants for Valentines Day
BEST FOR: ROMANCE
The Hearthstone has been a Breckenridge favorite for decades. Located in the 125 year-old Kaiser House, with it's historic Victorian details and huge Ten Mile Range views, The Hearthstone's ambiance couldn't be better for a cozy, candlelit date night. I recommend requesting a table upstairs in the lounge for the best sunset views, or go during Happy Hour when the lounge is first-come first-served. Savor Rocky Mountain classics such as Colorado Rack of Lamb and Granola-Crusted Elk along with seasonal specialties. Save room for dessert, as the 'Cake & Shake' - homemade carrot cake and a Breck Bourbon spiked vanilla milkshake - is the perfect size for sharing!
BEST FOR: FAMILIES
The Bistro, as it's fondly called, is another long-time Breckenridge favorite. It's elevated, but still approachable, New American style is the perfect match for a night out with the whole family. Don't miss the Crispy Tiger Shrimp or the Osso Bucco if it's on special, and you won't need a box of chocolates if you order the Snickers Martini for your nightcap.
BEST FOR: A NIGHT OUT WITH FRIENDS
When Rootstalk opened at the end of 2019, they had an immediate impact on the Breckenridge restaurant scene. Their contemporary, seasonal menu sets the bar continuously high for ski town dining. There are too many exciting dishes to choose from, making Rootstalk a great place to round up a group of friends who like to share! Enjoy a bright, buzzy atmosphere upstairs near the bar, or request a table downstairs for a view of the open kitchen and dimly lit, wine cave vibes.
BEST FOR: FOODIES
If you, too, can never decide on just one dish on the menu, then indulging in the exceptional menu at Radicato is a can't-miss experience. This 'Mountain Italian' sister restaurant of Rootstalk, offers exquisite handcut pastas and seasonal entrees that are meant to be shared. If the seasonal tasting menu is offered, I hightly recommend you go for it - it's one of the most satisfying and exciting prix fixe meals in the mountains.
BEST FOR: MINGLING
For those looking for a good meal as well as a fun night out on the town, look no further than Breckenridge's Carboy Winery. The tasting room offers an upscale menu of snacks, sharing boards, and hearty bites to accompany your Colorado-grown wine flights. After dinner, scoot on over to the adjacent Gold Pan Saloon - a true, local watering hole and the longest, continuously-operating liquor license west of the Mississippi. With a lively bar scene from apres to closing time, you'll be sure to meet some like-minded company!
