Silver Star Cafe
Cuisine: Globally inspired
Price: $$$
Best for: Live music and on-mountain dining
Opened by a local husband-and-wife team over 15 years ago, Silver Star Cafe has become a favorite Park City restaurant. It also just so happens to be an on-mountain dining spot.
But convenience doesn’t compromise quality at this cozy haunt, which is open for brunch, lunch, and dinner.
Prices are on the higher side for dinner, but between the free live music, quality ingredients, and large portions, most diners won’t mind. If you want to visit while keeping costs down, the brunch and lunch menus have plenty of options under $30.
Standout dishes include a seared elk burger, hearth-fired pizzas, a gyro, and Baja-style fish tacos.
The easiest way for skiers and snowboarders to get here is to take the intermediate terrain down from the Silver Star Lift. But it is a short drive from the First Time Lift, which has beginner runs.
