Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro
Restaurant French Aspen Aspen Highlands
During a day of skiing on Aspen Highlands Mountain, the best place to enjoy a feast fit for an epicure is at Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro, a restaurant located inside of a quaint and cozy European ski hut at the top of the Cloud Nine lift. Before a breathtaking view of Pyramid Peak and Maroon Peak, guests dine on raclette, fondue, and other European alpine specialties. In addition to their outstanding lunch service, on Thursday evenings throughout the winter ski season, Cloud Nine hosts snowcat dinners, during which guests are brought to and from the restaurant by snowcat. Reservations are highly recommended for both lunch and dinner.
Creperie du Village
Restaurant Family Friendly French Vegetarian Aspen Central Core
To be steeped in exquisite French food, décor and culture, saunter down the stairs to Creperie du Village at 400 E Hopkins for an experience like no other. The cozy bistro serves up the best cheese fondue in Aspen, along with to-die-for French Onion Soup, delicious charcuterie boards and savory and sweet crepes. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the wine selection is a decadent pleasure.
