Deer Valley Dining - A Mark Of Great Quality
Jun 16th, 2009 by Robin Rutecki
The Deer Valley restaurants are amongst the best in the skiing world. Catering to an exclusive list of clients attending the famous resort, it is probably not surprising. However, what could be considered perhaps a little strange, is the number of restaurants that are highly acclaimed. Indeed, it is harder to find a bad review than it is a good one.
There are three fine dining restaurants within the resort, all of which enjoy respected head chefs and well trained kitchen and dining room teams. First amongst these is the Mariposa. An award winner for several years, it enjoys a reputation as one of the best ski resort restaurants in the world. Diners are offered a range of menus, with the popular tasting menu heading up the impressive list for chef to demonstrate his skills. Contemporary and classic food is available for those not wanting to experiment.
The Seafood Buffet is again well acclaimed. Often frequented by locals of the area, the restaurant prides itself on supplying only the freshest products. With a focus on sustainability of food, customers can enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere than is offered at the Mariposa. Whilst a more comfortable atmosphere is in evidence, no such allowances are made with the food. As you would expect from fine dining, flavor, presentation and quality are of the highest standards.
Ending the list with a flourish is the Fireside Dining restaurant, that delivers Alpine charm, and introduces a novel concept to dining that is fun. Diners are invited to explore the delights on offer, with a tour around four fireplaces. The first offers tempting appetizers including homemade breads, cheeses and chutneys. The second and third fireplaces, present Swiss inspired main courses, with succulent meat dishes, game, poultry and authentic vegetarian options. At the final fireplace, you are invited to select from a tempting range of desserts to finish the meal and partake in the bar offerings.
If you are staying in the resort, it may seem unnecessary to venture outside into the local area. Despite the impressive number and quality of eateries available, it would be a worthwhile trip. Your vacation could only be improved by visiting some of the restaurants around the resort.
First amongst these is the amazingly popular Goldener Hirsch Inn. The winner of many awards, and often booked up for extended periods of time, diners will receive service that is parallel to that offered in the resort.
Yet another fine dining experience can be enjoyed at The Gliterand. Offering a regional take on the pinnacle of cuisine, innovations and modernizations to classical dishes are clearly the concept here. Deer Valley restaurants are not all about fine dining however. The best exponent of the more traditional and homely offerings can be enjoyed at the Stew Pot. With traditional dishes and comforting soups, all homemade with evident care and passion, this is popular throughout the year, ski time or sun.
Looking for a high quality restaurant in and around Deer Valley is not a hard task. Wherever you decide upon, you are unlikely to be disappointed.
