Top Five Favorite Restaurants in Steamboat Springs- A Locals Tip!

With so many exceptional restaurants in Steamboat Springs, it can sometimes be a daunting task to choose just a few during your vacation. That's why we're here to help. Below you'll find the ResortQuest Steamboat staff's top five restaurant choices to enhance any trip to Steamboat Springs.

1-Cafe Diva- It is almost torturous to work next door to such an enticing restaurant. Everyday, on our brief passing of Cafe Diva on our way here to there, we are treated to the scents emitting from the restaurant. Ingredients supplied by small farms and ranches, and Chef Kate's fascinating abilities make this one of Steamboat's most coveted locations for a romantic meal with your significant other, or an impressive choice for anyone to suggest for a comforting evening meal. Although it was difficult to have my co-workers choose their favorites from the winter menu, we managed to narrow it down to three: try the elk tenderloin, easily the best on the mountain; for a tasty appetizer, try the duck confit and MouCo cheese crispy spring rolls; or for an interesting sandwich, try the peanut butter and bacon sandwich. Located in the Torian Plum Plaza.   Book your lodging now for the slopeside ski-in ski-out Torian Plum Condos!

2-Mazzola's Majestic Italian Diner-Steamboat Springs knows Italian food! Located in beautiful downtown Steamboat Springs, the atmosphere at Mazzola's is one of the best. Whether your interested in a family meal with the kids, or a quick meal at the bar with friends, you'll find the cure for what ails you at Mazzola's. Design your own perfect pizza pie with the kids, enjoy a crispy calamari appetizer, or savor the butternut squash ravioli with sage-infused marinara sauce.

3-Ore House at the Pine Grove-For a unique Steamboat Springs atmosphere, great steaks, and fresh seafood, visit the Ore House. The Ore House is also a great location for your party or wedding reception needs. The Sunset Menu is a great way to keep costs down and is offered from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. during the winter. Meals are $15.95 during the Sunset Special, and include a side, which can include their amazing all-you-can-eat salad bar. The barn that houses the restaurant dates back to 1889 and is rich with Western history. Try the Steak Ore House, the Rocky Mountain Ruby Red Trout, or the Elk Loin Steak.

4-Saketumi Sushi and Asian-fusion Restaurant- Just because we're in the mountains doesnt mean the sushi will suffer.  Saketumi flies in fresh fish and seafood- so it is always the best quality.  With an intimate atmosphere, this is the perfect location for a romantic meal. With intricate and inventive sushi rolls, you will be delighted by the presentation. Try the Steamboat Crunch roll, the Tree Hugger roll, or The 14'ER roll, or delve into a red or green curry dish. Located in the Torian Plum Plaza-  Stay right at the Torian Plum and have access to amazing restaurants, shopping and ski-in ski-out accommodations!

5-La Montana- Offering a creative gourmet take on Mexican and southwestern dishes, this restaurant is a favorite for our guests.
