Vintage Vail
Vintage Vail is my favorite food spot in Vail. This avocado toast quite literally changed my life and the french vibes are immaculate. 10/10 would recommend and make sure to make a reservation!
Gorsuch Ski Cafe
This is the cutest hot chocolate cup I’ve ever seen in my life, so this was my top priority when visiting Vail. *Note that the Gorsuch Ski Cafe isn’t located inside Gorsuch. Although a quick visit to the full store is a must- it’s not a requirement to get the hot chocolate.
Garfinkle’s Bar and Grill
Garfinkle’s is always one of my go-to spots. Some of the best views in vail for any season, and guaranteed delicious eats anytime of day.
