World-class dining in a small town? You shouldn’t expect anything less from Park City, which may be the most cosmopolitan ski town there ever was. Former host of the 2002 Olympics, home of the largest U.S. ski resort, and annual stop of celebrities for the Sundance Film Festival, Park City is indeed an international destination—and it shows on local menus, from top-notch lobster rolls to a Uruguayan sandwich. If you visit Park City for Sundance or during busy ski weekends, some restaurants may be crowded or closed for private events, while others surge their prices. Meanwhile, in fall and spring, some restaurants close down temporarily. A little research before you dine pays off, and sometimes avoiding Main Street will be your best bet, but checking out our pick of the best restaurants in Park City is the best place to start.
