Dining

override title When you're staying in Ouray during any of its magnificent seasons, there's always a variety of great dining experiences available. Whatever you're craving, from burritos to beef Wellington-- our local restaurants aim to please.

You can start your day with a cup of coffee and a warm croissant from one of our bakeries or partake in a full hearty breakfast. Before heading out to explore the mountains, get a picnic-to-go to throw in your pack or car.

If you are staying in town to enjoy the Hot Springs Pool, Box Canyon Waterfall & Park or Cascade Falls, stroll through town for lunch and enjoy the view while having a sandwich, hamburger or salad. Many of our restaurants offer outdoor seating.

After a day of exploring, shopping or just relaxing, end the day with enchiladas, a fine steak, Italian cuisine, or even bratwurst. Your palette will not be disappointed with all of your options. And to finish the evening off stop in for a nightcap at one of our local bars or indulge in something sweet for dessert-- the possibilities are endless.
