While you will spend most of your time soaring down the slopes or hiking the trails, you will want to take in some of the amazing food options in Snowmass. One of our favorite ways to do so is to grab brunch with your loved ones at a local restaurant. To help you plan which dining in Snowmass destination to choose, here are our top 5 brunch spots in Snowmass.
Fuel
If Fuel isn’t the epitome of an energizing breakfast, we aren’t sure what is. Conveniently located at 45 Village Run Circle in the Snowmass Village Mall, Fuel serves up breakfast and lunch with a focus on locally grown produce and organic ingredients. For breakfast fuel, choose from souped-up bagels topped with fresh mozzarella and veggies, or breakfast burritos. You must try the Californian with potatoes, avocado, cheddar, and fresh tomato salsa. Open daily from 7 AM to 5 PM in winter and 7 AM to 3:30 PM in summer, Fuel is also the place to get your caffeine on. Think Mexican mocha spiked with cinnamon and cayenne pepper after a glorious fall hike.
