It’s a rare treat when a hotel restaurant also becomes a local’s destination. Yet RIME, Bandannas Bar & Grill, and Courchevel Bistro each bring something special to the table—from unique seasonings and local ingredients to innovative takes on classic dishes—that make their offerings noteworthy and a culinary adventure not to be missed. Meet your next meal right here in your favorite Park City hotel.

The St. Regis, RIME

For those seeking a dining experience that connects them with surrounding landscape, RIME at the St. Regis in Deer Valley is a must-visit. This elegant eatery, with executive chef Larry Abrams at the helm since November 2023, prides itself on using ingredients indigenous to the area, offering a true taste of Utah. Chef Abrams has worked in several Michelin Star restaurants around the globe, honing his skills and taking eaters on a culinary adventure in flavors.

“My team and I offer the opportunity to pull a menu and do an ‘off-the-cuff’ cooking with no menu involved as long as there are no allergies, and we just cook for guests until they wave the white flag,” Abrams explains. “I cook a seven- to eight-course menu so they can experience the locality and the ingredients that we use here featuring our terroir out the back door and our local farmers and harvesters.”

From the local mushroom risotto to the grilled Utah lamb chops, each dish is a tribute to Utah and its agricultural heritage. The menu is thoughtfully curated to offer both familiarity and adventure, with items like braised rabbit pappardelle and ahi tuna sourced from Honolulu providing a diverse gastronomic experience. The restaurant’s sophisticated ambiance, combined with its commitment to local sourcing, makes it a standout destination for discerning diners.

Signature dishes, such as the lobster grilled cheese and the Chicago steak sandwich, offer memorable enhancements to comfort food favorites. Pizza is sold by the whole pie on the dinner menu and by the slice throughout the day.

“Every dish is spectacular with a broad cross-section of dishes, and the outdoor dining area [heated and covered in the cooler months] is phenomenal,” says Michael Oren, director of food and beverage at Hotel Park City. “We recently got a license to sell wine, so come have a slice of pizza and a glass of wine.”

Courchevel, A Talisker Club Bistro

Courchevel, a Talisker Club Bistro is located within the historic Coal & Lumber building on Main Street, bringing the elegance of French cuisine to the mountains of Park City.
This stylish eatery, with the main dining area open to the public, offers a menu that marries traditional French culinary techniques with modern innovation, resulting in dishes that are both timeless and exciting. French/European-inspired cuisine meets the freshest local ingredients, creating a delicious dining experience that celebrates Utah’s four-season climate.

Executive chef Maria Mantilla started as a sous chef when the restaurant opened in 2000 and has worked her way up the ranks, gleaning knowledge from executive chef Clement Gelas, who is from Boege in the Savoie region of the French Alps.

“We try to make everything in-house; the menu changes with the seasons,” Mantilla says. “We use as many local ingredients as we can, from vegetables to cheese. We can accommodate any food sensitivities and diets. We want guests to be happy dining here.”

Classic French staples such as Coq au vin and French onion soup are given a fresh twist, ensuring that they appeal to contemporary tastes. Desserts, like the Gâteau Au Chocolat provide a delightful end to the meal.

Named after Park City’s sister city, Courchevel, France in the French Alps, the restaurant’s blend of rustic alpine charm and Parisian elegance, creates the perfect atmosphere for an unforgettable ski resort town dining experience.

With the arrival of fall comes the craving for hearty, soul-warming meals. For those seeking the perfect comfort food this season, these three restaurants offer dishes that will leave you feeling cozy and satisfied.

High West Saloon

Founded in 2006 by David and Jane Perkins, High West Distillery has become a trailblazer in whiskey innovation. Inspired by parallels between biochemistry and distillation, David, a former biochemist, embarked on this venture after visiting a Kentucky distillery. The family moved to Park City, Utah in 2004, drawn by its rich Old West history and whiskey heritage. High West Distillery also holds the distinction as Utah’s first legal distillery since 1870. In 2009, they delighted whiskey and food lovers by opening the High West Saloon just off Main Street in Park City.

Chef Michael Showers revitalized High West’s eateries in 2018 with his creative flair and nearly 30 years of fine-dining expertise. Passionate about local ingredients, he designed a seasonal, farm-to-table menu that perfectly pairs with the distillery’s acclaimed whiskeys, enriching the guest dining experience.

This season, a delicious and recognizable dish is the Whiskey & Sweet Onion Gratinèe. This savory, hearty soup combines caramelized onions with the distillery’s signature Double Rye, resulting in a rich, complex flavor profile. Topped with melted aged Gruyère cheese and served piping hot, it is a comforting and satisfying dish that adds depth to the rest of the menu.

“Comfort food is a term that we love as it doesn’t just apply to big, robust, heavy foods but we believe and practice the application as our menus make people comfortable,” explains Chef Showers. “Many of our dishes re-appear seasonally as we do have a stable of dishes that are highly recognizable. We make everything our own at all High West locations, but there will be recognizable components to help guests feel more ‘comfortable’ when navigating our menus. The best example is our whiskey gratinée soup, which is our rendition of French onion. For years, we only had it on the menu in the winter as it’s very robust, but our guests started asking for it year-round, so when our clientele speaks, we listen, and now it’s an annual staple on our menu.”

Windy Ridge Cafe

If you’re looking for classic comfort food, Windy Ridge Cafe is the place to be. Opened in 2002 by restaurateur Bill White, the Cafe was established as a respite for locals seeking to dine away from Park City’s bustling Main Street. Over the years, it has become a beloved spot for both Parkites and visitors.

Serving lunch and dinner, the Cafe is celebrated for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and delicious comfort food offerings. Adjacent to the Cafe on Ironhorse Drive stands the Windy Ridge Bakery, completed by White in 2005. The Bakery offers fresh pastry items, specialty cakes, and hearty soups, further enhancing the culinary experience provided by Windy Ridge Cafe.

For the ultimate comfort on a plate, try the taste of Thanksgiving dinner served any time of year with the hot turkey, made with house-roasted turkey breast that’s sliced so thin and tender you can cut through it with a fork. It’s served with mashed potatoes, toasted sourdough made by Windy Ridge Bakery, savory pan turkey gravy and of course, a heaping spoonful of homemade cranberry sauce.

“It’s not about trying to reinvent the wheel or set the next groundbreaking trend to me,” says Benji Fillmore, corporate executive chef, Bill White Restaurant Group. “Comfort food should make you feel safe and nurtured—nostalgic even. That’s the magic of it. Take one bite and suddenly you’re with family and friends, home, and loved.”

Hearth and Hill

Hearth and Hill offers delicious and healthy American cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients. Led by restaurateur Brooks Kirchheimer, the restaurant has been winning awards since its opening in 2018. Executive Chef Jose Morales, originally from Maracaibo, Venezuela, creates culinary experiences that transcend borders utilizing seasonal and local products when possible. Hearth and Hill delivers several types of cuisines through the eclectic culinary team, including an 80% gluten-free menu.

Start your memorable meal with one of their signature cocktails and mocktails to get a taste of what they offer. Then, for those seeking a more refined take on comfort food, Hearth and Hill serves the Tomahawk pork chop that’s seasoned and grilled to perfection, and accompanied by a side of roasted vegetables. The tender and juicy pork chop is both rich and savory, delivering a sophisticated dish that’s warm and comforting during the cooler months.

“This has been another big hit on the menu,” says Morales. “We cure a big bone pork tomahawk over a two-day process, which gives it a nice, rare consistency, and serve it with a house-made pear barbecue sauce. It pairs great with its side of fingerling potatoes, which are braised in a lemon broth and seared in a balsamic reduction. It’s probably my favorite dish.”

Fall brings with it a crisp, invigorating breeze that beckons fashion-conscious adventurers to elevate their wardrobes with a fresh palette of colors and style from the Wasatch Back’s best shops.
This season, cozy up in soft, oversized sweaters perfect for those chilly mountain mornings. Pair them with stylish boots that can handle both rugged trails and downtown strolls. Warm jackets become a must-have as temperatures dip, offering both functionality and flair. And, of course, no fall wardrobe is complete without versatile denim pieces that transition seamlessly from hiking in the aspen forests to enjoying a fireside dinner.

Romy

Romy Boutique is a must-stop for those in Park City who crave distinctive, fashion-forward styles. The boutique is dedicated to showcasing garments that celebrate our community’s diverse tastes.

Since moving to Utah from Australia in 2018, owner Jacqui Lennon has made it her mission to bring top-tier designers from the United Kingdom to the heart of Park City. Her keen eye for fashion ensures that every piece in the boutique is carefully curated to offer something truly special for local clientele.

Lennon recommends chunky knit sweaters in different weights and textures and a puffer vest this fall. Bomber jackets are still on trend, as is an easy, light wool coat that you can wear with jeans. Accessorize with a cool hat or red scarf.

“I think spending money on good basics—modest, high-quality pieces—is really important,” Lennon explains. “I really like a nice base layer, close to the skin, so even when you take the layers off, you have really fine cashmere, cotton, or a natural fiber.”

Cake Boutique

Opened in the summer of 2008, Cake Boutique aimed to meet an unmet need in Park City by providing women with contemporary clothing that is modern, wearable, and not overly trendy. Cozy sweaters, soft tees, perfect boots, and premium denim are Cake’s staples.

Owned by Katie Hammond, also known as “Aunt Cake,” the boutique offers a blend of West Coast flair and casual mountain town living. Hammond is meticulous in selecting the brands that appear in the store, always ensuring they represent the best each label has to offer. Brands like Frame, Rag & Bone, Cara Cara, and AGOLDE are chosen to maintain Cake’s specific edge.

“We love a monochromic look at Cake; it is also very on-trend right now,” Hammond says. “Whether that is a matching set or something from the same color palette, if your sweater and pants are the same color, throw on a coat that is a mix-matched color.”

KÜHL

A Utah brand started in the 1980s, KÜHL is independently owned and inspired by the owner’s experiences adventuring and needing clothing and gear that could withstand the elements and had a great fit. KÜHL means ‘cool’ in German; the name was also inspired by the original pattern master, Holger Kuhr, who was born in Germany.

Today, the dedicated staff creates the best outdoor products on the market to ignite their customers’ passion for the great outdoors. Sarah Scott, brand manager for KÜHL, recommends a pair of Ryder pants that have a flannel lining, paired with the Descender flannel shirt for men; offering great warmth with no base layer needed. For layering, a wool blend makes a great base layer; the Invigoratr Merino Crew is a great option for men and comes in several colors. A fall must-have piece of outerwear for men is The One Shirt-Jac, with exposed insulation and a lightweight design.

“The staff on Main Street is extremely knowledgeable, provides an elevated experience, and they are more than happy to help people with styling,” Scott says. “We also have virtual styling that can be found on the website. People can make an appointment or call in and have someone walk them through what would work best for them.”

Show Pony Midway

One can’t help but be captivated by the impeccable quality that defines this high-end clothing consignment store. Each piece, carefully curated and presented by owner Sandra Perala-Platt reflects her unwavering commitment to quality.
Whether selecting a timeless designer dress or a sleek, contemporary jacket, each product is of superior caliber and, of course, on-trend. Show Pony is not just shopping; it is a treasure hunt offering refined touches to every wardrobe. Perala-Platt suggests sheer fabrics for layering this fall, including luxury knits, cozy sweaters, and vests. The faux fur trend is still hip, from wraps to scarves.
“People think luxury consignment is all high-end, but you can find anything in my shop, which is what I wanted to create,” Perala-Platt explains. “You can find an $18 beautiful J-Crew blouse, or you could find a Dolce & Gabbana sweater set. One of the most important things to me about my consignment business is the sustainability factor for the planet. So much clothing ends up in landfills. Shopping consignment is a great way to positively impact the planet.”

In Summit County, where agriculture weaves through the fabric of daily life, 12-year-old Kenzie West stands among the emerging young farmers. Her latest endeavor, raising a baby lamb for the Junior Livestock Show, held annually during the Summit County Fair, began when the lamb was a month old.

The Junior Livestock Auction serves as the grand finale of a year dedicated to livestock management by the young residents of Summit County who select, care for, and meticulously groom their steers, lambs, or hogs in preparation for the fair. Each participant invests significant time and effort into their animal. The animals are rigorously judged at the fair, and only those meeting the highest standards are sold at the auction.

Kenzie had third choice when picking her lamb from a group and dedicated the next four months to nurturing and preparing it for competition. Her family, who already kept 12 chickens, had given Kenzie a foundation in animal care that she eagerly built upon for this new challenge. Kenzie stayed with her aunt Cathy during the summer to raise the lamb.

“My cousin raised a lamb last year, so I decided to do it this year,” said Kenzie. “It is called an ewe, and I named it Lamborghini. It was difficult. She was a little brat.”

Kenzie’s daily routine involved feeding, grooming and exercising the lamb. Perhaps most notably, she took to shearing the lamb herself and carefully splinting its legs every other day to build muscle.

“They were on a really strict diet, so I would have to take food away after a few hours,” Kenzie explained. “I had to wrap and condition her legs so the shag wouldn’t wear off, and she would have muscly legs. The best lamb can sell for the most money.”

The young farmer also spent considerable time teaching the lamb to stand tall, with a flat back and straight posture from its neck to its feet — essential skills for any livestock competition.

Kenzie’s father, Ron West, expressed pride in her daughter’s dedication and growth through the experience.

“The confidence we have seen in Kenzie, each time we saw her during this process, she was a lot more confident,” said Ron. “This has really helped her develop her own personality instead of being the little sister.

Lamborghini weighed 118 pounds and sold for $17.50 a pound. Jim Rees of 4B Construction purchased Kenzie’s lamb, but gave it back to Kenzie. Kenzie is considering gifting it to her grandfather, who raised cattle in Upton.

The Christian Center of Park City last month opened its fourth thrift store, Summit Exchange, at Outlets Park City.

“This is super exciting for us. We have wanted to get a store at the Outlets in Park City for a few years now,” said Jake Carter, the center’s marketing and grant manager. “We receive donations at the Christian Center Park City location (on Deer Valley Drive) and then take them over to the Summit Exchange, and everything is sold at a very discounted price.”

Summit Exchange offers a selection of new and gently used clothing, furniture, home goods and recreational gear. Every purchase at Summit Exchange supports the local community, funding Christian Center programs such as the food pantry and Operation Hope.

“Anyone is welcome anytime to come to our food pantry and gather any food they need,” Carter said.

The store’s inventory is entirely donation-based with donations accepted at both the Heber City and Park City locations. Items are sorted and then distributed to the resale stores, where they are upcycled to generate revenue for center’s community outreach programs. The aim is to not only provide affordable shopping options, but also foster a sense of higher purpose among shoppers.

Top 5 Donation Needs

Summit Exchange relies on the community’s generosity to stock its shelves and support its mission. Here are the top five categories of items that are currently needed:

1. Food: Non-perishable food items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, and cereals are always in high demand. Donations help stock local food pantries and provide meals for families and individuals in need.
2. Clothing and Shoes: Both adult and children’s clothing and shoes are essential. Items should be clean, free of stains, and without holes or tears. Seasonal clothing is particularly welcomed to help people stay warm during the winter and cool in the summer.
3. Furniture: Gently used furniture pieces, including sofas, chairs, tables and beds, can make a significant difference for homes in transition. Donated furniture should be in good condition and free of major damage and odors.
4. Household and Kitchen Items: Essentials such as pots, pans, dishes, and small appliances help families establish and maintain their households. These items should be functional and in good working order.
5. Recreation and Sport Equipment: Items like bikes, skis, snowboards and camping gear are especially appreciated, reflecting the active lifestyle of the Park City community. These donations allow others to enjoy recreational activities at an affordable cost.

To ensure the highest quality of donations, Summit Exchange requests that all items be in good condition. This means no stains, tears, rips, or broken parts. Clothing should be clean, free from soil or moisture, and should be packed in bags or boxes.

The store is open Monday through Saturday, 10 am-5 pm. For more information about donation drop-off points and store hours, visit the Christian Center of Park City website: ccofpc.org/donate-items/

During the summer months, historic Main Street transforms into a lively outdoor dining scene, thanks to the city’s innovative approach to al fresco dining which began in 2011.
Recognizing the potential to infuse activity into the downtown area during the warmer months, Park City officials implemented a special provision within the city code, allowing for up to 12 al fresco dining decks placed along Main Street. The initiative has been embraced by both restaurant owners and patrons.
“Due to its historic nature, Main Street had unique challenges, including a narrow sidewalk and street. These areas are owned and maintained by the City,” explains Jenny Diersen, economic development program manager, Park City. “The City Council elected to implement a series of programs to help increase vibrancy on Main Street, and the Dining Deck program was born. There have been 9 participants each year. The Dining Deck program provides additional economic benefits (sales tax) to Park City, helps create additional jobs, and provides a unique setting for Park City locals and visitors alike.”
These outdoor dining spaces do more than just add tables outside; they enhance the overall ambiance of Park City’s historic center. Each deck extends the restaurant it belongs to, allowing for a seamless flow from indoor to outdoor spaces. Each restaurant’s liquor license also includes its al fresco dining deck (and rooftop dining decks) thanks to a contractual agreement with the city.
