Crested Butte Dining Guide
The Chef’s Kitchen: A Culinary Experience with a View
While Crested Butte’s dining scene is world-class, some of the most memorable meals happen right here at 2255 Wildcat. Our floating chef’s kitchen is a dream for those who love to cook, featuring high-end appliances, a fully stocked pantry, and every gadget a home chef could need.
The best part? The view. An 80-foot wall of windows frames unobstructed, panoramic views of over 20 mountain peaks, allowing you to prep dinner while the sun sets over the valley. Whether you're making a casual breakfast or a multi-course holiday feast, the open-concept great room ensures the cook is always part of the conversation.
Private Chef Services
If you’d rather spend your evening relaxing by the 25-foot fireplace or soaking in the hot tub, we can help you arrange for a private chef to come to the house. Enjoy a bespoke, restaurant-quality meal tailored to your tastes, served in the privacy of your own dining room with the best views in Colorado as your backdrop. It’s the ultimate way to celebrate a special occasion without ever having to leave the ridge.
Local Legends: The Secret Stash
No trip to Crested Butte is complete without a visit to the Secret Stash. Frequently voted the best pizza in town (and arguably the world), this Elk Avenue staple is a "must-do." Known for its eclectic, funky vibe and creative pies like the Notorious F.I.G. or The Hamptons, it’s the perfect spot for a lively night out with the family. Pro Tip: The Secret Stash doesn’t take reservations and the line can get long, so we recommend putting your name in early and grabbing a drink at a nearby bar on Elk Avenue while you wait during high season!
Dine In or Out
When you arrive, you’ll find our curated dining guide where Jordon shares his personal favorite local spots along with his go-to menu items at each. Whether you’re looking for a world-class steak at Elk Avenue Prime, farm-to-table seasonal dishes at Sunflower, or incredible artisan sourdough pizza and cocktails at Breadery, you’ll know exactly what to order. And for your morning fix, Jordon will point you toward Camp 4 Coffee for the best "sludge" and Butte Bagels for the best breakfast bagels in the valley. Whether you choose to explore Elk Avenue or dine at home with panoramic views, your palate will be well taken care of.
