1. The Food Options Are Simply Not to Be Missed

Finding a restaurant on Vail Mountain with the best food starts and ends with Larkspur. As one of the most acclaimed restaurants in Vail Valley, we always strive to provide our guests with modern food that excites and impresses. 

Our talented chefs take pride in every little detail of the exquisite food they serve, from mouth-wateringly rich entrées to sweet desserts. Our menus of culinary delights are also created using farm-fresh and locally sourced produce, so expect to be wowed when you join us for a la carte lunch in the winter.

Even in the off season, you can enjoy Vail dining here at Larkspur at a special private event you’ve booked with us. Our experienced events team will work closely with you to customize a perfect seasonal menu for you and your guests. 

2. You Can Dine Amongst the Spectacular Mountain Setting

Vail mountain restaurants pride themselves on offering both sensational food and spectacular views to match. Here at Larkspur, our 5,500-square foot venue is nestled into a corner of Vail Valley at the base of Golden Peak, so the views that surround the grounds make a beautiful backdrop wherever you look.

Best of all, our dining choices make the most of the Colorado setting. You can choose to dine out on our sunny outdoor patio and dine amongst the stunning scenery of Vail Mountain. The fresh Colorado air and the bordering forest of aspen trees will make any outdoor dining experience a time to remember. 

Alternatively, our mountainside outdoor patio offers guests panoramic views of the Golden Peak. Dining alfresco on our mountainside patio has never felt so wonderful when the sun begins to set and our outdoor lights light up. It’s a dining backdrop that’s literally as pretty as a picture. 

3. Unwind With a Delicious Cocktail 

Our Vail dining guide doesn’t end with just tasty food. Quench your thirst with an aperitif  and watch the sun set over Vail’s breathtaking mountains. Here at Larkspur, you can relish the rest of the evening in the right way by joining us in our elegant bar that makes good use of the gorgeous outdoors. The space boasts sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and has direct access to the patio through infinity doors. We simply had to bring the outside in! 

Whether the clock has struck cocktail hour or you simply fancy an after-dinner nightcap, unwinding after your Vail dining experience is an absolute must.

4. Enjoy Our Wintertime Options

During the winter season, we offer varied public dining options throughout the day. You can start your day off the right way by heading to our charming Market for a grab-and-go breakfast. We’ll be waiting to provide you with a bite of something to eat or drink that you can take with you. For an in-dining experience, check out these various lunch items and the spirited apres-ski happy hour at the bar. For dinner, we accept gatherings of 10 or more.

Vail skiers love to descend upon our outdoor patio space that’s perfect for grabbing an après-ski beverage. There’s always time to enjoy a relaxing afternoon after a tough workout on the slopes!
