1. Yuki Yama Sushi - $$$
586 Main Street, Park City
Great sushi is all about fresh ingredients, creative combinations and bold presentation. Yuki Yama has mastered them all, becoming one of Main Street’s most highly acclaimed eateries. The atmosphere of true authenticity begins as you step in the door, welcomed by an interior of raw wood and stone blended with sharp modern accents and traditional tatami. The thoughtful design doesn’t stop at the place settings — each specialty roll, gourmet noodle dish and glass of sake is artfully prepared. Reservations are highly encouraged, and be sure to keep in mind the restaurant’s seasonal closure from April-May.
2. Silver Star Cafe - $$
1825 Three Kings Drive, Park City
This cozy joint has been a staple of après-ski dining for many years. The new American menu features soups, salads and sandwiches that change seasonally. The great food, service and views hit the spot after a long day of skiing. But you don’t have to take our word for it — the Silver Star Cafe was featured on Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” show and received a rave review. On weekend nights you can almost always hear live music from local groups, and sometimes even popular touring artists. Silver Star Cafe is worth a visit during any trip to Park City.

Tired of hearing that dreaded question — "what do you want to eat for dinner?" Ordering from 710 Bodega is the perfect answer. This delectable spanish-fusion eatery specializes in bold, innovative small-plate tapas. Tapas are meant to be shared, but the surf, turf and vegetable appetizers are so good they might tempt you to keep them all to yourself. Grab a drink off the wine and beer menu or enjoy a house cocktail with dessert. 710 Bodega keeps it simple with great food and drinks in a relaxing environment.
4. Handle - $$

7. Freshie’s - $$
1897 Prospector Ave, Park City
Freshie’s is a true lovechild of Park City’s culinary scene. The founders started serving their famous lobster rolls at the Park Silly Market in 2009 and quickly expanded into a food truck that can still be found in Park City and Salt Lake City. The story didn’t end there, and the quality of their seafood menu is evident in the customer demand that fueled them to open three restaurants in Utah and Wyoming. Nothing hits the spot like a bowl of fresh clam chowder after a day on the slopes. Stop by to try the lobster roll that Park City can’t seem to get enough of.
8. Vessel Kitchen - $$
1784 Uinta Way, #E1, Park City

Vessel Kitchen is a favorite among vegans, vegetarians and anyone following diets such as keto, paleo and even Whole30. Try a signature seasonal specialty or design your own Vessel dish by choosing from fresh veggies, protein, sauces and toppings.
