On-Mountain Dining
Beaver Creek’s on-mountain dining ranges from casual lunches to refined evening dining. Several options require a reservation and are worth planning around, not just stumbling into during a ski break.
One of Colorado’s most celebrated dining experiences. Tucked into a meadow at the base of Larkspur Bowl, Beano’s is only accessible by open-air sleigh ride. The dinner is multi-course, with a seasonal menu that leans on local Colorado produce. The combination of remote setting, warm interiors, and serious cooking has made it one of those meals guests talk about for years. Book well in advance during peak weeks.
A more family-oriented counterpart to Beano’s, also reached by open-air sleigh. Allie’s is known for its approachable Colorado cuisine and relaxed atmosphere, and is fantastic for families who want the sleigh-ride experience without the formality of a fine-dining occasion. The seasonal menu focuses on hearty mountain cooking.

Reservations required.
Beaver Creek’s most beloved tradition in its own dedicated home. The Cookie Cabin sits at the top of the Cinch Express lift and serves the resort’s famous fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies every afternoon during the ski season. A small but unmissable stop, especially for those visiting with kids.
A convenient refuelling stop at the top of McCoy Park during the season, it offers a range of snacks and hot drinks to keep the family going during a day exploring the Nordic terrain and mountain biking trails in the McCoy Park area.
Beaver Creek Village Restaurants
Beaver Creek Village is home to an array of restaurants that cover everything from casual pizzerias and après bars, to elevated fine dining. Most can be found within a few minutes’ walk of each other, although there are others spread further afar that can be reached with your own car or the Village Connect shuttle.
