A
Hearthstone
One of Breck's favorites is set in a restored 1886 Victorian. This beautiful kitchen churns out special dishes such as house-smoked trout, Colorado green beans wrapped in lamb bacon (we didn't even know that existed), baked Brie, and prosciutto wrapped scallops, and those are just the starters. Entrees include ginger scallops, blackberry-glazed, granola-crusted elk steak, and cedar plank salmon.
The three-course tasting menu is a reasonable $25. Dine in the oh-so-burgundy dining room or on the three tiered patios out front if the weather cooperates. Reservations recommended.

Mimi's Fried Pies
These pies are a cross between Aussie meat pies and Southern-style pot pies, but being handheld there's an empanada influence, and they were dreamt up in long-ago Oklahoma by Mimi's grandmother, who most likely had never seen an empanada, so there's that.
Sweet Mimi fills the flakey dough with cherry, apple, chocolate, coconut cream and pecans, but also gets savory with chicken and broccoli, spinach and mushroom, cheese and pepperoni and more.

Ember
Great jazz on the sound system, strange glowing floral-art around the room and creative fusion on the plate. Apptizers include masa pizza (with chili sauce, curtido, avocado and manchega), pulled Kobe beef, warm walnut Brie, and lobster manicotti. Mains include coconut-glazed char with spaghetti squash, and soft-shell crab in lentil crust served with almond cous cous and curried pineapple hollandaise.

Briar Rose
Set in a magnificent saloonlike frame and on the site of Breck's original saloon, it's named after the famed Briar Rose gold mine on Peak 10. And while it's first and foremost a chophouse, small plates (think shishito peppers, chorizo and mussels and escargot) are served in the dining room and saloon. Fine dining doesn't get any more atmospheric in Breckenridge.

South Ridge Seafood
A Breckenridge version of a classic New England fish house. The goods are flown in daily from Boston. They do New Englad (of course) clam chowder, peel-and-eat shrimp, a nice house-smoked and grilled red trout, miso-marinated salmon, and steaks and chops. There's a groovy local après-ski scene here on powder days. One of the best choices in town.

Modis
A groovy modern mostly-fusion spot on the main drag. They do imaginative dishes (potato chip-crusted halibut) and international ones (pho with shaved rare-beef). They sear Ahi and veal chops too, and cook up soulful starters such as heirloom tomato salad, and pei mussels with bacon jalapeño, tomato and white wine. Not cheap but loved widely.

Clint's Bakery & Coffee House
The coolest coffeeshop in town, where brainy baristas will steam or ice up a chalkboard full of latte and mocha flavors, dozens of loose leaf teas, and the downstairs bagelry stacks burly sandwiches and tasty breakfast bagels with egg and ham, lox, sausage and cheese. And those muffins look damn good too. The bagelry closes up shop at 3pm.

Wasabi
If you're salivating for something raw on your tongue, this tiny hole in the wall sushi spot will definitely satisfy. The chef keeps it simple and affordable, especially at lunch when he offers teriyaki tofu and chicken bowls for a song($7.95), and the volcano bowl, piled with spicy tuna or albacore ($10.95) is the best deal in the house.

Giampetro
Dig into some consistently good, honest and soulful New York-style pizza. They sell it by the slice and pie, along with dishes such as baked ziti with meatballs (among a dozen pasta dishes), submarine sandwiches (good trail grub) and calzones. It's all served in a bright corner room, decorated with those kitschy red-checkered tablecloths

Fatty's
Fatty's is true to its moniker: even the 10in pizza can feed two. Known for the best pizzas in town, including one with a Sicilian-style crust, it is a local dive with a bar that gets rowdy come dark. In summer sit outside on the patio and people-watch.
