  1. A

    Durango Diner

    To watch Gary work the grill in this lovable greasy spoon is to be in the presence of greatness. Backed by a staff of button-cute waitresses, Gary's fluid, graceful wielding of a Samurai spatula turns out downright monstrous plates of eggs, smothered potatoes and plate-sized French toast. The best diner in the state? No doubt.

    Olde Tymers Café

    Voted as having the best burger in Durango by the local paper, the Olde Tymers is popular with the college crowd, especially during $5-burger nights. Well-priced American classics are served at cozy booths under pressed-tin ceilings in a big open dining room or on the patio outside. Ask about the cheap daily specials.

    Jean Pierre Bakery

    Visit this charming patisserie for a taste of France in Colorado. The mouthwatering delicacies are made from scratch. Don’t miss the soup-and-sandwich lunch special ($12), which includes a sumptuous French pastry chosen from the large counter display. Well worth at least one meal.
