The Butcher & The Baker
Two veterans of upscale local catering started this heartbreakingly cute cafe, and no one beats them for breakfast. The to-go sandwiches – a daily rotation that includes turkey and cranberry on crunchy multi-grain bread – are the best bet for a gourmet meal on the trail.
It's the kind of place that represents the new, smart trends in simple, quality food: the ethos here is local, organic and perfect. We're simply head over heels.

Fat Alley
You can pick something off the chalkboard our just take what the other guy has his face in – a cheap and messy delight. Go for the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on top. Do it right by siding it with a bowl of crispy sweet-potato fries.
The can beer specials are outrageous.

Honga's Lotus Petal
Upscale and elegant, Honga's offers a pricey fix for pan-Asian cuisine in a large, two-story dining space. The dishes are elegantly presented – the Korean short ribs just about fall off the bone – and the nightly specials range from Thai to Japanese flavored. We'll forgive the pan flutes.

Excelsior Cafe
One of Telluride's hottest restaurants, Excelsior gets rave reviews for its Euro wine-bar vibe. The menu features a little bit of everything, from Moroccan lamb chops to Montana buffalo short ribs. If you are short on cash, order from the less expensive, but equally tantalizing, bar menu.

Brown Dog Pizza
The pizza? It's thin crust and fair enough, but the crowd makes the place interesting. Ten minutes after you belly up to the bar for a slice and a cheap pint of Pabst, you'll be privy to all the local dirt. It's one of the most affordable meals on the strip.

Cosmopolitan
The on-site restaurant at the Hotel Columbia is one of Telluride's most respected for fine modern dining with a twist - can you resist Himalayan yak ribeye or lobster corn dogs? The food is certainly inventive, which makes up for the snooty service.

La Marmotte
Seasonal plates of French cuisine and candlelit warmth make an excellent juxtaposition with the building's former use as a 19th-century ice-house. Start to finish it's a dizzyingly romantic affair.

Clark's Market
Put the condo kitchenette to good use after picking up supplies at Clark's, the nicest market in town. They stock specialty goods and scores of treats, with fresh fruit and deli meats.
