DISHING RESTAURANT LISTINGS

A GUIDE TO SOME OF THE BEST PLACES TO DINE IN AND AROUND PARK CITY

Modern American cuisine and award-winning spirits Open at 5 p.m. daily | 350 Main St. 435.649.3140 | 350main.com

This 26-year-old family-run restaurant is the place to go for fine dining in an upscale yet hip setting. Notice the tin-pressed ceiling in the historical building that once housed a department store as you take a front-row seat to the action on Main Street. Start with a signature cocktail or a bottle from the Wine Spectator-awarded list. A diverse menu of traditionally prepared, classic and playful cuisine is now crafted for family dining and sharing plates. Menu items reflect the flavors of alpine regions such as garden, valley and fjord. The Utah red trout entrée is a local favorite, but there is something for everyone on the menu, including gluten-free options.

Modern-style tapas bar Open daily 5 p.m. to close | 710 Main St. 435.649.6979 | 710bodegaparkcity.com

Tapas are popular for a good reason. They always encourage socializing, because the focus is not on a full meal set before you but on the ability to share many tasty plates throughout one dinner. 710 Bodega on Main fills that void for Park City. A summer vacation to Spain inspired restaurateurs Nicholas Smurthwaite and Paola Bello to open this modern-style Spanish tapas bar that mixes traditional plates with new twists. Just steps from Main Street, this lively outpost is a superb choice for a night out, whether that’s a large gathering or an intimate date. The concept is simple: good food, good drinks and great service in a relaxing setting. Favorites include clams, calamari, lamb lollipops, croquettes and the only paella in town. A healthy wine list includes several Spanish wines. The rustic and welcoming vibe is achieved through the use of wood planks and metal adorning the restaurant — it’s both hip and cozy at the same time.

The family-friendly side of No Name Saloon Open daily for lunch and dinner | 449 Main St. 435.649.6667 | annexburger.com

With all the things you love about the popular Main Street destination No Name Saloon, Annex Burger, which is adjacent to the saloon, is the family-friendly side of the establishment for adults and kids of all ages. The offerings include not only the full bar menu and daily specials from next door but also the world-famous No Name Saloon buffalo burgers, and additional selections for the kiddos. The menu offers parents cold beer, wine and cocktails, and has mocktails for those who want a tasty beverage without the alcohol. We like the added touch of the Etch A Sketches provided as entertainment for families, as well as the welcoming and comfortable environment in this Main Street staple. Visit the website or call for information on private parties.

A community-minded coffee shop, teahouse and cafe Open daily 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. | 738 Main St. atticustea.com

Part coffee shop, part teahouse, part cafe and even an eclectic gift store, this lower Main Street favorite is a hot spot where you want to hang. Stop in for everything from fresh baked goods to bagels and smoothies alongside your hot drinks of choice. An extensive tea menu may have coffee enthusiasts defecting, especially with the selection of chai and tea lattes. But don’t worry, the selection of espresso drinks — which includes the delicious Mexican Mocha — will give you a chance to branch out from an average cup of joe if you so choose. The locally owned and operated store offers free parking right out front if you need to grab and go. But if time allows, don’t miss browsing the quirky gifts, books, cards and more. Atticus has been a local staple for over 10 years and offers affordable breakfast served until 2 p.m. daily, as well as loose leaf tea and coffee if you need to stock your at-home supply.

For more than 25 years, Bangkok Thai on Main has been offering a fine dining Thai experience to Park City. With a chef who is native to Thailand, the passion for authentic food is impeccable. Chef Yanee brings some of her family favorites to the table as well as experience at top resorts in Thailand. To go alongside the extensive Thai menu, Wine Spectator has recognized the wine list here as one of the top in Utah. With plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options on the dinner menu, and the ability to adjust the heat from as mild to as spicy as you like, everyone will find something they love here. The only problem will be narrowing down what to order. Standard favorites like pad thai and curries are found alongside more exotic versions dressed up with lychee and duck. Save room for the homemade coconut or Thai tea ice cream. Takeout, dine-in and delivery are all available.

Modern and internationally inspired French dip sandwiches Open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily | 227 Main St. 435.513.7100 | bigdipperpc.com

Take a dip into something a little different at upper Main Street’s newest addition. Sandwiches rule at this interesting spot, and each comes with its own dipping accoutrement. The restaurant is located in the bottom of the historically preserved Star Hotel, which now also houses cocktail lounge Star Bar and has been completely restored over the last three years. The experienced team of owners knows the Main Street scene since they have been a part of it with 350 Main and The Spur for many years. The casual spot is downstairs, but the sandwiches can also be found on the menu upstairs at Star Bar. Favorite menu items include Karleen’s Uptown Turkey Grilled Cheese, a nod to a combo that was made popular for many years at Uptown Fare. Plenty of creative salads round out the menu if you are looking for something lighter or gluten free.

Upscale dining with modern-food flair Lunch Mon.–Fri., dinner daily, weekend brunch | 508 Main St. 435.200.8355 | thebrickrestaurantandbar.com

The Brick, which is housed in a beautiful, modern Main Street building, has recently revamped its concept and brought in a new executive chef. Emilio Camara, whose pedigree includes having worked for St. Regis and with Team USA mentors in New York, has created a modern steakhouse-style international-influenced menu. Whether you join for a leisurely lunch of beets with whipped goat cheese salad or a chicken sandwich, or indulge at dinner over a tomahawk steak or long-bone pork chop, you should sit back, relax and sip on a cocktail that complements your meal. The range of their dishes continues into their weekend brunch with options such as smoked salmon toast, steak nachos and the breakfast burger. While the menu feels upscale, the environment is comfortable and welcoming. Both will make you want to come back for more.
