Now that the ski season is here in earnest, that means two things – first, fresh powder! Second, time to fuel up with some of Park City’s coziest, most warming comfort food dishes. When you need to fill your tank with nourishing meals that feed the soul as well as the appetite, these Park City eateries have got you covered.
Pasta and Noodle Dishes
There’s nothing that conjures up comfort like a steaming plate of noodles! At Buona Vita Ristorante Italiano, you can enjoy spaghetti with pomodoro sauce, penne with Alfredo sauce or jumbo ricotta ravioli with wild mushroom cream sauce. For families, Main Street Pizza and Noodle is an easy choice. Pasta dishes come with substantial toppings like meatballs, chicken or prosciutto. If you would prefer a piping hot bowl of noodle soup, head to Yuki Yama Sushi for pork, kimchee or vegetarian ramen.
Savory Hot Dishes
At Vessel Kitchen, their motto is “comfort food made new,” and as an added bonus, their entrees are also fresh and healthy. All dishes are made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients. You can create your own custom plate centered around hearty proteins like the lemon Dijon roasted chicken breast, honey mustard pulled pork or pot roast beef, then add your choice of sides such as creamy mashed potatoes, caramelized sweet potato hash or macaroni and cheese.
Flanagan’s On Main offers traditional Irish “fayre” like shepherd’s pie, Irish beef stew or corned beef and cabbage, as well as prime rib each Thursday night, served with garlic smashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, house-made au jus and horseradish cream.
Soups And Stews
Pick up some homemade turkey chili at Deer Valley Grocery-Café, topped with diced onion, salsa fresca, sour cream and cheddar cheese. For spicy soup, Bangkok Thai On Main‘s tom kha gai soup melds together coconut cream, galangal and lemongrass with chicken and mushrooms. When you head to Heber Valley, family-owned Dairy Keen (home of the train!) offers a variety of homemade soups on a rotating calendar (soup menu is subject to change), such as cream of broccoli or loaded baked potato.
Sweet Treats And Hot Beverages
There’s no talking about comfort food without mentioning sweet indulgences and cozy hot beverages that feel like a warm hug. The desserts, such as the sticky toffee pudding at Hearth And Hill are sure to warm your heart. For something extra special, check out the amazing choices at High Altitude Bakery – innovative cakes made to order, cupcakes and mini cupcakes, royal icing cookies and – of course! – pies like caramel apple and bourbon chocolate pecan. Java Cow on historic Park City Main Street offers giant macarons, eclairs and a full menu of expresso drinks – grab something to enjoy as you amble down Main Street! Lastly, Lucky Ones Coffee inside the Park City Library is the perfect place to linger with a lavender latte or protein hot chocolate and an avocado toast before you explore the stacks.
Stay cozy this winter… and enjoy!
