    Food line

    Was a good stop around the Alpine slope area. Not a fan of the multiple levels when you have ski boots on but it worked. Food options were good but limited because of COVID.

    I had been to Elk Camp for lunch on the mountain the day before, and my sister in law said she liked Gwyn's better, so we all met there for lunch the next day. I figure that sis liked Gwyn's better because the dining area is a little less crowded than the long tables set close together at Elk Camp. She doesn't have the special diet that I do. I should have looked at all the yummy Yelp photos before coming to Gwyn's because then I would have tried harder to find something that resembled the photos. My cursory glance around the circular food station area only showed me gluten-laden bread, bready things and more bread in various forms. I made a beeline to the area that seemed to have stir fry. The mixed veggies were getting awfully low and I asked the lady if I could have two cups of the veggies. Ended up with only one. (I was splitting a single person lunch with my hubby.) She offered me rice. I said, only one half cup, please. I ended up with much more than that on the plate, but when I asked her to give me less, it slid back into the steam table. I added chicken, enough for two, about six to eight ounces, I told her. I spotted sweet 'tater fries at another station and that brought the veggie total up to what I needed. I did not see any gluten free cookies or treats. I had seen them at Elk Camp. Eating out on the patio was very pleasant. There were grey jays begging for handouts. The view of the mountains was very peaceful. There was live music. What more could I expect or want, having lunch at 10,461 feet? At the top of the Alpine Springs chair lift. Ski equipment and lift ticket required to dine here.

    I had lunch here at least once a week in the winter during my ski breaks. My favorite one is chicken stew, but sometimes they put to much potatoes and you can't find the chickens . Although I like this place because I love Snowmass mountain a lot. It's my favorite mountain for skiing- in all of four mountain. Snowmass is a perfect mountain for family skiing/snowboarding because they offer so much. Snowmass have jumping parks, nastar race track, beginners to double black terrains, love..love.., Snowmass! George one of the owners of this restaurant is always friendly. They just remodel or demolish this restaurant last summer and it's gorgeous! I love that the toilets are on the 1st floor now it used to be downstairs and it was hassle walking down the stairs on your ski boots. Ps: look for an airplane that hanging in the ceiling upstairs.

    I had a breakfast burrito with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream; side of potatoes. The food was fresh and tasty, and the staff were friendly. Their cafeteria fare is less expensive than many of the food places and in Snowmass Village. Gwyn's is near the top of the Alpine Springs lift and it is necessary to ski a blue trail to get down. The facility itself is a little older than the others on my the mountain, but well kept.

    Gwyn's has been consistently voted North America's best on-mountain restaurant by Ski and Skiing.

    (The dining room, not the cafe.) Phenomenal venue of ski-in fine dining located mid-mountain on Snowmass. The atmosphere is European ski lodge. Sit by the picture windows and watch the snow fall, knowing life doesn't get any better than this. It's a tough decision choosing to go for breakfast or for lunch. To do both would be too, too piggish. Either way, it's incredibly delicious, consistently excellent cuisine. This may be my favorite restaurant in the entire world. Reservations necessary.

    This is probably our favorite place to stop on the mountain, although we're usually in the bar for a mid-ski break.

It was also my first time trying Ethiopian influenced food, and it felt like a great introduction. The dish had warmth, depth, and a kind of layered spice profile that felt both new and comforting at the same time. Overall, a really memorable meal in Aspen especially the oxtail, which alone is worth going for.

There is a sweet deck attached for eating outside, which we took advantage of the first time we went. The restaurant interior is just as charming, very clean and modern aesthetic, offering a lovely place to eat. The menu is fresh and wholesome ingredients. We got the same things both times, the Thai noodle salad and the tomato soup - both to die for !! So good. The second time we went we also got a cappuccino, which we regret not getting the first time. The staff is welcoming and super nice, the service was extremely fast and each time we were very well taken care of. We found out that Mawas is a Michelin guide restaurant which is hugely notable on how good this place is. You definitely won't regret going to Mawas kitchen.

It smells wonderful, like you were back at home, waiting on Sunday Supper when you enter. Definitely not fancy, but the staff quickly greets you with a warm friendly welcome smile and some great tips on what to expect. It seems like they are only willing to hype up whatever they are serving in a modest way, because they seem to really enjoy the over-the-top reactions that will follow, once the meal is served. Seriously, I had a cup of their clam chowder, and a bowl of the Habanero Chile and pork stew, with sliced bread and butter. Wow! The clam chowder was very good, but that stew was super delicious. It was so good, we had to go back the next evening to do it all over again. This time I ordered the Chicken and sausage stew, which was also delicious. I would have gone a third night, if I didn't have to get back to So Cal the next morning. The prices are very reasonable and the service is friendly, prompt and professional. I highly recommend this place and just pray they will be open when I return in October.

There's seating both downstairs and upstairs, plus a walk-up window for quick pick-up, which is super convenient. Beyond stews, they offer solid sandwich options, perfectly paired with a side of ruffle chips. They're also family-friendly, with a kids menu and a rotating soup of the day. And if you're ever unsure what to order, the classic beef stew is a safe bet that truly doesn't disappoint. Comfort food done right.
