About the Restaurant
Arguably one of the best ski-in/ski-out restaurant patios in the world, Ajax Tavern is the place to see and be seen during lunch, après ski and dinner. Located at the base of Aspen Mountain, you’ll enjoy watching the people — those zooming down the slopes and those sitting a table or two over — as much as you will love the food and wine. With a focus on bistro-inspired comfort food and sustainably raised meats and produce, Ajax Tavern’s must-tastes for lunch include the juicy Ajax Double Cheeseburger, truffle fries, tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwich, and the onion soup (which, as noted on the menu, is served “as it should be,” with a rich stock and draped in melted cheese).
During après ski is an ideal time to dip into Ajax Tavern’s luscious cheese fondue or to enjoy the bright flavors of fresh oysters or Littleneck clams from the raw bar — each complemented by an abundance of fine wines and aperitifs, of course.
For an unforgettable dinner, tuck into the Colorado lamb Bolognese or savor every last bite of the famous crispy organic chicken. Swoon over the expertly curated wine list and let the excellent wait staff at this top Aspen restaurant guide you through your meal.
