If you are craving a flavorful and memorable culinary experience in Breckenridge, look no further than the 2023 Best of Breckenridge award winner, Rootstalk. The awards, voted on anonymously by locals and people who work in Breckenridge, recognized this establishment as the best fine dining in Breckenridge for 2023. Seeking to provide ‘Elevated, Everyday Dining’, Rootstalk’s flavors, atmosphere, cocktails, attention to detail, and service go above and beyond.
Rootstalk opened in Breckenridge in 2020, but its roots in the community go much deeper. Head Chef and James Beard Award finalist, Matt Vawter, grew up in Summit County and attended the Culinary Program at Colorado Mountain College in Breckenridge. After working his way up in the Denver food scene at restaurants like Mercantile and Fruition, Vawter decided to return to Breckenridge and bring elevated meals to the high country.
With a menu and philosophy centered around new American cuisine and the freshest sourced ingredients, you can enjoy happy hour (4-5 p.m.) or dinner service. Rootstalk offers à la carte options or the chef’s seasonal tasting menu, a 7-course tour de force of culinary excellence.
The menu changes seasonally so you can enjoy the freshest of ingredients and something different when you visit again. Items like Colorado lamb tartare, rabbit ‘porchetta’, Chef Vawter’s delicious French onion soup, agnolotti, lion’s mane schnitzel, and Berkshire pork tenderloin can be found on the menu and enjoyed this winter season.
It’s no wonder this establishment has become a go-to for celebrations, gatherings, and grand meals in Breckenridge. The staff’s attentiveness is as amazing as the food, and it is no surprise that locals chose Rootstalk as the best fine-dining restaurant in Breckenridge for 2023.
