Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and there is no shortage of romance to be found in Breckenridge. This cozy mountain town has stunning views and historic buildings that truly make you feel the love. We’re sharing our top six most romantic restaurants in Breckenridge so you and your sweetheart can enjoy a romantic evening on the town.

1. Hearthstone Restaurant

If you’re looking for an intimate setting, Hearthstone offers rich Victorian-era décor and one of the best views in Breckenridge. This historic restaurant is located in a 125-year-old building with stunning views of Breckenridge Ski Resort–at night, spot the lights from the snowcats grooming the ski runs on the mountain. Choose from wild, elevated dishes like Blackberry Elk and Alaskan Black Cod.

2. Rootstalk

This sophisticated restaurant provides a seasonally curated menu made with care and consideration. Share a cheese and charcuterie board or, if you can’t choose from their mouth-watering options, try a five or seven-course tasting menu with a wine pairing.

3. Briar Rose Chophouse

Briar Rose is a classic chophouse that gives you a timeless and elegant dining experience. Aged beef and fresh wild game plates are a nod to the western heritage that can still be seen in Breckenridge. Take a step back in time and enjoy a candlelit dinner in this historic saloon.

4. Aurum Food & Wine

If you’re seeking an upscale yet laid-back dining experience, Aurum Food and Wine is a must-visit. Indulge in their delicious and affordable happy hour, explore the à la carte menu, or savor a curated chef’s tasting menu. The only wrong choice? Not visiting at all! Some of our favorite pairings include the Korean Fried Chicken with the Kale Salad.

5. Blue River Bistro

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or planning a cozy date night, Blue River Bistro delivers an unforgettable experience. With bar seating featuring TVs and tables perfect for larger gatherings, this spot is a must-visit on your next trip. We can’t get enough of the Heluka Baby Back Ribs and Bison Short Ribs!
