Where Adventure Meets Great Food

After multiple trips exploring Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole's incredible outdoor offerings, we found ourselves frustrated by dining guides that either focused on budget tourist traps or intimidating fine dining with no middle ground. We wanted thoughtful recommendations that understood that after a 12-mile hike, you need more than a protein bar—but you also don't want to spend hours researching restaurants.

Jackson Hole represents the perfect intersection of world-class outdoor adventures and exceptional culinary experiences. From the majestic peaks of Grand Teton National Park to the legendary slopes of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, this valley attracts adventurers who demand excellence in every aspect of their mountain experience—including where they dine.

That's why we created Jackson Hole Best: 30-50 carefully curated restaurants that deliver exceptional experiences across every price point, from post-hike fuel to celebration dinners. Our team consists of outdoor enthusiasts who understand the unique dining needs of active travelers and local adventurers.

We've spent countless seasons exploring everything Jackson Hole has to offer: backcountry skiing in Grand Teton, hiking to hidden alpine lakes, mountain biking through sagebrush trails, and discovering the restaurants that truly understand the mountain lifestyle. Our recommendations come from real experience, not just online research.

What makes Jackson Hole dining unique is its ability to cater to genuine outdoor enthusiasts while maintaining sophisticated culinary standards. The best restaurants here understand that their guests might arrive straight from the mountain with ski boots, hiking gear, or climbing equipment, yet still expect exceptional food and service.

Our comprehensive guide covers every dining scenario an adventurer might encounter: hearty breakfasts to fuel dawn patrol ski tours, quick lunch spots accessible during busy hiking days, après-adventure gathering places for celebrating summit successes, and elegant dinner destinations for special occasions under the Teton stars.

From James Beard Award-winning establishments that source ingredients from local ranches and farms, to beloved local joints where ski patrollers and climbing guides grab their morning coffee, we've identified the restaurants that capture the authentic spirit of Jackson Hole's adventure culture.

Whether you're planning your first visit to Grand Teton National Park, returning for another season of world-class skiing, or calling Jackson Hole home, our guide ensures that every meal enhances your mountain experience. We believe that great food is an essential part of any adventure, providing the fuel for epic days and the perfect conclusion to unforgettable mountain experiences.
