2007 Best Restaurant in Dillon
Arapahoe Cafe
Doug and Deb Pierce bought the
Arapahoe Cafe after working at some of Keystone’s best
restaurants and eventually being the director of food and beverage. Now,
customers benefit from his knowledge and talent.
Aside from Pierce’s experience, the log building comes with a history of its
own. It
moved from where the
Dillon Reservoir sits today to its present location, and the menu tells you
the story. The rustic atmosphere, combined with great food, makes this
little Dillon gem a favorite. On a summer morning, the patio’s gorgeous, and
on a winter day it’s the perfect way to warm up before a day on the
mountain.
2007 Best Brunch
Arapahoe Cafe
The Arapahoe Café isn’t just a cute little
cabin nestled near Dillon Reservoir. It also
happens to serve the best brunch. From 7 a.m. until noon on weekends (11
a.m.
on week days), it serves such favorites as roadhouse corn beef hash, ruby
red trout
filets with eggs, Denver omelets and El
Paso scramblers. If you’re looking for a meatier dish, go for a burger at
lunch or one of its many sandwiches.
2006 Best Dillon Restaurant
1. Arapahoe Cafe
First of all, it's just cool that the Arapahoe Cafe is
a salvaged building; it once sat where the Dillon Reservoir is today. The
rustic atmosphere combined with great food makes this little Dillon gem a
favorite. On a winter morning, it's the perfect way to warm and wake up
before a day of skiing or riding. On a summer day, don't miss eating on the
patio.
