If your favorite meal of the day isn’t brunch, then you’ve never been to one of these Colorado mountain town gems. Big days on the ski hill, a hike up a fourteener, or a waterfall ice climb all require fuel, and lucky for you, eggs, pancakes, bacon, veggie scrambles, and legendary eggs benedict are all features on these scrumptious menus. If you find yourself in Steamboat Springs, Winter Park, or any of these picturesque mountain towns, get your brunch on at these delicious restaurants.

Known for their legendary eggs benedict dishes, this Steamboat Springs establishment is a local favorite and as well as a pilgrimage for visitors to the ‘Boat. Grab some grub here before hitting the quarter mile trail to beautiful 280-foot Fish Creek Falls.

2. Mountain Rose Café, Winter Park

This cozy café located in a quaint cabin serves healthy portions of classic favorites like French toast and omelets. If you’re really hungry, go for the smothered breakfast burrito. You may not have to eat for the rest of the day after that dish.
