The original story by Katie Bamber for the Telegraph.
Jackson Hole isn’t just about big snow and big lines — it’s also quietly become a serious food town. Whether you’re wandering around Jackson’s historic downtown, staying slope-side in Teton Village or grabbing a bite between laps, there’s plenty beyond basic ski-resort grub.
Here’s a rundown of some of the most-loved spots in and around the resort, from white-tablecloth dinners to waffle stops at 10,000 feet.
Jackson Town
Snake River Grill
If you ask locals for one must-try restaurant, most point straight here. Snake River Grill does elevated mountain fare in a rustic, dimly lit dining room with a serious bar. The famous Steak Tartare Pizza is the go-to order, ideally after a strong martini (remember, you’re at nearly 2,000m). Upscale but cozy, this is Jackson’s benchmark for special-occasion dining.

The Blue Lion
Housed in a charming old house, The Blue Lion is classic Jackson: hearty, polished American food with a Western twist. Think lamb, fresh fish and wild game like grilled wasabi elk, bison ribs with creamy polenta, and starters such as stuffed mushrooms or French onion soup. It’s one of the town’s long-running favorites, so reservations are smart.

Glorietta
Glorietta feels like a cool city trattoria dropped into a mountain town. The room is warm and wood-paneled, with old photos on the walls and a buzzing bar. The focus is on homemade pasta and a strong Italian wine list, backed by a wood-fired grill turning out short rib, wagyu steaks and fish. Simple, comforting and lively.

Figs
Inside Hotel Jackson, Figs is all about Lebanese-inspired dishes and big shared mezze spreads — a welcome break from burgers and steaks. The modern dining room is anchored by a huge fireplace, making it a relaxed spot for group dinners or a more laid-back night out at the end of a ski week.

King Sushi
You’d never guess this small log cabin used to be a blacksmith shop. Now it’s one of Jackson’s most beloved sushi and sashimi spots, packed most nights of the year. The menu mixes classic rolls with “new-style” sashimi, and the cozy space fills up quickly — book ahead if you can.

Aurora (Snow King Mountain)
For a “dinner with a view” experience, take the gondola up Snow King and eat at Aurora, perched above town. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out over Jackson’s lights — and on clear nights, you may even spot the northern lights. The menu is deliberately eclectic: raw fish, fondue, shishito peppers, gnocchi, chops and steak frites all share the stage.

Coe Tavern
Set in a beautifully renovated 1915 log cabin once tied to the Coe family blacksmith operation (now on the National Register of Historic Places), Coe Tavern does refined comfort food. Expect French onion soup, lobster sliders, oysters and Indian curried lamb. Burger nights are a local favorite: brisket, short rib or chuck with a draft beer for a solid price.

Teton Village (Base Area)
Il Villaggio Osteria
At the base of the slopes, Osteria serves wood-fired pizzas, fresh pasta and Italian antipasti in a relaxed, family-friendly space. It’s ski-in, ski-out for lunch and a village staple by night, often cited as having some of the best pizza in Wyoming.

Teton Thai
Tucked near the Ranch Lot car park, this laid-back spot is a favorite with locals and resort staff. Teton Thai dishes up everything from Tom Yum and Pad Thai to spicier regional dishes, with heat levels you can dial up or down. It’s a refreshing change from heavy Western fare and perfect after a cold day on the hill.

The Spur at Teton Mountain Lodge
The Spur leans into modern Western comfort food in a cozy lodge setting. Think steaks, elk osso buco, and a rich four-meat Bolognese (beef, buffalo, wild boar and duck ragu). Warm service and a welcoming bar make it a go-to for après and hearty dinners.

Steadfire Chophouse (Four Seasons)
Inside the Four Seasons, Steadfire Chophouse is the resort’s classic steakhouse with a Western story. Huge tomahawk steaks come with huckleberry steak sauce or juniper béarnaise, while the Raw Bar offers oysters, crab, scallops and caviar. Add in steakhouse standards like corn soup and wedge salads, and you’ve got a splurge-worthy night out.

On the Mountain
Piste Mountain Bistro & Off-Piste
At the top of the Bridger Gondola, Piste offers big views and relaxed, high-altitude dining — think chili bowls, salads, and hearty mains in a bright, window-lined space overlooking the Tetons. Under the same roof, Off-Piste serves grab-and-go slices, sandwiches and snacks in a more casual, cafeteria-style setup. Even non-skiers can ride the gondola (for a fee) just to have lunch at nearly 9,000 feet. New for Winter 25/26: Piste will also serve dinner with sunset views over the range.

Corbet’s Cabin
Perched at 10,450 feet near the top of Jackson Hole’s famous tram — and just above the legendary Corbet’s Couloir — Corbet’s Cabin is all about one thing: waffles. There’s no running water, just waffle irons and a tiny counter, but it’s become an institution. The peanut butter and smoked bacon waffle is the cult favorite, and the views are icing on the (waffle) cake.

Trapper’s (Solitude Station)
Midway up the Sweetwater Gondola, Trapper’s offers a more upscale lodge vibe with a modern menu. You’ll find elk Bolognese, bison carpaccio, and, if you’re feeling fancy, a Champagne and caviar “Snow Experience.” It’s also a great spot for early après on the mountain before 4 p.m. Non-skiers can ride up for free from the base.

Whether you’re hunting for a long, lingering dinner or a quick bite between laps, Jackson Hole has plenty to keep you well-fed — no matter how hard you ski.
