EPIC DINING

If you’re like us, when you travel you want to know where the locals eat. The criteria for Breck Epic’s family always comes down to a mix of food, atmosphere and service. We want greatr food in a place that we enjoy, and where, most importantly, the staff seems glad that we’re there.

Breck is actualy full of those places. The list below qualify in spades. Their owners believe that food is an expression of love, and that their diners are valued guests. Each of the places below also supports the race and its riders. 

Go there. Tell ’em you’re with us. They’re gonna wanna know how your day went, who suffered, who slayed, and who wants seconds. To a person, the owners and managers are just fantastic folks.

Bon appetit!
