My last ski trip was last week in Breck. A last minute trip as I was so sick of the gray skies, both in New Jersey and Wisconsin and weekly snowstorms. As usual, I was tasked with finding a great restaurant for one of the nights. I found Relish Breckenridge. Very impressed. If you are in Breck and want a very nice evening out with wonderful food and wine, you must go here. The chef has managed to blend regional influences with the best ingredients, hence their tagline: Colorado Inspired Cuisine.
I had the scallops with a feuillete of wild rice and fennel in a citrus cream sauce. Someone else had the special for the night which was a haddock with some sort of a pasta crust, another had the duck and yet another had the steak. We accompanied it first with a chard from Jordan vineyards and followed with a red – which at this point, I had too much wine to remember the name!
The meal and conversations were certainly more memorable than my last few evening nights out at nicer establishments like: Spiaggia (Chicago) and Harvest (Madison). Unfortunately, both times were not worth the money spent!
