Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Park City

"Two lofty dining rooms, an expansive deck, and terrific live entertainment endow this restaurant with character and appeal. The cuisine and service only serve to heighten the experience. Although the place can get loud at times, it's characterized by a good-natured boisterousness that embraces other diners as well."

"If we’re keeping score, Riverhorse on Main may be the place to beat. Known as one of North America’s top culinary institutions, Riverhorse holds its own in the award category. Past wins include the AAA Four Diamond Award as well as a 17-year-streak with Forbes Travel Guide Four Star Award."

"Utahns may not see eye-to-eye on some things, but we can all put politics aside and agree that Red Iguana is king of Mexican in the city. A local favorite since the mid-‘80s, this colorful restaurant has not one but seven varieties of mole on the menu, including a must-try Mole Colaradito with Mexican chocolate, pine nuts and fresh poblano over carnitas. The Cardenas family behind Red Iguana also serves killer Mexican cocktails from a Paloma to a sour-sweet Tamarindo marg."

"Got seated on a busy Friday night at the chef's table, which was quite a treat!. Ordered a carafe of wine for myself, and decided to go with the Lamb Shank…”more"

"A quiet getaway just on the edges of bustling downtown Salt Lake City, the Oasis Café is a friendly neighborhood spot that offers a quiet place to enjoy breakfast and brunch seven days a week. The café features both indoor and outdoor seating, the former of which is a Zen-like space, and the latter is a pretty patio that is perfect for sunny days. Breakfasters and brunchers can tuck into plates of fluffy scrambled eggs and bacon, omelets, eggs Benedict, and stacks of pancakes with sweet or savory toppings as well as healthy options such as fruit, oatmeal, and muffins."

"The aptly named Oasis Cafe is a hidden retreat in the heart of Salt Lake City. Located beside the Golden Braid Bookstore, this restaurant offers not only a treat for the food seeker's taste buds, but also a quiet place in which to relax. Serving handcrafted foods featuring the finest, freshest ingredients possible, the Oasis Cafe offers creative, locally-inspired cuisine designed to be as refreshing and delicious as it is nutritious."

"Like a true sanctuary, Oasis Cafe sits in the heart of Salt Lake City, but still remains perfectly tucked away. With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and creative vegan and non-vegan fare, Oasis has something for everyone. If you visit for brunch (you should), we recommend their huevos rancheros, which can be served vegan with tempeh or tofu."

"Mark this down as one of the truly unique concepts at any of the breweries in Salt Lake City. Grid City has three core beers – a cream ale, a pale ale, and a brown ale. Nothing truly unique about that, right?"

"Healthy dining is the word, as All Chay serves exclusively vegan Vietnamese cuisine, including noodle dishes, banh mi sandwiches, and fresh rice paper rolls offered at affordable prices. Dine in the restaurant or take out delicious appetizers, including All Chay and Veggie Eggroll, noodle soups, spring, summer, autumn and winter rolls, fresh salads, rice dishes, and tasty banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches). The menu is rounded off with desserts, coffee, tea, or carrot juice."

"If “Chay” means great, then it’s “All” they deliver (ok, actually chay means vegan, but you get the gist). This spot is located northwest of downtown Salt Lake City but at the center of our herbivore hearts. Vietnamese food is all about bold and fresh flavors."

"The International Peace Gardens are a public botanical garden facility within Salt Lake City's Jordan Park, originally designed in 1939 and opened in 1952. The garden is operated by the Salt Lake Council of Women's Past Presidents Council and spans 11 acres along the banks of the Jordan River, meant to symbolize the spirit of world peace, democracy, and brotherly love. 28 nationality gardens showcase Utah's diverse ethnic and cultural populations, with garden sections representing countries throughout the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe."

"The diverse cultures that have contributed to Salt Lake City's character through the years are honored in this park, which lies along the Jordan River. Visitors will enjoy the quiet atmosphere and the variety of statues, windmills, and gardens that pay tribute to the more than 25 ethnic groups which have settled the Salt Lake area.

"Fewer know of the Jordan River Park at about 10th South along the river. And fewer still know of the International Peace Gardens within this park. These gardens are a lovely space filled with flowers, trees, bushes, statues, and artful installations, each of which are dedicated to a different part of the world."

"Red Butte Garden and Arboretum contain a botanical garden, arboretum, and an amphitheater. Located in the foothills of the Wasatch Range, this scenic botanic garden spreads over 100 acres. Therefore, it is filled with exciting trails for hikers, joggers, and walkers."

"This “secret garden”, on a side street in the middle of town, is one of Salt Lake’s gems. Carved and curated by Mormon bishop and businessman Thomas Battersby Child Jr in the late 1940s, the garden is an arguably unsettling tribute to the man’s life and religion, featuring stone-carved sculptures and engravings portraying Biblical stories and church history. Highlights include a curious Joseph Smith Sphinx, an unflattering self-portrait by Child, a sacrificial altar and random carved body parts strewn here and there.749 East 500 South, +1 801 582 0432, gilgalgarden.org."

"Thomas Child built Gilgal Garden in the mid 1900s as a way “to give physical form to his deep-felt beliefs.” This small garden, tucked away in a non-descript street in the Liberty Wells neighborhood, is a wacky, weird, and yet beautiful place. Strewn across moss-covered hills lay some of the most abstract sculptures of arms, legs, hearts, and verses from the Bible. If you need a break from traffic and screaming kids, spend an hour or so meandering around this unique corner of Salt Lake City and have your eyes and minds opened."

"Gilgal Sculpture Garden was envisioned, designed, and created by Thomas Battersby Child, Jr. in the mid-twentieth century. Tucked in the middle of the block behind houses and businesses, Gilgal Sculpture Garden contains 12 original sculptures and over 70 stones engraved with scriptures, poems, and literary texts. The public is invited to visit the garden seven days a week."

"As you come out of the Temple gate again, it’s worth it to go see the statue of Bingham Young, the man who colonized the Salt Lake area in the mid-19th century and inspired the incredible religious fervor of this city. The statue faces the street and gazes up at the temple’s 200 ft tall spires in the background."

"A Central City gem, the 80-acre Liberty Park is the second-largest public park in Salt Lake. In 1860, the land belonged to Brigham Young, who planted the mulberry, cottonwood, and other trees that make this one of the shadiest parks in the city. The park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as is the Isaac Chase Mill (the oldest commercial building still standing in Utah) on the park grounds."

"Liberty Park covers an impressive 80 acres of land which makes it the largest park in the Salt Lake City area. Due to its size, you can expect a huge range of activities here and you can go walking, hiking, or biking around the green slopes. There are a range of sports and recreation grounds here such as basketball courts and volleyball nets, as well as a swimming pool."
