Just one block from Aspen Mountain's base, ZIGZAG defies the expected. We've created more than a restaurant⏤it's the home of chalet casual, where culinary ambition meets mountain mystique. Our philosophy blends French chic with mountain edge: take risks, push boundaries, honor technique. At the heart of our kitchen, the town's last wood-burning oven speaks to both heritage and innovation. Each evening unfolds as its own masterpiece, where precision meets playfulness and fine dining finds its edge. Join us at the intersection of bold flavors and alpine allure, as we rewrite the rules of modern mountain cuisine.

We’ve been coming to Brunelleschi’s since they opened and our son was a baby! The owners had the great and wonderful idea to open a family friendly Italian restaurant in Aspen! Little tough finding spots suitable for young kiddos and they made the dream real! Ha! The best food and ambience you’ll find in town. Kids can make their own pizzas! Such a great place for everyone!

Sway is one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever tried. Everything I’ve tried has been outstanding. The Tom Ka Gai soup is amazing and one of my favorite treats. The Veggie Fried Rice, Chicken Pad Thai, and Yams are all delicious as well. The portions are huge and very shareable. Honestly, the Pad Thai could feed at least three people - so, by Aspen standards, everything is economical, as well. To top it off, all the staff is extremely attentive and Daniel, the bartender, is the best. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Aspen restaurants. Highly recommended.
