Bosq

Everything was perfect!! We were so lucky to get last minute reservations during the Aspen Food and Wine Fest this year, and they accommodated us amazingly. The weather was nice and their patio had an insane view at sunset.The food was to die for, I wish I could go back now! And the service, well. My husband had too many drinks nearby and with the altitude, he did not feel well enough to enjoy everything properly. We asked them what we could do and they boxed everything up for just him considering, and they were so kind and understanding about it!! Can't wait for the chance to go back!

* The one and only Michelin star restaurant in Aspen, well deserved* A foodie's paradise for high end fine dining and wine* Food Artistry focused on locavore foraging, farming and fermentation * 9+ course Chef Menu $255++ pp or 5 courses for $185++ pp* Amazing staff* Reservations with guarantee on Tock* A wine list and custom wine matched flights that are first rateAfter several visits over four years along with visits to every fine dining venue in Aspen we conclude that Bosq has no rivals. Such was the judgement of Michelin as well. The food here takes you on a culinary journey showcasing Chef Dodge's love of foraging, as he is an expert on the native plants, flowers and fungi of the region. He started gathering mushrooms in the Elk Mountains back in 1997 after igniting a passion for cooking as a teenager in Aspen. Bosq is named after the Spanish name for Woodlands. His love for the culinary arts lead him to work with Ferran Adria and Jose Andres at El Bulli, arguable one of the finest and most unique restaurants in the world before its closure. Not content to rest on his laurels, Chef Dodge travels with some of his staff during the off season to dine in and learn from some of the finest restaurants in the world.The hotel dining venues in town and many others cannot compete with the food quality of a family-owned business with only around 30 seats focused solely on their guest's satisfaction. You feel like part of the family after your first visit. Vegetarians and Vegans can feel like they are first class citizens as well, as Bosq will provide great options.The small kitchen, Sous Chefs and staff punch way above their weight, dry aging duck, grilling lobster over juniper branches and avoiding the sous vide mania of many other Michelin eateries. The menu is unique, you will not find any of the dishes in Aspen or elsewhere. The wine list has a broad and deep selection of Old-World wines as well as some notable New World selections. The Somm staff are knowledgeable, engaging and passionate. I can't say enough about the staff that connects with every customer with a smile, enthusiasm for their work and a commitment to please and make you yearn to return. Kudos to the best fine dining restaurant in Aspen.

We came in for Valentine's Day unsure of what we were going to get. Reviews seem polarizing, but I will note most of the bad ones are from years ago. We've had such excellent Michelin starred dining experiences in Colorado, especially Beckon, that we had high expectations. Bosq blew all four of our minds. My husband did the fine and rare wine pairing, I did the somms pairing. We added on wagyu and caviar supplements. Starting with the wine, the Somm was one of the best we ever had. Super knowledgeable and hands down our best wine pairing ever. Only one dish was slightly off for us (the kumquat threw off his wine choice), but the rest of the dish was perfect with it and we were beyond impressed overall. Each dish was amazing, the flavors worked and you can tell the staff and chef put so much time in their off season tasting and melding flavors to create these dishes. Creative, delicious, and a great time. Service was lovely, someone was always nearby. We had special caviar bumps for Valentine's Day. We'll be back!!!

I wanted to love this place a lot more than I did. It has a lot of hype because of the Michelin star, but we had much better meals in other restaurants in the area. The service could've been better, it took forever to get our drinks, and even though I had put dietary restrictions in the reservation, they did not know about them ahead of time. Everything seemed to have an up charge on top of the very high price for the several course meal.

Barclay Dodge is brilliant with his creations made from the freshest ingredients he gathers and forages daily. I've been to several Michelin Star restaurants and Bosq is by far my favorite. Food, service, drinks...unbeatable.

Wow!! This definitely makes one of my top 5 dining experiences, specifically from a foodie perspective. Me and two friends visited while on a vacation in town. We made reservations for 8 on a Sunday, so it was very chill and slow when we arrived. The spot itself is located in the shopping square in the middle of town. Perfect for people watching & sitting on the patio, especially during sunset and lovely weather. The inside is VERY small! A few scattered tables with most of their space being on the outside patio. They do have heaters and curtains/sun shade if you're looking to sit outdoors. We were so impressed with service! We got there about 30 mins early and cozied up on the outdoor couch near the fireplace for a bottle of champagne and cocktails (great selection btw)Once our table was ready, we decided to do the 5-course "Chef, Feed Me" tasting menu. You can critter choose your own tasting menu or have the pre-selected, rotating menu of options. I loved the ability to say, "Chef, Feed me!!!!" And not have to make a single decision All I can say is WOW!!! We decided to add on the two supplement courses, totaling to 7 courses. Every single thing that went into my mouth was phenomenal. If you decide to do the tasting menu, come hungry!!!! While they are very much presentation portions, everything I ate was so rich & decadent! I felt completely engorged by the end of it (but worth it) My absolute favorites were the Cai

We decided last-minute to have a Michelin experience in Aspen. It's a slow week for Aspen so we got a reservation the day of. Is the food good? Yes. Is the food and experience worth it or up to Michelin par? Debatable.While we had commendable service and felt that some of the dishes were good, some of the dishes were uninspiring and I had no idea why I was tasting what I was tasting. Our server only checked-in on our thoughts for two of the nine courses and it did not feel interactive at all. There's only a few tables in the restaurant anyways, so the experience should feel interactive.We had to move tables because the restaurant was freezing, despite having used the blankets that were provided to us upon sitting. A majority of time for the first few courses was spent trying to figure out where the draft (wind) was coming from. We were celebrating a special occasion and were given a candle in one of the dessert courses and a card. A nice touch but nothing special from the chef or anything. Overall I'm thankful to have had a nice dinner with great company, but I'm not certain I'd be able to recommend the restaurant to friends or family. The bill came with 3% kitchen appreciation, and the suggested tip was calculated including this 3%. Total around $1200 for three people including a few cocktails.

I think this is without a doubt the best restaurant in Aspen. Each guest can create their own 5 course tasting menu from an incredible selection. Fresh fruits and vegetables are the star of the show and they complement some amazing proteins. Don't miss the venison bark, wagyu, duck, or butterscotch dessert. Every dish I had was nothing short of spectacular. Very good and reasonable wine list. Their expert staff will help you make decisions. Bosq is clearly an expert chef's vision and they execute it perfectly.

The food was amazing. If you want a great dining experience and excellent service this restaurant is a must! We come here every winter and this was the best meal we have had.

Incredible dining experience. Well deserving of their star. Ambience is intimate and cozy. Staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. Food is inventive and beautifully presented. We look forward to dining with them every time we visit Aspen.
