One MICHELIN Star
The MICHELIN Guide Colorado 2026, the first statewide MICHELIN Guide for Colorado, was revealed on September 14, 2026. It gave Aspen 1 starred restaurant and 3 Recommended restaurants, and no Bib Gourmand. Every one of them is on this page.
Where a restaurant is a short walk from the downtown shops, we say so.
Bosq · Contemporary · Downtown. Chef Barclay Dodge's tasting-menu restaurant, Aspen's only starred restaurant. Menus are a five-course choose-your-own option or a chef's choice of nine or more courses. 312 S. Mill St., Aspen, CO 81611. Near our Downtown Aspen shops.
Recommended: 3 Restaurants
Recommended restaurants are in the guide without a star or Bib Gourmand. These 3 are on MICHELIN's Aspen listings.
