Dining in Durango is an experience for the senses, and offers the visitor a glimpse into the unique allure of this mountain town. The area offers something for every appetite: from down to earth eateries, cafés and brewpubs to sophisticated and award-winning dining, our culinary offerings truly reflect the richness, creativity and diversity of the area.
Many of our restaurants take advantage of locally grown products such as beef, fish, and wild game, as well as honey, jams, spices, cheeses and chocolate, to bring you innovative dishes and desserts reflective of the southwest.
Fun Fact: The downtown Durango area has almost as many restaurants per capita as San Francisco, the restaurant capital of the western United States!
Durango is home to a plethora of special events revolving around our appreciation of good local food and drink. Some of the annual events include Taste of Durango, the Durango Farmer’s Market, San Juan Brew Fest, and wine festivals.
