When it comes to Aspen, CO, you can ski, snowboard, party, whatever your delight, but the one thing everyone on the mountain has in common is that they have to eat. “ZIGZAG”, the French/American bistro near the base of the Burnt Mountains, is not far from the Aspen Art Museum, and has even more beautiful treasures share. (Cept at ZIGZAG, the art is edible). The vibe and environment is as crucial to the feeling and experience as the food is, and literally can not disappoint. The multicultural staff is also a delightful accent to the wide array of dishes and cocktails that can be enjoyed on any given visit. We say go for the snow, stay for the culinary superiority, but their own words state it the best…
