Winter Park, CO Family Friendly Restaurants
Cheeky Monk Belgian Beer Cafe 130 Parry Peak WayBase Village•Winter Park, CO •970-726-6871 From its name, this outpost of a Denver bar and restaurant but not sound kid friendly, but the typical children's menu awaits young diners. Kids might also like the baked pretzels on the appetizer list. Meanwhile, you'll be trying to decide which of the 50 Belgian brews, many on draft, might go best with your mussels and fries or bangers and mash (the menu suggests pairings if you prefer to play it safe). Save room for the chocolate-orange fondue or fresh-made beignets. |
Goodys 100 Parry Peak WayBase Village•Winter Park, CO •970-726-2030 Sweet tooths, beware: Goodys serves up decadent crepes, all-natural ice cream, Italian soda, and cookies. It's the kind of place you'll find hard to pass by ⦠and the kids will love you for not doing so. Seating is limited to a few booths and an old-fashioned-style soda fountain. |
Hernando's Pizza and Pasta Pub 78199 U.S. Highway. 40•Winter Park, CO •970-726-5409 For more than 40 years, Hernando's has been filling bellies with hearty and traditional Italian fare. It's the quintessential family ski-area restaurant, with wooden tables and benches, a fireplace in the middle, and a casual, friendly vibe. If your kids are bored, have them start counting the dollar bills that line the walls (more than $20,000). |
Mirasol Cantina 78415 U.S. Highway 40•Winter Park, CO •970-726-0280 This simply furnished restaurant does pretty much one thing, and does it really well: tacos. They're far from the standard "taco night" family special. Think Mediterranean roasted lamb tacos, chipotle-barbecued pork tacos, ahi tuna ceviche tacos, even spicy tofu tacos. If your kids crave more traditional fare, shredded beef and shredded chicken options are available. Garnish your tacos at the toppings bar, which includes delicious homemade salsas. |
Smokin' Moe's Ribhouse and Saloon 78930 U.S. Highway 40Cooper Creek Square•Winter Park, CO •970-726-4600 A Winter Park mainstay, this cozy Oklahoma-style barbecue joint smokes its meats with hickory. If you're looking for a no-fuss, varied menu (heavy on the meat, of course, but vegetarians have a few options) and a setting where other diners won't give you the stink eye if your kids are loud, Moe's could be just the place. |
