Where to Eat & Drink

Known for its incredible 180-degree views of the Salt Lake Valley, Cliff House Dining Pub (cliffdiningpub.com) hits all the right notes with its selection of sushi, artisanal beers and craft cocktails. An inexpensive option is the Mexican food and fresh salsa at Donkey Tails Cantina (guadalahonkys.com). Despite its name, Pirate O’s (pirate-os.com) isn’t a specialty store selling eye patches and parrots. It’s an importer of fine and artisanal foods. If you want a stick-to- your-ribs breakfast, try Penny Ann’s Cafe’s legendary flap jacks.
