Bosq Restaurant - Aspen, Colorado

Naomi S.

My partner and I have dined here several times and it’s always been a 10/10 magical experience! The dinner service is artfully crafted from start to finish, in an elegant yet warm homey atmosphere that supports connection and conversation. The attention to detail is immaculate, right down to the personalized note from the Chef’s wife welcoming me to Bosq!
I highly recommend the 7 or 9 course tasting menu. Even though the first few courses seem small at first, the dishes are all portioned in such a way that by the time we reached desert I was stuffed! Every dish is so unique and bursting with flavor, the duck liver mousse and Colorado potatoes are to die for, but the star of the show is their bread! If you’re looking for the fully immersive experience, definitely get the wine pairings. Each wine is expertly paired with each dish, and the sommelier showcases some truly unique wines that I would never encounter anywhere else.
The cocktails are crafted with just as much care and creativity as the food, echoing some of the unique umami, fermented, and forest foraged flavors that are a hallmark of their cuisine. The bar tender is so friendly, handsome, and knowledgeable, and always takes excellent care of me. Bosq’s friendly staff and regular clientele makes this place feel like the “Cheers” of Michelin star fine dining!

A quick thank you Bosq staff, from myself and my lovely partner, who had the pleasure of dining there last weekend. We were curious what the word "Michelin" would translate to in a ski resort and were pleasantly surprised to find it's meaning was alive and well in your restaurant.

Everything we ate was "eye-rolling" delicious, but I personally want anyone who might read this to know that the artichoke dish is a Must. Not as a dish you share with your tablemates, but as a dish everyone should enjoy. My partner wanted to make sure that I also bragged about the Waygu dish, so also know that you'll be mad if you don't try it.

The service and atmosphere was also exceptional - the staff was very informed about the menu and the history of the restaurant, and somehow were perfect on my and my partner's course selections. One thing I particularly enjoyed was that I didn't need to raise my voice to have a conversation - that isn't always the case in small establishments. The butterscotch dessert [when is the last time you've had a good butterscotch Anything] was a perfect size and end to an excellent evening. Lastly, the sommelier, like everything else, was informative while also being unobtrusive, which is not always the case...

Thank you again Bosq for a wonderful ending to a superb day - in short, this is why we ski Aspen instead of somewhere else...

Bosq: A Michelin-Starred Jewel That Deserves Three

Tucked into the heart of Aspen, Colorado, Bosq is more than just a dining destination—it’s a sensory experience, a love letter to the land, and a masterclass in modern, sustainable cuisine. Led by the visionary Chef Barclay Dodge, this one-Michelin-starred restaurant sets a new standard for what fine dining should be. But make no mistake—Bosq is worthy of three stars.

Chef Barclay’s culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in foraging, sustainability, and an obsessive commitment to pristine ingredients. Every dish tells a story, inspired by the seasons, the mountains, and the global flavors he has mastered throughout his career. Ingredients are meticulously sourced, often hand-foraged from the wild, and handled with an artistry that transforms them into pure alchemy on the plate.

Expect bold yet elegant flavors, with fire, smoke, and fermentation often playing a role in the composition. The menu is ever-changing, dictated by nature rather than trends, making each visit an entirely new journey.

Beyond the kitchen, Bosq delivers hospitality at the highest level. Every member of the team exudes a passion for their craft, providing polished yet warm service that makes guests feel both at ease and utterly indulged. The intimate dining room creates a personal connection to the experience, while the impeccable wine pairings and cocktail program add yet another layer of excellence.

For those who seek an unforgettable dining experience in Aspen, Bosq is not just a recommendation—it’s a must. Michelin may have awarded it one star, but anyone who has dined here knows that Bosq is operating at a three-star level. If there were ever a restaurant poised for greater recognition, this is it.

Our dinner at Bosq was outstanding! The staff are warm and welcoming, and very professional. Molly's personal note made us feel special as soon as we sat down. And then there is the food! Every course was interesting and delightful. Looking forward to another visit.

I'm finally writing a review from my visit here back in October 2023. To this day, I still ponder on the multitude of dishes I was able to taste during my experience here, and it was that, an experience. This was my first Michelin star restaurant and I was a bit nervous about proper etiquette and being allowed to take photos of the food and wine labels. I was quickly put at ease by the wait staff that let me know phone eats first is highly encouraged so that you can share your experience with others. I'll do no justice explaining the dishes I got to try but will simply say everything was amazing. If in Aspen you should definitely make reservations to try this wonderful dining experience. I'd suggest the chefs selection tasting menu with the wine pairings.

It has taken awhile for me to write this review, because when you have such an unforgettable meal you sometimes need to take a step back and mull on how to describe it. My wife and I have been to over a dozen Michelin star restaurants or of similar quality all over the world. Europe, South America, and North America. After naming a number of memorable meals we concluded that this was a top 3 experience, and potentially the best wine pairing we’ve ever had. The dinner was creative, the pacing fantastic, and the sommelier did a masterful job with the pairing and was very engaging. The reviews dissuaded us from trying this place for years and all I can say is we need to make up for lost time. We consider this easily the best restaurant in Aspen, and likely tied with Beckon as the best restaurant in Colorado. Do yourself a favor and visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Service and atmosphere are good. Food-wise, I have to criticize the portion. It’s outrageous to spend $300 (per person) and ended up hungry (the empanadas next door is amazing btw). Disappointed. (The photo is there ny strip under the sweet potato chips and it’s their main course. Please show the oz next time 🙂 )

Very excited to go here at the end of last ski season. Menu looked interesting, making creative use of local ingredients with inspired presentations. Photos reflect that, but the flavors didn’t quite pop the way I had expected. Some greens were a bit bland. Lobster a bit on tough side. My opinion on that may have been skewed as bias just had fresh lobster in Maine. Overall still an excellent meal, but I was expecting more. Caviar bump was well worth the extra. My favorite dish. Wine pairings were all great and service flawless.
