Silverton, Colorado
Silverton is a tiny town — but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in character. Expect hearty mountain food, craft beer, and the kind of laid-back hospitality you only find in genuinely remote places.
📍 Heads up: Most Silverton restaurants are seasonal (open May–October) and close early in winter. Hours can be limited even in peak season — check ahead, especially if you're arriving on the late train. Don't wait until 8 PM to figure out dinner.
Breakfast & Lunch · Greene Street
The go-to morning spot — excellent espresso, fresh pastries, and breakfast sandwiches. Get there early; locals and train passengers pack it out by 9 AM.
Full Service · Lunch & Dinner
Silverton's most popular full-service restaurant — big burgers, Southwestern dishes, Colorado craft beers, and an interior packed with mining-era memorabilia. Expect a wait in summer.
Bar & Casual Food · Historic
An authentic Old West saloon in a beautifully preserved 1800s building. Cold beer, bar food, local characters, and the best stories you'll hear all trip.
Dinner · Greene Street
Silverton's most refined dining option — steaks, pasta, and Colorado mountain cuisine in a warm Victorian setting. Great for a special night after a day on the trails.
For a full night out — craft breweries, Southwestern cuisine, farm-to-table dining — Durango is just 50 miles south and has a dining scene that punches well above its size.
