Incredible place, incredible food! We decided to stop at Yampa for brunch during our first time in Steamboat, and wow — what a great choice. Our server, David, was so kind and attentive. We were especially impressed by how well he described the menu items… we ended up ordering everything he recommended and have zero regrets!

The portions are generous, and I highly recommend the pistachio matcha, huevos rancheros (easily enough for two people), veggie omelet, and the star of the show: the chocolate crepe.

Can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu! Also highly recommend checking out their other location, Besame, where we had an incredible dinner experience

YVK, while I’m sure it is stunning for dinner, absolutely rocks as a brunch place. It’s well lit and bright, helping even those with the groggiest of starts get a bit of pep in their step.
They offer an eclectic menu with some unique offerings, which I appreciate them pushing and seeking for just downright good grub.
I ordered the Fernet Mojito along with a London fog. The name Fernet Mojito is no lie, Fernet definitely shines here underscored by the rum, mint, and citrus. It’s a refreshing cocktail, plus it has complexity from the herbal liqueur addition.
The London fog was good, but I personally didn’t appreciate the addition of the rose on top. That was easily fixed, though. I simply plucked it right out (I will note, the menu makes no mention of this addition).
For the meal, I had the Blue Suede Shoes Grilled Cheese. It’s an excellent example of what a grilled cheese can be. Cheese is included, of course, but then blueberry jam, caramelized onions, and thyme are added in. To top it all of (literally), a very generous parmesan crust with melted in jalapeños. I may never make a grilled cheese ever again without a parmesan crust. The jam was good, but it you order this, I recommend ordering more on the side, I could have used more, anyways. Greasy, cheesy, and a delight for brunch.
For the sides I had potatoes and some yuzu pickles. The potatoes are good, nothing to rave about. I personally enjoyed the yuzu pickles. The yuzu wasn’t certainly there. Members of my table didn’t love them because “they’re sweet.” Eh, personal preference with that.
Overall, a terrific brunch experience was had by my party. There was a dirty water glass on our table, hence the slight docking on cleanliness.
If you’re in Steamboat, I’d consider this a must try for breakfast or brunch.

This is the cutest restaurant in steamboat! My family and I sat outside where the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. I got the chicken sandwich with a large portion of fries. I personally didn’t feel the flavors on the sandwich went well together, so it wasn’t my favorite dish. All the other members in my group enjoyed their meals though. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Steamboat!

Such a cute little place! I really enjoyed my wine and appetizer truffle fries. The ambiance and service was really great. I will say my salad was not very filling and was more aesthetic than anything. The salmon was good though! Would definitely go back it was really cute:)

Excellent place with great food. While it has an elegance that would speak to finer dining we found the actual dining accessible and even had small children they were more than happy to accommodate. Good drinks and good food, would definitely eat again

We love this place for brunch and dinner with the fam. Esthetically pleasing interior. When the weather is warm it’s a special treat to seat on a beautiful patio surrounded by bushes, trees and the garden.
Today I had French omelet. I have tried almost everything on the menu and honestly everything is pretty amazing. The team is friendly, the representation of every dish is vibrant. We really hope wagyu steak and eggs will come back on the menu. Green juice does not have any sweet juice adding and we love it. coffee is great. Parking is easy on the street. It’s a quiet neighborhood.
Edit: usually we have brunch here but recently we tried dinner and I was impressed! Everything was delicious! Definitely we’ll be back!

This place has a very fun and unique menu!

I enjoyed trying one of their mocktails ( the orange julia), their pistachio matcha latte and the honey coconut latte !

The food was really good too! We ordered the burgers !

Apart from this the service was wonderful and the atmosphere was great! Like a beautiful garden.

**Yampa Valley Kitchen: A Culinary Gem in Steamboat Springs**

Nestled in the charming town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Yampa Valley Kitchen is a culinary haven that has quickly become the highlight of my dining experiences. Frequenting this delightful restaurant at least once or twice a week all summer long, I can confidently say it offers the freshest and most beautifully presented dishes in town.

Unlike the many other fine dining establishments in Steamboat Springs, which often feature glamorous meat entrées, Yampa Valley Kitchen shines with its focus on fresh ingredients and exquisite presentation. The restaurant boasts lovely outdoor gardens, filled with herbs and flowers that are incorporated into their dishes. These gardens provide a serene and picturesque setting, perfect for a leisurely meal with friends, family, or business associates.

The menu at Yampa Valley Kitchen is diverse and caters to all tastes. For breakfast, their avocado toast is a California dream, while the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon is a must-try. Another standout is the French toast with Foster bananas, which is a delightful treat. Each dish, no matter how simple, is elevated with fresh herbs and vibrant presentation. The freshly mixed vegetable juices are a refreshing complement to any meal, and the selection of teas, served in elegant tea presses, adds a special touch to the dining experience.

Inside, the ambiance is equally inviting. The air-conditioned dining room features charming music, a great bar, and spotless bathrooms. However, my favorite spot remains the outdoor garden, where the beauty of the surroundings enhances the pleasure of the meal.

Dinner at Yampa Valley Kitchen is nothing short of spectacular. The mushroom soup is rich and flavorful, and the salmon is cooked to perfection. One of the absolute highlights is the truffle fries, topped with truffle oil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese—simply the best fries in Steamboat Springs.

What sets Yampa Valley Kitchen apart is not just the quality of the food, but the overall dining experience. The attention to detail in both service and presentation is remarkable. The staff’s dedication to creating fabulous food and a welcoming atmosphere is evident in every aspect of the restaurant.

Yampa Valley Kitchen is truly a special place to eat. It’s my favorite dining spot in Steamboat Springs, and I’m not alone in my admiration. Each visit reaffirms why I keep coming back, and I am always eager to return. My heartfelt thanks to the staff for their exceptional work in making each meal a memorable experience.

TL;DR The food here was so good, we came back for breakfast the next morning.

So, Steamboat is very clearly a “foodie” sort of town, and there are a ton of options to choose from, but I implore you to choose this restaurant over others.

We arrived in the early evening while traveling through Colorado on our honeymoon looking for food, and a comment made by a coworker of mine lead us to look at Yampa Valley Kitchen. Luckily for us, they have apparently only just started doing dinner service in addition to their breakfast.

There is street parking, though we wanted to walk “the main drag” and look at the stores downtown so we parked in the free public parking lot about half a block away.

When you walk up, the first thing you notice about this restaurant is how cute the outdoors area is. The landscaping around the building is very carefully curated and maintained with love, and the sedum growing along the sidewalk towards the entrance is some of the biggest and showiest I’ve ever seen. From the outside it looks simultaneously somewhere between a modern home and a cozy cottage.

The interior I would describe wholly as a “Cottagecore” aesthetic. It was very cute, very cozy, and we walked in within a few minutes of them opening for dinner. We were greeted by Julia, whom I will say had a delightful British accent that only made the cozy cottage feel even more authentic.

We started by splitting a bowl of the soup of the day, which was chicken and mushroom soup with some gruyere toast, which was excellent. Julia did a very detailed description of it, and it sounded so good we couldn’t pass it up. I’m glad we didn’t.

As for dinner, we both opted to go with the waygu steak au poivre with peppercorn sauce and truffle fries. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the sauce was absolutely excellent. I was incredibly surprised to learn that they had only just started doing dinner with how completely and perfectly they nailed it.

I will be very upfront in saying, I don’t generally care for truffle fries. I feel like the majority of them I have had in the past have been drowned in oil and restaurants that do them overdo it to death, relying heavily on that flavor. It was subtle, but present. I ate them all.

This was easily one of the top five best meals that I have ever eaten. I am incredibly glad we came.

We were so impressed with the food and enamored with the atmosphere and Julia’s service that we came back the next morning for breakfast. We had every option in Steamboat available to us, and yet both of us just wanted to come back and experience the breakfast here.

She opted for the bananas foster French toast and I got the California dreamin eggs Benedict. Just as the evening before it was absolutely perfect. Maddie was our server in the morning and was quick and attentive. I also had a great chat about the landscaping with the host, whose name regrettably escapes me this exact moment. Everyone is super friendly, the atmosphere is cherry and cozy and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone going to Steamboat . Thank you all for such a wonderful experience and another great memory to add to our honeymoon trip!

Potentially the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had, cute atmosphere, good truffle fries and the Reuben had a nice twist with kimchi instead of sauerkraut. Nice cute spot!
