Holiday Dining in Manitou Provides a Variety of Culinary Options

Holiday shopping is not for the faint of heart, but shopping in Manitou Springs provides a delicious opportunity to fuel up before you get back into the fray. From French to fondue to fajitas, over 20 restaurants, cafés and eateries offer something to please even the most discriminating palate.

The Mona Lisa boasts gourmet fondue meals or a sweet escape with chocolate fondue and wine in the Wine Cellar and The Loop has won awards for their margaritas and Mexican cuisine. You won’t want to miss Adam’s Mountain Café’s organic menu or their new location in the historic Spa building. For breakfast, make it an artichoke and feta scramble at the Spice of Life or mouthwatering crepes at the European Café. And dinner is deliciously satisfying whether it’s a buffalo steak at the Stagecoach or nouvelle cuisine at the 4-diamond AAA-rated Cliff House. These are just a few of the choices available to you. Good food in historic settings provide that which is pleasing to the palate and to the eye.

Whether you just need a pick-me-up or a four-course meal, the breadth of choices are characteristic of Manitou Springs: a one-of-a-kind place where history, nature and art come together. Go to 80829.com to download coupons from Manitou Springs restaurants and save your receipts; $75 worth will garner a free companion lift ticket to Monarch Mountain Ski Resort. Casual or fine, Manitou Springs has the dining choice that’s right for you.

It is the purpose of the Central Manitou Springs Business Improvement District to be a strong collaboration of business, government and community. Merchants in the district work together to insure a long-term goal of a clean, safe, vibrant visitor destination area reflective of its historic heritage that is attractive and welcoming to both visitors and residents, and contributes to the economic prosperity of Manitou Springs.
