Bosq Restaurant

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.

Delicious food. Even the simplest things like the sourdough with butter were mind blowing. I wished the portions were slightly bigger because I just wanted to live in each moment longer. Wonderfully wintery flavors from spiced pumpkin breads and consumes. Each plate was a beautiful work of art to look at as well. Service was a bit slow and scattered at first but really not a big deal.

What a phenomenal experience. The tasting menu had wonderful choices, and the presentation was on point. I would not hesitate to enjoy a truly unique meal here again. Food was local sourced and brilliantly prepared. The staff love what they do and are eager to please.

I don’t have enough words to express how delicious and top notch the food is here. The bison was DELICIOUS, reminded me of ceviche de soya but 5x tastier. The oxtail mole is a must have, from the presentation to the taste, it was a 10. The mole was on the sweeter side, but it’s so perfectly balanced that I seriously wanted to lick the dish! I’m from Oaxaca and the mole I grew up with is based out of more dark chile chilhuacle and tastes slightly bold, I’ve always preferred Poblano style mole, not sure if this was the case but it was delicious! The staff were so kind and knowledgeable of the menu and made sure all our needs were met, Tyler and a guy from Ukraine were just fenomenal. Can’t wait to return!

Outstanding meal. Definitely a must try if you are a foodie. We did the 5 course meal and you get to choose your 5 dishes. Was the perfect amount of food. Highlights include the squash flower for appetizers, duck and sea scallops for main dishes. Service was excellent and even brought us extra bread when we asked. Also this restaurant is the only chef-owned restaurant in Aspen! Highly recommend!

Exceptional dining experience! Intimate atmosphere with excellent service. Best food I’ve ever had. You have to do the chef tasting menu to get the full experience.

A MUST for foodies while in Aspen, CO. Chef prepares beautiful presentations/tastings a La carte (4 courses or more) which was fun for the 4 of us - 2 of us had dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegan) but there was something superb for everyone’s taste buds. Excellent wine list along with a delightful choice of creative and delicious non alcohol or low alcohol cocktails. An extravaganza of eclectic courses including caviar, elk, scallop, squash blossom, wagyu beef, elk, and more. Wow! High end service created an impeccable dining experience.

A must try fine dining experience in Aspen. If I were the Michelin, I would give Bosq 2 stars without hesitation. The food is superb and the service us outstanding. The highlights for me on the menu were the lobster and the peach dessert. The lobster was cook to perfection e, and the dish was as good as, if not better than the ones I had in some Michelin 3-star restaurants. I will finitely come back to Aspen soon, just to dine again at Bosq.

Outstanding service. Our glasses were always filled up and the table was often cleaned.
Great food presentation. We were worried about the portion might be small. But we ended up eating full. Our favorites are duck 2.0, scallop, and the lobster.

Things that could be better:
I wish they can offer toilet seat cover in the bathroom
The suggested tips seem to be calculated based on after-tax price, which feels not right.

Best. Experience. In Aspen. Came back for another round this year. Musts - Reserve seats at bar, have an open mind, let Daniel, Nick and company do the rest. The creativity and professionalism of the talented team here is world class. I say that as someone who has been blessed to travel all over and eat at some of the world's best restaurants. My favorites - the lamb tartare, mushrooms, lobster and duck. The caviar dish was also amazing. Do yourself a favor and get the wine pairings. Nick is excellent at pairing and seeks out some unique options. I know it may not be for everyone, but if you appreciate creativity and dedication to craft then you will absolutely love Bosq.

True fine dinning, Michelin star experience. Highly recommend!

An absolutely stellar experience! We cannot recommend Bosq highly enough. We have dined at Michelin-starred restaurants in London, Paris, Lyon, Los Angeles, Napa, Chicago… and we cannot recall ever having had a better meal. We enjoyed the five-course tasting menu, and found each course delicious, creative, interesting, and beautifully plated. Not only did Chef Barclay and the kitchen over-perform, but the wait staff and sommelier were warm, friendly, professional, and deft. Do not miss this Aspen gem!

I’ve always been skeptical about Michelin-star restaurants, often finding them overrated. But my recent dining experience at Bosq in Aspen has completely turned my perspective around. It was nothing short of stunning.

The menu, at first glance, seemed simple, but each dish was a masterpiece of flavors and creativity. The crispy onion, deer bark, duck, and lobster - each bite was a delightful surprise, exceeding any expectations. It’s rare to find a place where the food not only satisfies your taste buds but also leaves you in awe, and Bosq does just that.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around how incredible the food was. To think that Bosq has only been rated one star is a travesty; it undoubtedly deserves at least two. Their culinary artistry is on a different level, and anyone visiting Aspen should make it a point to dine here. This isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that you will cherish. Bosq, you’ve earned a fan for life!

Definitely deserving of their Michelin star! The entire staff is so friendly and welcoming. Our server, Hannah, was awesome. It kinda felt like she was part of our group at the end. The food was delicious. It wasn’t a lot of food, but the ingredients and the seasonings were so unique and unexpected that it made very course fantastic.

Service was great. The food was incredible. The only thing they should improve in is their wine list it’s not very big and they should have a wider selection for the amazing food.

Amazing first dinner in Aspen! The food was incredible, unique pairings and courses. We enjoyed the Forest Broth (incredible, I wanted more), beef tartare, lobster, the wagyu (worth it), scallops. All were wonderful. The duck was another item we ordered we might pass on in the future, but by the time it came we were also stuffed, so that could have contributed. We did the 5 courses and it was plenty. Nice atmosphere, where its a small setting but it isn't noisy. Definitely worth the price and we cannot wait to go back!

Spectacular! Every dish was creative and delicious, quantities were just right enough to finish the dinner highly satisfied and without any heaviness, the selection of wine was really outstanding. Worth more one a Michelin star!

We loved it here! Our favorite was the service and ability to pick and choose your tasting menu if desired. Super rare to see that. I wish I could remember our server’s name because he made it an even better experience. Had a fantastic bottle of wine recommended by the somm. Our favorites were the duck liver mousse, the wagyu, and duck breast.

My husband and I celebrated my birthday at Bosq. What a magical experience. The food is everything you’d expect from a Michelin restaurant. The entire staff went out of their way to make us feel special. So glad we made the trip from Denver, this place is worth the drive!

My fiancée and I have been making our rounds of some Michelin Star restaurants the past few months, and we agree this is our favorite thus far—with stiff competition from some perennial 3-star restaurants! Chef Barclay makes his way to each table to ensure everyone is enjoying their meals, and even personally delivered a birthday gift to me from my fiancée just before the sweet courses. This was truly a night I’ll never forget, as the staff made us feel so welcome and pulled out all the stops for my special day. Thank you all!
