This restaurant becomes celeb central when the festival kicks off, but Chef Michael LeClerc makes tasty fusion seafood year-round. He's known for his devotion to organic and sustainably farmed ingredients; look for inspired dishes such as the scallop-and-crab seviche and the tower of ahi and hamachi with pineapple shoyu. The place has a L.A.-meets-Utah air to it, but because even the glitterati tend to dress down in Park City, the staff—wary of not recognizing someone important ("Is that Harvey? He's slimmed down!")—tends to treat everyone who walks through the door like a somebody.

Open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 6 pm. Call ahead for hours during April and May.

Among Park City's ski resorts, Deer Valley is known to have the best dining, but chef Joe Trevino of the Canyons' restaurant is attempting to shift the balance. The contemporary, log-cabin-styled room is punctuated with mountain scenes hewn from wrought iron—a great backdrop for innovative, Western-influenced comfort food. Trevino melds Israeli couscous with pecorino romano, lobster, and truffles for a spin on mac and cheese; tops a mixture of mâche and endive greens with Point Reyes blue cheese and Chambord dressing; pairs buffalo tenderloin with a side of cheddar and leek gratin; and stuffs local trout with leeks and mushrooms, fries it tempura-style, and tops it with a dollop of caviar rémoulade. The result is as sinful as anything you're likely to find in Utah.

Open daily 7 am to 2:30 pm and 5 to 9 pm.

Leave dinner to the upscale joints; the purpose of this unpretentious Main Street family restaurant is to jam you full of breakfast, especially on that fateful morning when you discover that drinking at high altitude brings on particularly agonizing hangovers. On such days it's the little things that make life bearable, like the carafe of coffee and endless homemade bread included in every meal.

This Mexican food joint sits in a nondescript strip mall, but the location has two bonuses: First, you'll actually meet a legendary but rarely sighted Park City local, and secondly, you'll find respite from Main Street's $30-plus entrées. Even L.A. transplants agree that the piquant Mexican dishes are excellent; order the particularly tasty mole when it's available, and on chilly winter days, the spicy posole (hominy with tomato and pork) goes down warm and delicious.

Glitretind (say that fast five times in a row) is Park City's culinary totem: It has the most imaginative fare around, and visitors vie for seats, so make reservations when you book your hotel room. Located inside the Stein Eriksen Lodge, it turns out pricey specials like Alaskan loin of caribou with a sweet shallot tart and Niman Ranch pork osso buco. If you're a particularly high-roller, throw your weight around to get one of the fireside tables—it'll impress the chairlift companion you asked to dinner.

Open daily 7 am to 3 pm and 6 to 10 pm.

Owned by Robert Redford's Sundance Corporation, Zoom offers arguably healthier fare, made of fresher ingredients, than any of its Main Street competitors. Expect L.A. touches, such as a Thai barbecue shrimp garnished with mango confetti alongside the Utah-centric steak. Faded photos of the Sundance Kid decorate the walls—and don't be surprised to see the real deal stop by himself.

Open Tuesdays through Saturdays 11:30 am to 2:30 pm and 5 to 9 pm.
