Food Bistro Toujours

The Scene
Tucked away in the elegant Chateaux condominium hotel, this had-to-be-French restaurant provides a unique dining option for those skiing Deer Valley or doing business in Park City. Upscale but casual with white linens, copper salt-and-pepper shakers and cast-iron serving ware, it's a seductive place for a romantic dinner.

The Food
Traditional bistro cuisine with contemporary touches includes specialties from the wood-burning oven like slow-roasted herb chicken and braised lamb shanks in addition to pastas, soups and salads. Signature dishes inspired by classic French preparation include seared foie gras and escargots. The mussel and saffron "cappuccino" is delightful; the seared foie gras served on a diver scallop is decadent. The cassoulet toulousain with white bean, duck confit, bacon, lamb-garlic sausage, tomato and thyme will transport you to Provence. Leave room for crème brûlée or gâteau au chocolat.
