Breckenridge is such a hub of outdoor experiences in summer and winter that it is one of the most visited towns in Colorado. Tin Plate Artisan Pizza takes Breckenridge outdoor dining to the next level, with amazing Ten Mile Range views, private dining spaces, and comfortable, chic patio decor. For the full picture of where to eat around town, see our guide to the best restaurants in Breckenridge.
Amazing Views: Breckenridge at Its Finest
Breckenridge Mountain sits to the west of town, which makes Tin Plate an exceptional place to sit for food and cocktails with friends and family. Our west-facing patio offers tremendous views of the Ten Mile Range, named for its ten numbered peaks that run roughly ten miles from north to south. Whether it is winter or summer, the mountain range is a great sight while you dine on the best patio in Breckenridge.
Private Dining: Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
Tin Plate is housed in a restored 138-year-old mining cabin, and we have turned much of it into unique dining spaces. Our upstairs Groves Room has an attached outdoor patio with great mountain views and the privacy of an indoor space, and a full-restaurant buyout can host a larger group indoors. Downstairs is our primary dining room with the best patio in town, available for public dining and, when you want it, private events. To plan a party or a buyout, see our private events page.
Decor: Comfort Matters
Comfort is part of the experience. Teak tabletops, green chairs, cushioned love seats, and bright yellow and white striped umbrellas make the patio a genuinely relaxing place to spend an afternoon in the summer light. It is the kind of outdoor dining that invites you to linger over another cocktail.
Winter Dining: Tough, But Not Impossible
As the season turns, we keep some outdoor seating going with a firepit and Adirondack chairs for front-patio dining in the winter sun. Evening outdoor dining in Breckenridge is often too cold, but there is nothing better than a warm lunch on the patio in your ski gear, fresh off the slopes.
Apres-Ski: The Best Food to Eat Outdoors
So what do you eat on the patio? We suggest starting with our sourdough bread and cultured butter, baked to order with the perfect salty tang. Follow it with our grilled Caesar salad, or go heartier with sliders, braised buffalo, flank steak, or wagyu beef. If it gets cold, ask for a boozy hot chocolate. Tin Plate sits in the historic cabin once home to the town gold assayer who weighed Colorado’s largest gold nugget, Tom’s Baby, at 13 pounds 7 ounces. Come see it for yourself, and start with the Tin Plate menu.
