Nobu Matsuhisa's Vail outpost — the same Japanese-Peruvian cuisine that made Nobu a global phenomenon, in a mountain setting. MICHELIN-recommended and a consistent fine-dining experiences in the valley.
Why It Belongs on the List
Matsuhisa Vail is a Nobu Matsuhisa-owned restaurant (distinct from the Nobu chain) in Vail Village — the same chef who opened the original Nobu in New York and Nobu Malibu, operating under his own name. The Japanese-Peruvian menu of black cod miso, yellowtail jalapeño, and tiradito is executed to the same standard as any Nobu worldwide. MICHELIN Recommended in the Colorado guide. One of Vail's most reliable fine-dining choices when Sweet Basil is fully booked.
