Judy & I had the pleasure of dinning at the new Courchevel Bistro in Old Town yesterday evening. It is the newest Talisker Club downtown dining and gathering experience. Named for Park City’s sister city in the French Alps. Courchevel is situated within the historic Coal & Lumber building on lower Main Street. And let me tell you we had an awesome dinner! Courchevel Bistro presents artfully crafted inventive European-French insured with only the freshest local ingredients. Imagine the new age cooking of the northern French Alps in wintertime to the Mediterranean Riviera region in the summers—with Utah’s four seasons matching the origins perfectly.

No, we do not work for Talisker, nor do we have any affiliation with them, I just felt compelled to let you know about this wonderful new restaurant in Park City. I was “blown away” by the food and service or I wouldn’t be writing this - by the way I spent my previous life (40 years) in food and beverage management. We had the opportunity to meet with Mike Canzano (Talisker Real Estate), who was checking in on guest and members of Talisker, as well as a chance to speak with the Executive Chef, Clement Gelas and hear his excitement of sharing culinary influences from his home country of France and the Rhone Valley. I have always enjoyed and appreciated when the Chef “works” the dining room meeting customers and explaining his thoughts behind the dishes his staff prepares - he certainly is passionate about his food and it shows.

I had the Slow Roasted Rack Of Pork after enjoying Corn Bisque and Judy had the Arctic Char Meuniere after almost licking the bowl of Risotto De Crozetes. We look forward to going back and exploring other menus items and I highly recommend you do the same! The restaurant is also open to the public. Oh yes, I almost forgot, try the Dark Chocolate with Charteuse and Fresh fruit for dessert!

Happy 4th of July! Ramon and Judy
