Ajax Tavern - Best Outdoor Dining

Ajax Tavern Logo

Located at the base of Aspen Mountain, the sun-drenched, mountainside patio is the idyllic place for lunch, apres ski and dinner —our restaurant comes to life at lunch and sizzles into the night year around.

Our restaurant offers some of the best dining in Aspen, crafting distinctive bistro fare inspired by Colorado's bounty of sustainably raised meats and locally-grown seasonal produce, so you are guaranteed only the freshest and best. Our chef's innovative dishes include Colorado Lamb Bolognese, Crispy Kurobuta Pork Belly, Grass Fed Beef Tartare, Chanterelle & Leek Quiche and signature selections such as The Ajax Double Cheeseburger and Truffle Fries. For lighter fare, try our Pristine Raw Bar selections which features fresh oysters, shrimp and crab.

Cocktail hour brings out our abundant selection of fine wines and aperitifs, as well as an array of signature martinis and microbrews.

Ajax Tavern is currently open from 11:30 am to 9 pm. For dinner reservations, please call (970) 920-6334. Lunch seating is on a first come, first served basis. We look forward to serving you with the quality and experience you've come to expect from The Little Nell. The executive chef at Ajax Tavern is Allison Jenkins.
