  • The Best of NileGuide
  • Looking for surf-and-turf, sushi, Thai, Indian, contemporary American, brew pub fare, Italian, Middle Eastern or pretty much any other type of cuisine Believe it or not, Salt Lake City's restaurants are as diverse and award-winning as in any major city. But the price tag is generally much, much less than at comparable restaurants in New York or San Francisco.

    Most people wouldn't expect to find great cuisine this great in the Rocky Mountains- but Salt Lake's major airport, its financial well-being, and its surprisingly diverse population all contribute to a thriving restaurant scene that provides any kind of meal imaginable for a totally reasonable price. From diner and taco stand to seafood grills and steakhouses, the restaurants offer a wide price, atmosphere, and formality range to fit anyone's desires.

    Given all these options, Salt Lake City's locals still have preferences. Use this list to help locate the city's favorites.
