The Butcher & The Baker
CAFE
$$
( 970-728-3334; 217 E Colorado Ave; mains $10-14; 7am-7pm Mon-Sat, 8am-2pm Sun; )
Two vet-
erans of upscale local catering started this heartbreakingly cute cafe, and no one beats it
for breakfast. Hearty sandwiches with local meats are the perfect takeout for the trail and
there are heaps of baked goods and fresh sides.
Brown Dog Pizza
( 970-728-8046;

;
10 E Colorado Ave; pizzas $10-22; 11am-10pm)
The pizza? It's
thin crust and fair enough, but the crowd makes the place interesting. Ten minutes after
you belly up to the bar for a slice and a cheap pint of Pabst, you'll be privy to all the local
dirt. It's one of the most affordable meals on the strip.

(

; 200 W Colorado Ave; cheese plates $12-15; 11am-6pm Mon-Tue, 10am-7pm
Wed-Sat, noon-5pm Sun)
Over the alleyway, this gourmet wine and cheese shop would be a
boon to Wallace and Gromit. Cheeses are organized by country of origin, plus it offers fig
confit, truffled honey and charcuterie. Sure, it's not without pretension, but its few tables
offer travelers the pleasure of fine wines by the glass alongside some exotic cheeses.
Oak
( 970-728-3985;
www.oakstelluride.com
; 250 San Juan Ave; mains $10-15; 11am-10pm; )
You can pick
something off the chalkboard or just take what the other guy has his face in - a cheap and
messy delight. Go for the pulled-pork sandwich with coleslaw on top. Do it right by siding
it with a bowl of crispy sweet-potato fries. The can beer specials are outrageous.
