Pyramid Bistro - ASPEN

This cute cozy place in Aspen is a must visit spot in Aspen for vegetarians. This restaurant is located on the top of a very cute book store and has all the vibes. The vegetable pot stickers were the main highlight of our dinner. We gobbled them up as soon as they very served. Entree selection was pretty good as well. I felt the price point was a bit high for the food served but over all the experience was very pleasant. I recommend this place!

I was aggressively complimented by my partner for finding this place on yelp: I quote, I 'll never be the one to pick a restaurant for us to go to from here on out. Feeling proud of that. We were intrigued by the diversity of options, and by how balanced and packed they were with nutrients. But walking in was the real experience. So now, imagine walking into a bookstore lined floor to ceiling with shelves, up a rail staircase and past the second floor of books into a charming restaurant terrace and the trees just outside it. Mega delightful

Tucked away on the upper level of the local bookstore, you are instantly greeted with charm and a warm reception by the team. Service was superb and team was happy to answer questions about the menu. Options on the Menu are clearly marked vegan or gluten free. The variety of vegan options to choose from is excellent so be prepared to actually decide on an option vs. simply going with the only one on the menu! As for the food, it was fresh and delightful! Started with a bread service, followed by their gazpacho, and wrapped up with farro risotto. Will be sure to return to try the other options.

Pyramid is behind a book store in Aspen, so can be hard to find. In fact, we went in through the book store, but exited in the back as the book store closed before we finished our meal. It seemed to us that so many restaurants in Aspen seem to have focused on Asian food. Pyramid was along those lines. We began with the vegetarian pot stickers, which come recommended by many on Yelp. They were ok, but I would not order them on a return visit as they did not have much flavor, but no doubt were the healthiest pot stickers we have had. Our wine choices were the Malbec and the Chardonnay. Both were pretty good and reasonably priced. The chicken stir fry was kind of bland and the chicken was dry from overcooking. The duck was very good and recommended, although a bit tough. The best part of the evening was the dessert. A somehow reasonably healthy cobbler that maintained a great taste. Service was attentive and friendly. Our water was consistently refilled without requesting and the waiters worked very well together in coordinating taking care of us.

This little restaurant is tucked away above a bookstore. It's hard to find if you're not actually looking for it-but that's what makes this spot a hidden gem. I came here for an early dinner before heading further towards Carbondale. Like much of the rest of Aspen, the prices of everything are inflated, including food. I love that all the food here is super healthy though. I ordered the Lemongrass Tofu. Suffice to say, as healthy as the food is, the food is a bit bland. I think they can improve this dish significantly by marinating the tofu first, then perhaps air-frying the tofu to give it some more crisp/texture. The portion was quite fair, definitely enough for one person. Their redeeming factor was the kale pesto sauce that came with the complimentary bread! (Oh! They also have gluten free toast! I was very happy about this. The ambiance is certainly very quaint and sweet. It's nice and quiet-I think perfect for a date. I would likely return and perhaps try a different entrée next time.
