I visited a new hot lunch spot in Park City, apparently the word is not out yet about it, but I’m sure it soon will be. Local Chef, Kristin Dumas, with the help of her husband James, who has experience at Goldener Hirsch, Ticino, and other local fine dining restaurants, opened Silver Star Market & Cafe with a new offering for Park City. A small version of Tony Caputos or Carlucci’s (Salt Lake favorites), Silver Star Market & Cafe offers specialty cheeses and meats, desserts, and other items for purchase in addition to their served food. A few items on the menu worth taking note of: Grilled Cheese with Tallegio cheese (a fruity dessert cheese), Tyrolean ham and sun dried cherries on sourdough, Roasted Tomato & Garlic Burger, Euro Baguette, and a large selection of Artisan Pizzas made in their brick oven. Their special when I went was a lobster roll. Don’t leave without checking out their 1938 vintage mixer, the huge red piece of machinery in the middle of their kitchen, which they use to make all of their homemade doughs for pizza and breads. They also serve breakfast including, Sourdough Waffles, Miner’s Breakfast Sandwich, Pastries, and Cafe Ibis coffee. Their prices aren’t too bad either, especially for Park City. My Grilled Cheese was only $7 and came with a side salad. For dessert you must try the Peppermint Brownie, a creamy yet chunky brownie, that will leave you with a flavor you won’t soon forget.
Silver Star Market & Cafe is located slopeside to Park City Mountain Resort, by the Silver Star lift and Silver Star condominiums. I hope this entices you to come experience this new side of Park City that you may not have visited previously.
And I couldn’t help myself…here are some photos of the yummy peppermint bronies and other goodies you can buy.

First off, I love your blog, kudos. Second, I find myself surprised (and a bit ashamed) by the fact that I’ve never been to Park City. And I’ve lived here basically all my life. You make it sound wonderful; it’s now officially on my to-do list. Keep it up!
Looks like a great place! I will have to go to PC soon!
You have to come to Park City..so many culinary delights! Starting in April there will be a lot of the restaurants offering 2 for 1 coupons for dinner! But for now, you should plan a ski day at PCMR and hit up Silver Star Market & Cafe
I love Silver Star I always head in when I am in Park City nice review.
Actually the chef / general manager responsible for this tucked away treasure is James’ wife- Kristin- It’s her baby from the fresh baked scones to the thin hearth baked pizza- the twix-bar shortbread cookie is a must!
Thanks for the info on Kristin Dumas! I made that change in the copy!
i am just back from park city and found myself drawn back to the silver star several times. as mentioned, the pizza was fabulous, freshly kneaded and baked to order, and the toppings – my favorite was the fresh cut buffalo mozzerella, imported parma ham and pile of fresh arugula leaves- were just wonderful. it is a perfect meeting spot for family during a busy ski day, and such a welcome relief from what was available in the rest of the ski area. there was a nice homey feel to the cafe, a good mix of vacationing families and also many locals. i was told that there would be more outdoor seating coming to meet the lunchtime crowds (a large group of park city resort guides were there one day enjoying the easter sunshine) so i suspect word is quickly getting out about this little jewel.
