For those of you, enjoying Sundance from Salt Lake City this year I have a few restaurants recommendations for you. First of all, I think we have so many better and more affordable options for dining here in Salt Lake rather than in Park City, so if you’re movie happens to be in the valley, you’re in luck! Secondly, many of the best restaurants in town are within walking distance from many of the Sundance screening rooms! Here are a list of the theaters in Salt Lake and a few of my recommended restaurants nearby. Local, and traveler alike, I hope you all enjoy our beautiful city over Sundance.

• No Name Saloon, known for their buffalo burgers and draft beer (near Egyptian theater located on Main Street)
• Maxwells Pizza,try their famous ‘fat kid pizza’ with pepperoni, ricotta and spinach (near Redstone theater at Kimball Junction)
Worth the $$ in Park City
• High West Distillery, tasty ‘Cowboy’ fare with award winning whiskey and cocktails (near Main Street and close to the Library Center Theater)
• Reefs, Mediterranean, family owned restaurant (just off of Main Street)
• Shabu, haute Asian cuisine including sushi in a cosy underground restaurant on Main Street

Only thing I think I would have added was for tower theaters is Pago or a little farther away Forage
