Utah Restaurants By City
-
Salt Lake City
Dining in Salt Lake City has a well-earned reputation for excellence, thanks to its blend of international fare and local specialties from restaurants like Mr. Shabu, Red Iguana, The Copper Onion and more.

Funeral potatoes, fry sauce and pastrami burgers are just a few of Utah's contributions to the culinary world.

Post-fun meals in Moab are an essential part of the adventure.
