Glitretind at Stein Eriksen Lodge
For a brunch experience that matches Deer Valley's overall standard, Glitretind at Stein Eriksen Lodge is in a category by itself. The Sunday brunch buffet features smoked salmon, sushi, fruit, eggs, meats, made-to-order omelets, crepes, and vegetables cooked to perfection each week — with reservations strongly recommended.
What Makes Glitretind Worth the Reservation
- Linen napkins, ski views, roaring fireplaces, and live piano in winter make the Sunday brunch buffet a Park City tradition that goes well beyond the food itself
- The Norwegian potato and bacon pancake is a signature dish that reflects the lodge's Scandinavian heritage and consistently earns mention among the most memorable single dishes in the valley
- The Deer Valley setting makes it a natural pairing with a ski morning or an afternoon at the resort — the proximity to the slopes gives it an atmosphere that urban brunch spots simply can't manufacture
- Reservations are essential, particularly on winter weekends when the lodge is at full capacity and the brunch buffet draws guests from across the mountain
Glitretind is where Park City's brunch scene reaches its highest expression — and for residents of Deer Valley, Deer Crest, and the surrounding areas, it's a standing reservation worth keeping.
Hearth and Hill
Hearth and Hill has established itself as one of Park City's most beloved neighborhood brunch destinations — a gathering place with an eclectic menu that rewards diners who aren't satisfied with the predictable.
What Sets Hearth and Hill Apart
- Sunday brunch spans eggs Benedict, pancakes, and biscuits with gravy alongside beer-battered cauliflower, truffle mac and cheese, pork gyozas, and a hot chicken sandwich — a range that suits every mood at the same table
- The adjacent Hill's Kitchen offers breakfast burritos and pastries for on-the-go brunch bites when a sit-down visit isn't practical
- The neighborhood setting away from Main Street gives it a local character that more tourist-facing spots along the historic corridor sometimes lack
- Consistent quality across a creatively varied menu has made it a reliable destination for both solo visits and larger group brunches throughout the week
Hearth and Hill is where Park City's brunch scene shows its most genuinely local side — and where the menu rewards diners who are willing to order something they've never tried before.
