In Crested Butte, nicknamed “the last great Colorado ski town” for its jaw-dropping scenery and cast of colorful locals, a modest 1880s miner’s cabin tucked away in an alley is home to the area’s only upscale French restaurant. Soupçon opened in 1975 and has been wowing diners with its seasonal, locally sourced, innovative fare ever since. With only nine tables that seat just 28, it offers an intimate, bespoke experience that general manager and sommelier Joel Grill plays an integral role in creating every evening.
