AN AMATEUR ADVENTURER
A LOCAL'S GUIDE, WHERE TO EAT IN SALT LAKE CITY
EVEN THOUGH THIS LITTLE RESTAURANT IS HIDDEN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. ALL CHAY IS A MUST STOP IF YOU LIKE VIETNAMESE FOOD. THE MENU IS ALL VEGAN, THOUGH I LOVE MEAT, THEIR VEGITARIAN SUBSITUTES ARE DELICIOUS!
EVEN IF YOU'RE ONLY IN SALT LAKE OVER NIGHT, YOU NEED TO STOP AT THE AWARD WINNING RED IGUANA. EASILY THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD YOU'LL EVER HAVE. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR RESTAURANTS HERE SO THERE IS ALMOST ALWAYS A LINE, NEVER FRET, IF THE WAIT IS TOO LONG, RED IGUANA 2 IS ONLY A FIVE MINUTE WALK AWAY.
COLORFULLY DECORATED PLACE WITH AMAZING PIZZA, THE PIE HOLE WAS MY HIGHSCHOOL HANG OUT. (I THINK MY SIGNATURE IS STILL WRITTEN ON THE WALL) SALT LAKE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH OF A NIGHTLIFE, BUT YOU CAN GET PIZZA AND BEER HERE UNTIL 2 A.M.
I LOVE ALL INDIAN FOOD, HOWEVER THE BEST IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AT BOMBAY HOUSE. I'VE NEVER ORDERED ANYTHING THERE THAT WASN'T ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!
IF THERE IS ONE PLACE IN THE CITY I'D CALL MY SECOND HOME, IT'S COFFEE GARDEN I SPENT YEARS GOING THERE EVERY DAY, AND IT IS THE BEST COFFEE IN SALT LAKE. ONE OF THE BEST PARTS IS IT IN MY FAVORITE LITTLE SPOT IN THE WHOLE CITY, 9TH AND 9TH. THERE IS ALSO A SMALLER LOCATION INSIDE EBORN BOOKS DOWNTOWN.
ALSO ON 9TH & 9TH IS MY PERSONAL #1 FAVORITE RESTAURANT. THAI GARDEN STOLE MY HEART THE SECOND I HAD THEIR ICED COFFEE, BUT ONCE I ATE SPRING ROLLS AND PEANUT CHICKEN I KNEW I COULD HAPPILY EAT THERE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THIS AREA YOU MUST TRY IT OUT.
UTAH HAS A LOT OF LOCAL BREWERYS, AND THE PLACE TO TRY THEM IS AT SQUATTERS PUB. WHETHER YOU DRINK OR NOT THE FOOD THERE IS DELICIOUS THE ATMOSPHERE IS GREAT, AND IT'S RIGHT DOWNTOWN.
BRUGES WAFFLES AND FRIETS HAS EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK, BELGIUM WAFFLES AND FRIES. IT'S HARD TO WRITE ABOUT THIS BECUASE NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW DELICIOUS THIS PLACE IS. YOU HAVE TO GET FRIES AND WAFFLES WHILE YOU'RE THERE, BECAUSE MISSING OUT ON EITHER ONE WOULD BE A CRIME.
RIGHT NEXT TO BRUGE'S IS TONY CAPUTO'S MARKET AND DELI. WITH A HUGE CHEESE CAVE AND TONS OF DARK CHOCOLATES, MEATS, OLIVE OILS, BASICALLY EVERYTHING DELICIOUS IN THIS WORLD. PLUS THE SANDWHICHES IN THE DELI ARE TO DIE FOR.
FINALLY ONE OF THE LESSER KNOWN, BUT BEST SPOTS IN SALT LAKE IS MESTIZO COFFEE HOUSE NOT ONLY IS THE COFFEE THERE FANTASTIC, IT'S ALS0 AN ART GALLERY SHOWING LOCAL ARTISTS. THERE ARE PLENTY OF EVENTS GOING ON THERE, INCLUDING OPEN MIC NIGHTS ETC...
MY NAME'S ELLEN. CURRENTLY RESIDING IN SLC, UTAH. I'M JUST AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF MY JOURNEY TO SEE THE WORLD. I'M EXCITED TO SHARE MY ADVENTURES WITH YOU.
