The 13 Restaurants You’ll Want To Eat At In Utah In 2020
We love sharing all of the great dining spots around the Beehive State with our readers, and we feel like we could feature new places every week and never run out of restaurant recommendations. Still…we have to admit that we do have a few favorites. These places are just a few of the tried-and-true dining venues that we go back to again and again; the restaurants we always recommend to out-of-town guests.
This list of 13 restaurants runs the gamut, from a humble diner, to a hip brunch spot, to an expensive French restaurant where peacocks wander around the beautifully-manicured grounds. If you’ve lived in Utah for very long, you’ve probably heard of all of them, but if you haven’t visited yet, make plans to do so in 2020!
*These restaurants aren’t ranked, they’re presented alphabetically, because there’s no way we could possibly decide which one are the best!
Angie's is proof that you don't need to get all fancy to enjoy a great meal. It's a no-frills cafe in Logan, and it serves up delicious diner food, but its most famous item is Angie's Kitchen Sink. This ice cream confection consists of 2/3 of a gallon of vanilla ice cream, two whole bananas, up to three toppings, whipped cream, and cherries. Eat the whole thing and get a bumper sticker and bragging rights.

The town of Boulder is really, really remote, so it might be a surprise to find a world-class restaurant here. Owners Blake Spaulding and Jen Castle have created an icon with their creative recipes and fresh ingredients, many of which are grown on the restaurant's very own farm.

There are so many things to love about Ruth's Diner. Its beautiful location in Emigration Canyon, its quirky history, its trolley car dining room, and its Mile-High biscuits are just a few of the many reasons to visit. Ruth is no longer with us, but her legacy lives on.

If you use your imagination just a little bit, a visit to Tuscany Restaurant is like taking a trip to Italy. The dining room is decorated like a rustic, Italian farmhouse, and the Italian food is legit. During summer months, the patio is downright delightful.
