Aurum Food & Wine Breckenridge - American restaurant in Breckenridge - 209 S Ridge St, USA

3.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️. Based on reviews and rating was expecting this to be near 5 stars but it wasn’t. Doesn’t mean you don’t try it, definitely worth a visit. It is a bit pricey but you can see why based on the restaurant and the food. Portions size is I would say all shareable but definitely on the pricey side. The tasting menu is something everyone in the table needs to participate in SL heads up. Also they accommodate and substitute based on dietary needs for the tasting menu. Espresso Martini was great and one of best I have had in Breck. The ranch was refreshing and recommend. Last selections of wines and the lady who seems like she was the sommelier (unsure if she was or not, couldn’t tell) made some good recommendations. The curried cauliflower is an app I would recommend along with the burrata. The market price pasta was a pistachio arugula pesto fettuccini with tempura zucchini and it was quite a surprise (in a good way). The mushroom soba noodles were a let down as the noodles were well over cooked and the tempura batter was way too salty throwing off the whole dish. The staff was nice to acknowledge this when we raised this and did offer to replace it so a great gesture - they mentioned it was a new dish in the menu so we’re trying to tweak this and appreciated the feedback (we took this at face value and didn’t read too much into it). Although we were going to order the cookies as a dessert they did make up for the soba noodles and gave us the dessert on the house - quite the gesture and much appreciated. The cookies are great - freshly baked or seems like it as they arrive warm along with a condensed milk “dip”, whip cream and what looks like nitrogen freeze dried cookie dough crumble.

Came here for dinner on our first night in Breckinridge. Make sure you call and get a reservation to avoid disappointment. The restaurant is cozy the staff are all friendly and professional and the food and drinks are all delicious. Everything was very pleasant and appealing.

Couldn't recommend this place more! Fabulous food and drinks! My husband and I did the chef's tasting menu last night and were obsessed. Came back for happy hour today to try more of the menu. Afterwards, decided we're going back for dinner tomorrow night. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and all the bar tenders and servers were just lovely!

The atmosphere and decor was not impressive but they more than make up for it with service and food. THE FOOD! Absolutely love the way they showcased the natural flavors of each ingredient harmoniously while also being packed with flavor. I’m still drooling over their duck entree and the tapenade with their burrata starter. On the pricier side but worth every cent!

An exceptional dining experience. The steak, trout, pasta were all excellent. You must get the lobster bisque and the cauliflower starters. Great service and lovely atmosphere, its a little pricey but worth it.

We came here on a recommendation from a friend and now I can recommend Aurum, too! Everything was delicious and the experience was great. Definitely worth a visit whenever in Breckenridge!

Service was great. Food was great. A reservation is optional but would work best because it gets packed. There was a small line when they opened at 4PM. We ordered the crispy curried cauliflower, spaghetti squash fritters, and Aurum Cesar salad as appetizers. We also ordered the Korean fried chicken, Parker house rolls, and French onion burger. For dessert we ordered the Candied Apple Toffee Cake. Everything was great. We would return for more.

Favorite spot to eat in Breck! Delish farm to table ingredients. Creative dishes with depth. Amazing and friendly staff! Place to be for their great happy hour!
