Where to find the best dishes to eat in Utah’s capital

Salt Lake City has grown a lot since Brigham Young led a group of 143 pioneers into the valley in 1847. Salt Lake welcomed the world during the Winter Olympics of 2002, and has remained a city diverse with international culture. The capital of the Beehive State is surrounded by the Great Salt Lake to the North, the Uinta mountains to the West, and the Wasatch Front, home of Park City and Utah’s famous ski slopes to the East. Salt Lake may not have the numbers other larger cities have on the dining scene, but it definitely has something for everyone. Here’s a collection of the best places with unique locations and menus every visitor must try.
