Local Dining Favorites
Buen Tiempo Mexican Restaurant is one of Ouray's most beloved institutions — New Mexican-style cuisine in a historic building on Main Street. The green chile is made from scratch and the margaritas match the mountain views.
The Ouray Brewery is the local gathering spot for après-adventure — craft beers brewed on-site, a rotating food menu, and a patio overlooking the canyon. The seasonal IPAs made with local mountain water are a must-try.
Breakfast, Coffee, and Quick Bites
Maggie's Kitchen and Daylight Donuts are popular morning stops before heading out on trails or Jeep roads. Several coffee shops on Main Street offer espresso drinks and pastries in settings with canyon views.
For self-catering, the Ouray Market and nearby grocery options stock basics for cooking in your Lumberyard Condo — a full kitchen dramatically expands your dining flexibility.
Dining Strategy with The Lumberyard
Staying at The Lumberyard Condos with a full kitchen gives you the best of both worlds — cook breakfast and pack trail lunches to control costs, then splurge on dinner at one of Ouray's excellent restaurants.
