Description: The all-new Bacchanale is a modest Italian restaurant from the team that launched django’s restaurant at the base of Mt. Crested Butte in 2008. Our fresh and light menu will re-introduce you to simple flavors, colorful salads, artisan flatbreads and handmade specialties. Our comfortable atmosphere will entice you to come every day. Join us nightly for dinner from 5-10pm, and pick your favorite spot: at the bar, the community tables, along the banquette benches, in our private dining rooms, or on the balcony overlooking it all. During the summer, bistro seating on Elk Avenue let's you watch the action, enjoy the sunshine and surf the web, all while enjoying a Campari & soda. At 7am every morning, we're up again to serve you organic coffee, fresh house-made pastries, and specialty breakfast items.

The food served at Bacchanale is on par with that of nice restaurants in large cities. New ownership (same as Cannot) has created a relaxed, upscale environment that fits Crested Butte exceptionally well. We enjoyed it so much that we ate there two nights in a row.

Wonderful visit. I will recommend to our visitors here in Crested Butte with no reservations. The new owners also own Django on the mountain and they have an excellent reputation locally. My family and friends will return often.

We found out about this wonderful restaurant while dining at another favorite (Django's). The food was creative and delicious. The atmosphere was perfect Crested Butte - casual yet sophisticated. The Brussels sprout/kale salad was an incredible blending of flavors and textures. This is top of our list for our next visit!

Had been to Bacchanale on a previous ski trip to Crested Butte and thought it was a very good restaurant. However, a couple years had passed until our last visit a week ago Thursday. The decor and menu have changed and they went from very good to excellent! Frankly, my family looks forward to the evening dining experience as much... More

We were a bit let down with our dinner here. The atmosphere is nice & the service friendly (though got behind at times). Some of the dishes were quite good (especially a Brussels sprout/kale salad, flatbread, meats/cheese app, veggie sides) but the pastas left something to be desired. Overall good, but not great

We loved the small plates and creative menu. The roasted chicken was incredible flavorful. The salads were fresh, healthy and delicious. At our table of 10' 4 adults, 6 kids ages 8-15, everyone LOVED the food. We ordered items individually and to share but we all tried everything as it was all so tempting! Atmosphere was edgy yet refined, if... More

New management has revolutionized this restaurant. The food is imaginative, very, very well priced, and perfectly delicious. Among the best flatbreads you could find anywhere in the U.S. Portions are large. Drinks and wine list are reasonably priced. The owners own Django's up on the mountain, and have created the same quality food as Django's at lower prices. If you... More
