La Tour Restaurant Vail

La Tour Restaurant sits on East Meadow Drive, steps from the banks of Gore Creek. It holds a Wine Spectator Excellence Award, anchoring its reputation in an extensive cellar that favors traditional French producers.

The room runs smart, feeling dressier than the mountain-casual spots that dominate the surrounding village. While the menu leans into a creative, farm-to-table approach, the real reason to choose La Tour over its neighbors is the pacing of the dining room. It offers a sustained, intentional experience that rewards those looking for a formal French dinner, rather than the quick-turn tables found closer to the Eagle Bahn Gondola. It is the place for a long evening of wine service, which is a rare commodity in a town built for the rapid ski-in, ski-out pace.
