The areas the Michelin Guide will cover will be Denver County, Boulder County, Aspen, Snowmass Village, Vail, and Beaver Creek Resort. Restaurants in these areas are eligible. Of course, restaurants will need to meet the criteria for the Michelin Guide to be awarded the prestigious stars.

Beckon
Hop Alley
Olivia
Sushi Den
