Beautiful Cheeses at The Truffle Pig in Steamboat Springs Colorado!

Dried fruit, artisanal cheeses, fig compote and candied walnuts make up this cheese plate at The Truffle Pig.

I had a great view of the ski lift and the mountain where snow boarders and skiers came crashing into new snow!

There was a lovely selection of goat, sheep and cow cheeses.
The First Snow was a local sheep cheese; mild yet piquant and delicious with fruits.

All theese great cheeses and beautiful fruits yet the bread was less than mediocre.
A hardier nutty bread would have been nice.

An afternoon of wine and cheese? No problem!

Mountainside Dining at The Truffle Pig in Steamboat Springs Colorado with Chef Ezra Duker!

The Truffle Pig in Steamboat Springs Colorado was a great find.
Chef Ezra Duker has a light touch and sharp palette.
The flavors do not get lost or overpowered by each other.
This gorgeous grilled cheese with Gruyere and Cheddar Cheeses on Sourdough Bread with Tomato Bisque and Field Greens was probably the best I had ever had.
The bread was crispy and buttery and the bisque had a hint of BBQ sauce.

I had to order the Truffle Fries! Light and crispy; fried in Truffle oil with parmesan cheese. Fantastic.



Beautiful Dark Chocolate Cheesecake with Grand Marnier Orange Peel and fresh whipped cream was too tempting to pass up.

The Truffle Pig is a treasure.
From fine dinning to elegant apres ski ambiance it is a must see for foodies!
