Artisan. Local. Farm Fresh. Achieving exactly what the new restaurant, Pago, had in mind. With its menu constantly changing, Pago writes its menu around Utah’s local products and creates an experience that is centered upon the season. Serving brunch, lunch and dinner, Pago serves rustic food that according to its owner, speaks to you in a different level. Located on Salt Lake’s 9th and 9th in an old brick building built in 1910, Pago, deriving from a Spanish word meaning a single vineyard, offers a variety of local grown foods and wines.

Bringing back some of your old childhood memories is what Mini’s Retro Café is great at doing. From the food to the décor, Mini’s inspires you with the things you grew up with. Somewhat resembling your grandmother’s living room, while being retro and hip at the same time, Mini’s is the perfect place to go for breakfast or lunch. Experience great food and great decorative details all at the same time.

“There are more important things to fight about than where to eat” is the slogan centered at the top of Tonyburgers’ menu. Brothers, Chris and Nick Carver came up with the idea to bring in a burger lover and a salad lover and have them eat together at the same place. The Carver brothers traveled all over the nation during their Great Burger Quest to find a great burger and find the best way to make it. Well they found it and went above and beyond to make everything else in their restaurant the best. Come see what makes Tonyburgers so famous.
