Mirabelle is located inside the picture-perfect Beaver Creek Resort in Avon, Colorado. It is believed that Mirabelle stands on the site of the Valley of Beaver Creek’s very first home and this respect for the land’s deep-rooted history is apparent at the restaurant.
Tucked away just inside the entrance of the Beaver Creek, the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star restaurant is settled inside a turn-of-the century ranch house, which has much of the home’s original architecture still in tact. The space is divided into three separate, intimate dining rooms. In the back kitchen, chef Daniel Joly creates a European menu focusing on classic French cuisine that utilizes the best of Colorado’s regional produce.
