For nearly four decades, Sunday brunch at the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Park City has been a beloved local tradition, cherished by both residents and visitors. This enduring practice is considered a must-experience event in the region.
The brunch buffet presents a wide selection that blends classic breakfast items with modern dishes. Guests can enjoy cheese blintzes with berry compote, huli huli chicken with tamarind jus, miniature waffles with raspberry jam, and braised pork osso buco with orange yam puree.
