PARC Aspen

Maryanne and Harley Sefton founded PARC Aspen to preserve the local identity of the town, bringing fine dining to life without prior hospitality experience but with deep intention. Located on E Hyman Ave, the restaurant operates as a destination where seasonal bounty meets global inspiration. Chef Stefano Schiaffino leads the kitchen, blending French discipline with his Peruvian heritage and worldly experience. The menu highlights Colorado’s seasonal ingredients through dishes like 11-Year Bourbon Smoked Elk Loin, cast iron-seared steaks, organic salmon, Mushrooms & Polenta, and Foie Gras Chaud Froid. The team sources thoughtfully from Colorado farms and purveyors whenever possible.

The wine program, directed by John Mckenna, stands as one of the most distinguished in Aspen. PARC holds Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence, recognized three years running, with a list featuring over 1,300 curated labels from iconic estates and emerging producers worldwide. Selections highlight Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, and standout wines from Italy, Spain, and leading American regions. Dinner service runs Wednesday through Sunday, starting at 5:00 PM.
