Trolley Cottage Café is a cute French bistro home to some of the best brunch around and is one of the best new restaurants in Salt Lake City. Located across from Trolley Square, this cozy gem features a mouth-watering menu complete with both sweet and savory brunch options.

The Pain Perdu is a delicious take on French toast made with slices of baguette topped with a buttery orange syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream. If you are an avocado toast fan, we highly recommend giving their version a try: hummus, an herb aioli, and pickled onions elevate the newly beloved breakfast staple.

There will be a dozen NBA events happening over the three-day basketball extravaganza from Trolley Square, The Huntsman Center and culminating at Vivint Arena.

Vessel Kitchen just opened their sixth location last month and its easy to see why there’s such a demand. 

Vessel Kitchen is a fast-paced, fine dining restaurant that focuses on clean, wholesome ingredients sourced from growers and partners they know and trust. 

With Vessel’s menu, which changes every six months or so, it’s clear that you’re dealing with people who know how to blend and balance their ingredients for specific flavor profiles. The poke tuna bowl spruces up the fresh yellowfin tuna with a ponzu marinade and a spring roll slaw. It relies on Asian-inspired flavors as its basis, but the Israeli couscous and avocado pop in to add some creamy texture to the acidic flavors. 

If you want to feel healthier leaving the restaurant than when you went in, you’ll want to give this place a visit.
