Utah has tons of fabulous restaurants with great food, amazing views, romantic ambiance or all three. If you’re looking for an absolutely unforgettable dining experience, one great choice is The Viking Yurt at Park City Resort. The price per person is $167.64 per person (including tax and tip), but you’re not just paying for dinner…you’ll enjoy an entire evening unlike any other.

The Viking Yurt/Facebook Start by reserving your spot. The Viking Yurt only accommodates 40 people per evening, for one seating. As of the publication of this article, the yurt has plenty of spaces available in March, and even some left in February.

The Viking Yurt/Facebook You’ll begin your evening at 6:00 p.m. with a sleigh ride to the yurt. The restaurant books spaces for both the sleigh and the cab. You’ll be cozy and warm under a pile blankets while the sleigh climbs 1,800 feet up the mountain. During the a 23-minute trip, you’ll enjoy the stars and views of Park City below. Dress warmly, in layers that you can add and remove throughout the evening.

The Viking Yurt/Facebook Children are allowed, but make sure they’re capable of enjoying the full four hour experience – once you get up the mountain, there’s no way back down until the end of the night. It’s certainly not the kind of restaurant for a toddler, for instance. However, if your children are mature enough to participate and enjoy this extended dining experience, their evening at the yurt will be one they’ll never forget. Children pay the same rate as other patrons.

The Viking Yurt/Facebook Once you arrive at the yurt, you’ll be treated to music from the baby grand piano inside (ask your hosts how they got that piano up the mountain – it’s quite a story!). The yurt is cozy and warm, with a very communal feel.

The Viking Yurt/Facebook You’ll start with a cup of hot glogg (a non-alcoholic, berry drink infused with cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamon), while chatting with some of your new friends. One of the best parts of this experience is the people you’ll meet and get to know during the evening.

The Viking Yurt/Facebook Wine, beer and liquor is available at the yurt, but in according with Utah State law, is not included in the price. You may bring an uncorked bottle of wine (and pay a corkage fee). No drinking is allowed during the sleigh rides.

The Viking Yurt/Facebook The menu at The Viking Yurt is the same for the entire season. You’ll be treated to a six-course meal that includes: butternut squash soup; salad with smoked trout and a creamy lemon & honey dressing; a sorbet palate cleanser, the entree of braised short ribs, Jarlsburg potatoes and winter vegetables; a cheese and fruit plate and a warm pear strudel with lingonberry ice cream.

At the end of the evening, you’ll snuggle back into the sleigh for your trip down the mountain. This is truly a unique Utah dining experience that you’ll never forget!
