Now, if you picked Boulder, I could give you a great list of breakfast places. Boulder is a breakfast town. There is one place called Le Peep that makes pretty good breakfasts and they have restaurants in a few locations in Denver. In Breckenridge, try The Prospector. I've never had their pancakes, but their heuvos rancheros are to die for, as is their green chili cheeseburger, but most folks don't consider that a breakfast food. :-)

Some of the best food in the Breckenridge area, is in Frisco, and Dillon. It has been a few years since I have been up there, but The Claimjumper, in Frisco used to be great for breakfast. Take the SR 9 exit from I-70, and the Claimjumper is on the left, next to a 7-11. Also the is a good Mexican style place on the right. Below is a list of places in the Denver area. The Fort in Morrison is one of my favorites. Take C-470 to the Hampden Blvd/US-285 exit. Go west to the next exit. The fort is just north of 285. It sits on a hill, overlooking south Denver. It is designed as a nineteenth century adobe fort. The food is great. Buffalo, Elk, Venison, quail, beef, and seafood. The finest array of brandies that I have found. is at The Fort. A good winelist is available. two people, without wine can spend $ 60 to $100. Dress is casual. Reservations suggested. The Buckhorn Exchange 1000 block of Osage St., Denver. Turn east on 10th St from Kalamath, 10th dead ends to Osage. The Buckhorn is on the corner. Menu is similar to Fort. The chef gets a bit more creative on the specials, I think. Fair winelist.
