The Sow’s Ear Restaurant, featuring the “Best Steaks on the Mountain”, is located in the Silverpick Lodge at mile marker 48 along US HWY 550, 24 miles north of Durango and one mile south of the entrance to Purgatory Resort. Chef Ben Kein, a Maine Native and world traveler, specializes in what he terms “Refined Rustic” cuisine. That’s short hand for local, seasonal, foraged and prepared in house. What Grandma made but with a wider variety of ingredients and prepared for your 21st century pallet and lifestyle. In addition to our set menus he is pleased to offer seasonal and celebratory weekly Specialty Menus. “You’re gonna love ‘em!”
Born on the 4th of July 1986 and nestled between the Hermosa Cliffs and the Twilight Peaks, the Sow’s Ear is intimate yet airy and well appointed. With four massive windows overlooking the wilderness, there’s not a bad seat in the house.
