Elevated Alpine CuisineThe menu philosophy behind our “elevated alpine cuisine” stems from all the places we’ve lived, worked, skied, and played around the world. While the flora and fauna remain the same in these regions above the 7000' elevation, the spices, techniques, and recipes vary. This diverse pantry is a delightful fusion of traditional alpine cuisine and modern culinary trends, offering dishes that tantalize the taste buds with a contemporary twist. Guests can savor classic fondue while enjoying views of the snow-capped mountains, complemented by a curated list of wine, spirits, and local beers. Alpinist is a captivating blend of old and new, making it the perfect destination for those seeking both a blast from the past and a view of the future in the heart of the mountains.

    We went to Nohm for my birthday date night and had a phenomenal experience! Nohm has such unique and delightful flavor & texture combinations in both their food & drinks. My wife was especially BLOWN AWAY by the mackerel dish and thinks it was likely the single best thing she has eaten in SLC. Our server Shelby was also amazing; a calm & friendly demeanor along with detailed & insightful menu recommendations that helped us to dial in the perfect spread. We will be back. Frequently.
