Best Unique Restaurants in Salt Lake City

“No, it needs to be more unique than that.”
-Arthur, Inception [2010]

If the Covid-19 pandemic taught me anything, the atmosphere of a restaurant matters just as much as the food when dining out. Takeout just didn’t scratch the same itch. That’s why we love visiting Salt Lake City’s unique restaurants. Ever eaten in a basement speakeasy? How about in a trolley car? Whether it’s on a secluded patio deep in the mountains or off a dim sum cart in a modern eatery, we love eating at the most unique restaurants in Salt Lake City.
