On October 4th and October 11, Modis Restaurant, located 113 S. Main St., will be hosting a wine tasting along with live jazz music from The Summit County Consort from 5pm-8pm. $20 per person includes: wine tasting, appetizers and live music . Tickets will be sold at the door. For more information please call Kendra at 970-453-3582 or email Kcaldwell@grandlodgeonpeak7.com.

Even if you don’t attend the Tastes and Sounds events, you will want to check out Modis. It is located in the space formerly occupied by the Horseshoe.  It is owned by Eric, Ian and Chris, of Downstairs at Eric’s fame. Apparently, the restaurant’s name was inspired by Eric’s toddler. When he wants more of a certain type of food, he points to it and says “Mo’dis.”

While its name may be toddler inspired, the food at Modis is awe-inspiring. The health conscious can try the Modis salad, which consists of mixed greens, avocado, cucumber, fresh corn, tomato, croutons, grilled asparagus, olives, blue cheese, and a  honey mustard red wine vinigarette dressing. While we don’t usually think of Breckenridge as a seafood destination, the Yellow Fin Tuna is so fresh you’d think that you were eating at a seaside resort. It comes with a ginger garnish, an edamame cilantro risotto cake, steamed baby bok choy, pickled cucumber salad and sweet soy ginger dressing.

Check out Modis on your next Breckenridge vacation.
