The Salt Lake Magazine Dining Awards return. Each year, Salt Lake magazine and our panel of judges dine, deliberate and determine our choices for the Best Restaurants in Utah. By recognizing superb dining experiences, we endeavor to answer what we’re calling the “eternal question,” which is “Where should we eat?” For the answer, see the complete list of the best restaurants in Utah on saltlakemagazine.com.
