What to Order this Summer at Petit Trois Aspen

Summer evenings in Aspen call for long dinners, great conversation, and thoughtful pairings. At Petit Trois Aspen, our refreshed summer menu celebrates classic French cuisine with fresh ingredients, complemented by a curated wine and cocktail program selected to elevate every course.

Here are our Food & Beverage team’s favorite pairings from this season’s menu.

APPETIZERS

CHAMPAGNE & PÂTÉ DE CAMPAGNE

Begin your evening than with a glass of Gatinois Champagne alongside our Pâté de Campagne. The Champagne’s bright acidity and delicate bubbles elevates the richness of the pâté, creating a balanced first course that is both elegant and approachable.

CHABLIS & BURGUNDY ESCARGOTS

A timeless French pairing, our Burgundy Escargots shine alongside a crisp glass of L’Esperance Chablis. With its mineral notes, Chablis enriches the garlic-herb butter while allowing the delicate flavors of the escargots to take center stage.

PETIT TROIS MARTINI & CRISPY RICE TAPIOCA

For a modern twist, enjoy our signature Petit Trois Martini with our Crispy Rice Tapioca. The martini’s clean, refreshing profile balances the dish’s rich texture, making it an ideal choice for an afternoon aperitif or the start of your evening.

ENTRÉES

CABERNET & BIG MEC

For guests craving something heartier, order the Big Mec with the bold Obsidian Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich tannins and dark fruit notes bring out the burger’s savory flavors, making this a classic pairing for memorable dinner.

SANCERRE & TROUT ALMONDINE

Our Trout Almondine comes alive with a glass of Sancerre from the Loire Valley. Notes of citrus and fresh herbs enhance the toasted almonds and brown butter for a light, seasonal pairing.

DESERTS

SAUTERNES & CRÈME BRÛLÉE

End your evening with our Vin Jaune Crème Brûlée with a glass of Sauternes. The wine’s subtle sweetness and layered flavors complexity beautifully accentuate the caramelized sugar crust and creamy vanilla custard for a rich finish.

ESPRESSO MARTINI

If cocktails are more your style, our Espresso Martini is the perfect after-dinner indulgence. Rich espresso, smooth vodka, and vanilla-forward chocolate liqueur offer a sophisticated finish that doubles as both a dessert and a nightcap.

Petit Trois Aspen is open daily for dinner from 5:00–10:00 PM, with both indoor dining and patio seating available. Reserve your table and experience one of Aspen’s favorite French dining destinations this summer.
