Al Fresco Dining
ULUM’s unique indoor and outdoor dining options overlook majestic Looking Glass Arch, offering an unmatched dining experience from morning until night.
Breakfast
As dawn breaks, rise from your safari-inspired canvas tent and let the comforting scent of freshly brewed coffee guide you to the lobby area. Settle in on the patio or beside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the lobby and enjoy an espresso with your morning meal. The breakfast menu features everything from French toast, to egg sandwiches, to yogurt and granola—offering delicious nourishment to fuel your day.
Dinner
As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows and bathing the landscape in a golden hue, indulge in small plates, entrees, and sides ranging from apple and jicama salad and grilled avocado, to smoked Idaho trout and bison burgers. Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the desert twilight, delighting in every morsel of your meal while soaking up the resort’s breathtaking views.
S’mores and After-Dinner Drinks
Fortunately, the day doesn’t end with dinner. The warmth of an open fire invites you for after-dinner s’mores beneath a star-filled sky. As dusk falls, wind down with a craft brew or specialty cocktail, each sip an homage to the natural elements surrounding the resort.

Desert Bistro is a casual upscale restaurant widely celebrated for its creative cuisine.
