Wayan Aspen

Following the success of their Wayan pop-up at The Little Nell the past two years, Wayan Aspen marks Cédric and Ochi’s first brick + mortar in the coveted mountain town. The dynamic husband-and-wife duo bring their respective French training and Indonesian background to create a harmonious blend of tradition, hospitality and innovation. Wayan, their approachable Indonesian restaurant with modern French flair, was named one of Esquire's 2019 Best New Restaurants and is currently one of the only Indonesian restaurants in the Michelin Guide in America. Recently recognized by The Best Chef Awards 2024, Cédric, who has trained across the globe, including under his father Jean-Georges Vongerichten, brings a fusion of French techniques to their dishes. Ochi's Jakarta roots infuse vibrant Indonesian flavors into Wayan and Ma•dé's menus, resulting in a diverse culinary experience that celebrates the vibrant tapestry of Indonesian cuisine.

At Wayan Aspen, guests can expect signature shareable dishes like Lobster Noodles with black pepper butter and thai basil, Peekytoe Crab Fried Rice with kerupuk and cilantro, the crowd-favorite Corn Fritters, and desserts like Pandan Passion Fruit Custard. Regional specialties will include Colorado Lamb Satay, local Dry Aged Ribeye served with Indonesian sauces, and Butterflied Trout topped with sambal tomato sauce, plus seasonal highlights like Crescent Duck with calamansi gulai, stone fruit and lotus chips. For some comfort after a long day on the slopes, they'll also offer hot broth options like Mushroom Soup Jamur with noodles. A special Aprés Ski menu will follow the initial opening period from 3-5pm. Guests can also experience handcrafted cocktails like the Calamansi Fizz with gin, calamansi, aquafaba, and rosemary; the Devils Avocado with mezcal, avocado, cucumber and honey; and the Wedang with whiskey, benedictine, honey, lemongrass (served hot).
