How This Directory Is Built

The directory below lists every entry on this site that carries the Restaurant category. It is not a ranking. Entries appear in the order they were added to the guide, newest first, and each card links straight through to that entry's own page.

Reading a Salt Lake City Address

Salt Lake City is laid out on a numbered grid that counts outward from Temple Square, at the corner of Main Street and South Temple. An address such as 300 South 300 East sits three blocks south and three blocks east of that origin, so most addresses in this directory locate themselves once the pattern is clear.

Downtown covers the blocks closest to that origin. 9th and 9th takes its name from the intersection of 900 South and 900 East. Sugar House lies farther south and east again.

The guide keeps a separate entry for each of 33 Salt Lake City neighborhoods.

Entries Still Being Filled In

A small number of entries in this directory are still being filled in and appear without a photo. They are listed because they carry the Restaurant category, not because the guide has finished writing them up. Treat an entry with no photo as a stub rather than a recommendation.
