The Copper Onion is a downtown Salt Lake City brasserie at 111 East Broadway that has been cooking American fare from scratch since 2010. Locals return for house-made pasta, locally sourced plates, and one of the city’s more serious wine and cocktail programs (source: The Copper Onion).
Everything on the menu is made in-house daily, and the kitchen leans on local and sustainable suppliers. The menu runs from shareable small plates to house-made pastas, entrées, and sides (source: MenuToEat). Regulars point newcomers toward the ricotta dumplings and the burger, then toward the bar for a seasonal cocktail. The dining room hums with conversation through the dinner rush, which makes it a lively choice for date nights and celebratory family meals. Weekend brunch draws its own loyal crowd.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
The restaurant serves dinner seven nights a week, lunch on weekdays, and brunch on weekends. Weekend brunch and Friday and Saturday dinners fill quickly, so book ahead through OpenTable or call 801-355-3282. Weekday lunch is the easiest walk-in window. The Copper Onion sits on Broadway (300 South), a short walk from TRAX light-rail stops and close to Broadway Centre Cinemas, which makes dinner and an indie film an easy evening. Paid street parking and nearby garages serve the block. Hours can shift seasonally, so confirm current times on the official site before you go.
