Fortunately, Aspen has plenty of below-street-level spaces that don't sacrifice ambiance for anonymity. CACHE CACHE French for "hide and seek," Cache Cache is known for classic French cuisine—made with the freshest local and regional ingredients—but be sure to pull up a seat at the bar and sample choice selections of the 5,000-bottle wine inventory. 205 S.
