Denver Restaurants

As befits a multiethnic crossroads, Denver lays out a dizzying range of eateries. Head for LoDo, the Highland District, the RiNo Art District, or south of the city for the more inventive kitchens. Try Federal Street for cheap ethnic eats—especially Mexican and Vietnamese—and expect authentic takes on classic Italian, French, and Asian cuisines. Throughout Denver, menus at trendy restaurants focus on locally sourced, organic, and healthier options; Denver's top chefs continue to gain the attention of national food magazines and win culinary competitions, but between the increased exposure and the rapid influx of residents, prices have skyrocketed to match or exceed those of larger cities.

  • 1. Pizzeria Locale

    $ | Highland

    This casual pizzeria is a franchised offshoot of the original in Boulder. They had set out to make inexpensive pizza the way it was done in Italy 150 years ago: in under two minutes in a blistering-hot oven, with a light, thin, bubbly crust, and sparingly topped with fresh ingredients. The unexpected ingredients are the ones that impress—charred broccolini, crème fraîche with corn, ricotta with Calabrian chilies. A miniature cup of butterscotch pudding is the perfect amount of dessert.

  • 2. Sam's No. 3

    $$ | Downtown

    Greek immigrant Sam Armatas opened his first eatery in Denver in 1927, and his three sons use the same recipes their father did in their updated version of his all-American diner, from the famous red and green chilis to the Coney Island–style hot dogs and creamy rice pudding. The retro diner resembles a fancy Denny's, and the bar is crowded with theatergoers and hipsters after dark. Good luck choosing: the menu is 12 pages long, with Greek and Mexican favorites as well as diner classics. The chunky mashed potatoes rule, as do the pie-based milkshakes, and breakfast, which is served all day, comes fast.

    1500 Curtis St., Denver, Colorado, 80202, USA
    303-534–1927

    Known For

    • Heavenly milkshakes
    • All-day breakfast
