Trattoria Stella

Tom and Marna Sumners have doubled the fun with two locations of Trattoria Stella, their hip neighborhood bistro – one on the west side, one on the east. Both are comfortable spots, with eclectic menus that aren’t afraid to take chances and regulars who appreciate the results. Sunday brunch is particularly popular, and in a […]

Trinity Grille

Let the businessmen watch their portfolios while you peruse this menu of good, old-fashioned, solid restaurant fare. Fat steaks, hearty soups, respectable burgers and somewhat anachronistic fresh-fish selections make this a great place to dine when a meal, and not the show, is what you’re after. Lunch is always packed; dinner is more sedate. Another […]

Trompeau Bakery

Some of our best memories of France involve stuffing our faces with the best pastries in the world, roaming between shops to sample croissants, quiche, macarons and boules. When we crave that kind of experience in Denver, we head for Trompeau Bakery. Trompeau relocated from its original University of Denver digs to Englewood in 2011, […]

TRU Colotexmex Bar-B-Que & Catering

Cruise along Littleton Boulevard until you see the Pyramid Liquors sign, then pull into the parking lot for a smoky surprise. TRU owner and pit master James Diaz fires up the mesquite and hits ribs, chicken thighs, pork loin, brisket and beef tri-tip with a powerful dose of smoke, as is appropriate for his Tex-Mex […]

True Food Kitchen

True Food Kitchen, a branch of the brand operated by Phoenix-based Fox Restaurant Concepts, features healthy food based on the anti-inflammatory-food pyramid behind Dr. Andrew Weil’s prescription for a healthy life. But if you didn’t know that – if you stopped in simply because you noticed people camped out in Cherry Creek and wanted to […]

Tuk Tuk Thai Bistro

This is the first and most expansive of three Tuk Tuk eateries to translate the Thai street-food concept into American fast food. The dishes all celebrate freshness, flavors, textures and colors, with an emphasis on noodle bowls, grilled or barbecued meat and chopped-to-order salads. Spend a few minutes with the sushi menu as well, which […]

Tuscany

This is romantic, refined dining, in a room so elegant you forget Tuscany is part of a hotel. The kitchen focuses on things Italian, offering sophisticated fare (including wonderful rustic breads) that takes a few chances.

Twelve Restaurant

Jeff Osaka’s twelve derives its name from its focus on monthly menus that highlight seasonality as far more fluid than just spring, summer, fall and winter. Seasonality wasn’t all that hot when Osaka opened twelve in late 2008; neither was the Ballpark neighborhood, where he turned an old storefront into a spare, elegant dining room […]

Twisters Burgers and Burritos

Serving Coloradans fast-casual-sized, chile-bathed burritos at fast-food prices, Twisters Burgers and Burritos is a welcome transplant from our friendly neighbors in New Mexico, with four locations in metro Denver. Twisters is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner: In the morning, have a breakfast burrito with egg, potato, chorizo and red chile; at lunch a burrito […]

Twisters Burgers and Burritos

Twisters, a New Mexico-based chain, has four locations in metro Denver. But even though it’s a chain, it doesn’t serve fast food — as evidenced by its lengthy, made-to-order menu. You can get burritos of the breakfast, specialty or build-your-own variety, plus enchiladas, combination platters, New Mexican specialties and such American favorites as burgers and […]

Two Penguins Tap & Grill

Two Penguins Tap and Grill, which opened in Centennial in April 2015, has 36 rotating beers on tap – the focus is on Colorado craft versions – and serves a decent selection of locally distilled spirits. The kitchen serves up American fare, including appetizers, burgers, pizzas and salads, as well as specials like barbecued pulled […]

Uber Eats

The original Uber Sausage opened in 2011 in a tiny space on East Colfax Avenue. For their sophomore effort, though, owners Marco Macchiaroli, Alex Gschwend, Brad Arguello and Henry DeMetteis signed on for a much bigger, two-level space on the edge of LoHi. This Uber, which opened in spring 2013, offers the familiar sausage sandwiches […]
