Denver’s bagel game has gotten far more diverse in 2024, and in October, Odell’s Bagel opened in the Highland neighborhood. The bagels themselves come in options such as furikake and rosemary, along with the standards: plain, sesame, everything, poppy and cinnamon raisin. But the real stars at Odell’s are the fishy toppings, particularly the pastrami-spiced […]

Showing 1453 - 1474 of 2371Northside native Cliff Blauvelt opened his rowdy daytime eatery in Sunnyside under the name Bodega in 2022. Since then, it’s been rebranded as Odie B’s, but no matter what you call it, there’s no denying that it’s earned its many fans, who line up for breakfast staples like burritos and the bacon, egg and cheese […]
In 2022, Ignazio Mulei, who ran this restaurant housed in an old Victorian for a decade with his son, general manager Michele, passed the reins to new owners. But Odyssey has continued to serve its loyal fans, who flock here for the atmosphere as much as the classic fare. Red-checkered tablecloths, fresh flowers in wine […]
Officers Club is a model neighborhood restaurant, one that’s custom-made for Lowry, with a food-drink-ambience formula that fits like a glove. The name – a nod to the neighborhood’s history as Lowry Air Force Base – conjures up a certain experience that distinguishes it from restaurants nearby, with associations of night-on-the-town food and live music, […]
In 2016, before there were poke chains popping up all over the place, Louie and Regan Colburn brought the Hawaiian specialty to Denver. What started as a takeout window at the now-closed Truffle Table soon moved into a permanent home across the street in LoHi, where Ohana continues to serve poke in its pure form, […]
The Id Est Hospitality group boasts many accolades, including Michelin stars for two of its concepts, Brutø and the Wolf’s Tailor, and a 2024 James Beard Award for Best Restaurateur in the country for founders Kelly and Erika Whitaker. In 2023, it opened a two-in-one restaurant and bar three floors above Tennyson Street. Hey Kiddo […]
In this day and age, Old Chicago locations are common enough across the country that many diners have forgotten this chain’s humble beginnings: It got its start not in Chicago — or anywhere else in Illinois, for that matter — but in Boulder, in 1976. Old Chicago is part of the Rock Bottom line of […]
A friendly neighborhood joint just east of LoDo, Old Curtis Street is one of Denver’s best kept secrets. The atmosphere recalls the warm and welcoming vibe of an old diner. The food and drink prices are beyond fair. With live music three nights a week, bringing everything from punk and indie bands to house DJs, […]
The Old Fashioned has held down this corner for two generations, beginning with Tom Panzarella, a born-and-bred Buffalo native who came to Denver in 1976; Tom’s son Dave now works the counter. On the outside, the silvered windows are covered with hand-painted advertisements for deli sandwiches, calzones and Sahlen’s hot dogs — the only Buffalo-style […]
There ain’t no brie on the menu at Old School Burgers. They offer exactly one kind of cheese: gooey and yellow. And the menus list no specialty burgers, no guacamole burgers, no fifty-dollar burgers with kobe and truffles, only the basics: burger, cheeseburger, then doubles and triples (yeah, triples) of both. The name says it […]
In a world where trends dictate the format and content of menus – small plates, kale salads, sliders, etc. – the menu at the Old Spaghetti Factory is reassuringly the same. Though two or three dishes are added with every menu update, which happens twice a year, the core rarely changes. These are dishes that […]
Still looking like the beautiful place of worship it once was, the Old Stone Church continues to be a mecca for some kind of reverence or another, whether your particular religion be food or wine. The serene, elegant restaurant offers just the kind of joyous occasion that takes the edge off the stresses of the […]
Chef John Broening scores again with another beautiful little neighborhood place in another neighborhood badly in need of just his kind of cuisine. Here it’s Spanish/Italian/Mediterranean food with a little bit of French thrown in for good measure — a restaurant that does small plates with huge flavors and big plates with a restraint and […]
Mary Nguyen has operated several compelling eateries over the past decade, but Olive & Finch was at once approachable and revolutionary when it opened in Uptown in 2013. Using the fast-casual model to build a restaurant with fine-dining aspirations and a quick-service price point, the chef turned out hearty breakfasts, delectable pastries, drool-worthy lunchtime sandwiches […]
Olive & Finch is so much more than a sandwich shop, but chef/owner Mary Nguyen builds such amazing meat-and-bread constructions that most sandwich-only spots pale in comparison. Many of the choices are named after Nguyen’s friends and family, so choose from the Luca, an Italian stack; the Bennett, a veggie mix with sweet basil pesto; […]
Denver / Boulder diners with an appetite for unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks and faux-Tuscan decor head to Olive Garden, where servers clad in white button-downs and ties pour glasses of chianti and pinot grigio alongside cheese-smothered dishes of bruschetta, Sicilian meatballs, chicken marsala, and parmesan-crusted steak. With more than 750 locations across the globe, […]
Pasta is at the heart of this Italian restaurant that opened in 2020. The dough master is chef Ty Leon, but what really sets Olivia apart is the symphony of teamwork that makes every aspect of dining here sing, from the skilled front-of-house crew led by Heather Morrison to the exceptional beverage program headed by […]
For several years now, this bright-yellow doughnut shop in Arvada has churned out quality pastries thanks to Peter, “just Peter,” the baker, manager and one-man band who owns OMG Donuts with his Texas-dwelling wife. The specialty is a large, yeast-risen model that looks like a pine cone and pulls apart in neat little chunks of […]
