Pesce Fresco

This charming, Italian-themed wine bar has wonderful food to match its extensive, reasonably priced wine list. The emphasis is on quality ingredients and rich sauces that pay off big-time on the pasta and fish entr

Pete’s Central One

You can’t spit an olive pit in this town without hitting one of late restaurateur Pete Contos’s establishments. Pete’s Central One is the most inexplicably named eatery in the group, but this location northwest of Washington Park is fairly central to most Denver diners looking for Greek cuisine in a comfortable, decades-old setting. This Pete’s […]

Pete’s Gyros Place

Unsurprisingly, Pete’s Gyros specializes in gyros — shaved off the stick, wrapped in griddled pitas with onions and tomatoes and graced with a generous handful of crumbled feta. It also offers burgers grilled at any hour, assembled with surprisingly fresh ingredients, and always served with bagged, frozen Sysco fries. There’s also a good souvlaki — […]

Pete’s Kitchen

While the diner scene has dwindled in Denver in recent years, the pancake-flipping neon chef above Pete’s Kitchen remains a beacon on East Colfax for those who need to sate their hunger in the darkest hours of the night – on weekends, at least, when the eatery keeps the grill hot all day and overnight […]

Peter’s Chinese Cafe

Since 1985, Peter Chan has overseen the action in the Congress Park neighborhood from his small eatery, where both he and his take on Chinese American fare have become a staple. When the craving for sesame chicken or moo shu pork strikes, give Peter’s a call (you won’t find it on any delivery apps). Most […]

Phil’s Place

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Phil’s Place is a dive bar, even though it’s certainly the most modest spot in this booming area of RiNo, across from both the Exdo Event Center and a new Chuburger. But Phil’s Place long pre-dates those spots; Phil Garcia bought the Our Place bar before RiNo was […]

Pho 79

Although known for hearty noodle soups brimming with slices of our favorite cuts of beef that we crave when the weather turns chilly, this outpost of Pho 79 also features regional Vietnamese specialties that are perfect any time of the year. On hotter days, we’re fond of sharing a plate of banh xeo – egg-and-rice-flour […]

Pho 79 III

Lunch is busy and dinner can be worse, so breakfast may be the time to try the bunkerish Pho 79. All they do here is pho — the slow-cooked broth-and-noodle soup served in shacks and noodle houses all over Vietnam — with about a dozen different varieties on the menu. Strange as it may seem […]

Pho 95

Every bowl of pho is just a little bit different, and every fan of Vietnamese cuisine has a preference. But Denver as a whole has latched on to Pho 95 as its favorite destination for big bowls of beefy broth and rice noodles. And that’s no wonder, as owner Aaron Le has delivered consistency and […]

Pho 95

The Pho 95 in the Streets at SouthGlenn isn’t quite the same as the original on South Federal Boulevard. For one thing, this outpost on South Vine Street has a much larger bar and a very respectable craft beer list; it even offers a decent list of sake. The kitchen here is also more expansive; […]

Pho Broadway

Pho is supposed to be comforting, reliable, stomach-filling and heartwarming, and that’s exactly what you’ll get at Pho Broadway, which has been satisfying customers with its clear, flavorful broth since 2017. The secret is in the traditional broth technique, which requires twelve hours’ time, allowing the flavors to fully develop. It serves as the rich […]

Pho Duy

Located in a sea of noodle shops along South Federal Boulevard, Pho Duy still serves the best pho in town from this former KFC it moved to in 2015. The aromatic broth, fresh and flavorful meats, and options far beyond the standards – there’s even a vegetarian broth – keep this pho joint on the […]

Pho Fusion

Pho Fusion covers four countries with a thirty-dish menu that includes pho, hot-and-sour and wonton soups, simple shrimp-lettuce-and-noodle spring rolls and deep-fried Vietnamese pork egg rolls. The food is fast, filling and good. Owner Tom Bird is deeply rooted in Denver’s Vietnamese community, and he’s onto something here — maybe the formula for a fast-food […]

Pho Lee

Pho Lee opened in Greenwood Village in 2012 and brought authentic Vietnamese cuisine to the Denver suburb. The restaurant space may be small, but the food is always fresh and the staff friendly and helpful. The founder had worked at the original Pho 95 with his brother before deciding to open his own restaurant; the […]

Phoenician Kabob

On East Colfax Avenue, restaurants tend to get lost in the long procession of storefronts, many in various states of disrepair. But Phoenician Kabob has managed to stay in people’s memories despite its setting. Silky hummus, housemade pita and perfectly prepared Middle Eastern standards (don’t miss the namesake kabobs) are all draws, but the details […]

Pica’s Mexican Taqueria

Another entrant in Boulder’s large Mexican realm, Pica’s features a menu of burritos, tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas that incorporate such upscale fillings as pork adobada, grilled mahi and chicken al carbon; there are also daily specials such as chile rellenos and tortas. You place your order at the counter, and the foil-wrapped entrees are delivered […]
