A5 Steakhouse

Denver was long thought of as a cowtown, and the steakhouse was central to the cuisine. While many old-school steakhouses are still slinging meat, A5, which opened in 2021, stands out as a modern, lively take on the classic concept. We love this spot for more than just the steaks (though those are excellent). You’re […]

Corrida

This Spanish-style eatery is known as much for its killer rooftop views of the Flatirons as its stellar food and drink. In 2021, the restaurant partnered with the Savory Institute’s Land to Market regenerative agriculture program, through which it sources sustainably raised beef for its steak-focused menu; that’s rounded out by a vast array of […]

Quality Italian

The Denver outpost of the NYC-based eatery opened in early 2017 and has been holding down its Cherry Creek spot with housemade pasta and decadent steaks since then. Diners can get bistecca “Italian style,” topped with truffle or Gorgonzola and horseradish butter, but the spot’s claim to fame is an enormous circular chicken parmesan, topped […]

Guard and Grace

Chef/restaurateur Troy Guard debuted Guard and Grace in 2013, and it instantly became one of Denver’s top steak destinations – no mean feat in a town known for its beef. A modern approach to service, plating and the meat itself – grass-fed and dry-aged steaks are offered alongside grain-fed choices – has kept the posh […]

Elway’s DIA

Cutting it close is the way to go when traveling by air; time wasted while wedged into an uncomfortable airport chair is time you’ll never get back – unless you choose to while away your extra travel time at Elway’s. If it’s your first day on vacation, you won’t mind splurging on steak and eggs, […]

Westerkamps Steakhouse and Meat Market

When Chris Gonzales and his father-in-law, Jaime Rizo, bought an old building in an industrial section of north Denver over a decade ago, it housed a grocery store and meat market that had opened when the neighborhood was filled with Germans. The pair decided to keep the name, converting the shop into a meat market […]

Four Seasons Hotel Denver

This towering downtown hotel boasts 239 rooms and suites, excellent views, fitness facilities, a pool and 24-hour access to its business center. Four Seasons is also home to Edge Restaurant & Bar, a sleek restaurant with a game-focused menu — filled out with steak, lamb and bison, with sides and sauces to match — and […]

Yard House

Steele Platt knows what Denver likes. Although the restaurateur, who had several places in the Tivoli in the ’80s, left Colorado decades ago, the Yard House chain that he founded in California in 1996 is also ideally suited for Colorado. For starters, beers are big at the Yard House – the restaurant has over a […]

EDGE Restaurant & Bar

The Four Seasons opened in Denver in the fall of 2010, another sign of the city’s evolution from a cowtown to a tourist destination, complete with moneyed visitors who now had a place to stay if the Ritz was booked. And with the opening of EDGE, the sleek restaurant in the Four Seasons, they also […]
