Blackbelly Market is the Denver outpost of the original in Boulder, which in turn is the breakfast-and-lunch spin-off of chef Hosea Rosenberg’s fine-dining restaurant Blackbelly. Here you can grab a breakfast burrito brimming with green chile (a specialty of New Mexico native Rosenberg) or go whole hog with house-cured salumi, charcuterie, deli meats and other […]

In 2023, the now Michelin-starred Id Est Hospitality group added a more casual spot to its roster with the opening of Hey Kiddo. Located on the third floor of the Asher, the aim was to create a place that’s “good and fun,” and damn, has the team delivered on that promise. The oysters, caviar and […]
Northside 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 2019, Fort Worth native Nick Prince opened Post Oak Barbecue after years of mastering his smoking skills at backyard cookouts and barbecue contests. This joint uses only post oak delivered from Austin and 100 percent wood-fire cooking to nail the flavor of Texas-style ’cue. The prime Angus brisket is a must, but you can […]

In 2022, Shawn Bergin’s popular Bakery Four moved into a space much larger than its previous Highland home, though the line still often snakes out the door.

Ramen Star opened on a quiet Sunnyside street in 2019 with a couple of secrets hidden inside. First: a high-tech noodle machine that allows the kitchen to turn out springy ramen noodles every day (when most ramen shops purchase pre-made noodles). Second: Its dedication to building layers of flavor in its broths using traditional ingredients […]
Since opening in a hundred-year-old building between Berkeley and Sunnyside in 2019, FlyteCo Brewing’s aviation theme has really taken off – and includes not just a salvaged plane wing at the entrance, runway striping on the floor and other aeronautical details, but a custom-built replica of the fuselage of a plane. Inside are jump seats, […]

Since getting its start in Sunnyside in 2014, this brunch-only spot has expanded with outposts in Littleton and on South Broadway. As the name says, it’s all about bacon here – bacon flights, bacon shrimp and grits, bacon and chocolate pancakes, bacon tots instead of traditional hash browns, a Bloody Mary made with bacon-infused vodka…. […]
Justin Cucci’s Edible Beats restaurant group (with Root Down, Linger and Ophelia’s already in the bag) turned its attentions toward the casual side of dining with this meatless eatery on Tennyson Street.

The tiny kitchen at La Fuente – a groovy, low-rent Mexican joint – turns out big flavors in all its food, but one of the largest draws to this Highland eatery is the plump breakfast burritos. There are nearly a dozen manifestations of them, all featuring soft scrambled eggs and shards of crisp-edged potatoes with […]
Since it debuted in 2010, Hops & Pie has been a go-to for beer lovers, thanks to its long, ever-rotating tap list and lots of special hop-fueled events. In 2023, it debuted a new, expansive patio, which is an ideal place to settle in with a cold one and a slice of sourdough-crust pizza – […]
