Leven Deli Co.

Leven Deli makes pastrami from scratch, starting with whole beef brisket that’s cured before being smoked in a process that takes a total of twelve days. Then, it’s loaded up on fresh-baked rye or sourdough bread for an eye-rolling combo of homemade goodness. While the Golden Triangle spot doesn’t have the broad range of classic […]

Liks Ice Cream Parlor

Liks is a Capitol Hill mainstay that continues to attract both children and meandering urban couples, in warm weather and in cold, who appreciate the shop’s dedication to craft that produces damn good ice cream (yogurt and sherbet, too). Each batch is made in lots of twelve gallons or less, for the sake of the […]

Limon

Small, weird, uncommon and devilishly crowded at its peak is not the a standard recipe for wild restaurant success. But in Limon’s warm storefront space, chef-owner Alex Gurevich has singlehandedly sold Denver on authentic Novoandino cuisine — a combination of modern Peruvian flavors and classical French technique that’s complex, comforting and delicious all at the […]

Lincoln Park Lounge

Before the Lincoln Park Lounge moved into 778 Mariposa Street, its predecessor, the West Side Bar, sold T-shirts that read, “Denver’s Favorite Sketch-Ass Bar Since 1934.” But the place was actually the friendliest bar on a sketchy block. When Lincoln Park took over the space in 2014, it got nice a remodel without losing much […]

Little Arthur’s

Denver diners first got a taste of AJ Shreffler’s Philly-inspired eats via his popular hoagie pop-up, but since moving his operation into a permanent home inside Out of the Barrel Taproom in August 2024, he’s proven that his culinary prowess goes far beyond sandwiches. Although the hoagies on housemade sesame-seeded rolls are still a menu […]

Little India

Little India’s take on Indian food is an odd mix of regional specialties, all cooked in the tradition of northern Indian cuisine by a Punjabi chef. The menu is long and dignified, showcasing the curries and masalas that even casual Indian-food eaters would recognize, as well as five kinds of saag, specialties of Madras, Danshak, […]

Little Ollie’s

Little Ollie’s has held down its corner of Cherry Creek for over two decades, and it never stops making improvements. Over the years, sushi and more healthful items, like dishes that focus on local ingredients, have been added. But the classics remain some of the favorites of the Little Ollie’s regulars – fried dumplings; Peking […]

The Living Room

The bubble chairs that hang from the Living Room’s patio roof are a fun addition to this hip wine and tapas bar, which gives the Broadway club scene a needed dose of chill. For the more ambitious, a nifty pre-paid “debit card” and in-house wine preservation system allows you to sample and learn about a […]

Lo Stella Ristorante

The Golden Triangle space that houses Lo Stella Ristorante has seen a number of Italian joints come and go. But Lo Stella has history on its side: It’s an offshoot of Lo Stella in Portofino, Italy, which has been turning out family recipes and regional specialties for 165 years. This outpost is owned by Alessandro […]

Local Product of Colorado

Local Product of Colorado is located just a few blocks from the Civic Center. The dispensary is known for its delicious hash menu, with concentrates from nine different Colorado hash-makers. That exclusivity, on top of member benefits, is why discreet patients and retail customers love the place. Floor-to-ceiling wood paneling gives the clean dispensary a […]
