In 2021, the former Pour House space (that bar moved across the street) became a little slice of New Orleans in Denver with the debut of Nola Jane. This lively spot serves Cajun and Creole favorites like po’boys, jambalaya, gumbo and crawfish étouffée, as well as Hurricanes on draft, all with a side of Southern […]

The father-and-sons owners of Novo Coffee — Herb, Jake and Joe Brodsky — are passionate about getting the best cup of coffee possible into the hands of consumers. So they spend a lot of time forging relationships, searching for beans and perfecting the processing of their coffee. This search for perfection leads them to Ethiopia, […]
Ocean Prime has sailed into the last major space in Larimer Square, and things are going swimmingly for this “modern supper club,” the latest from Cameron Mitchell, an Ohio restaurateur who launched the progenitor of Ocean Prime in Columbus in 2006. The concept may come from the Midwest, but it fits right into Denver, with […]
No one can accuse Odell Brewing Co. of growing too quickly; after all, the early craft brewer didn’t open a second taproom until June 2018, almost thirty years after it started brewing in Fort Collins. Now it’s expanded into the RiNo neighborhood, taking up residence in a century-old building and updating it with a second-story […]
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, […]

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 […]
If you’re over Benedicts and scrambles, Onefold is ready to make eggs interesting again. The original Uptown location opened in 2015 and quickly gained a following for such dishes as bacon fried rice (or a Chinese sausage version) topped with a duck fat-fried egg, and congee (a savory rice porridge) with rich duck confit and […]
Justin Cucci has already experienced wild success with Linger and Root Down, and Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox, which opened in April 2015 in the Ballpark neighborhood, is even more ambitious. Cucci calls the space a “gastro-brothel,” since it occupies the ground floor and basement of the Airedale building, which has been a bordello, flophouse and peep-show […]
A Filipino/American (among other influences) food cart, The Orange Crunch provides something that’s lacking in Denver restaurants-true Filipino street food. Inspired by co-owner Leshner del Rosario’s hometown of Batac, Philippines, the cart gets its name from its signature empanadas – bright orange dough surrounding egg, mung bean, green papaya and your choice of meats from […]
Chef/restaurateur Jeff Osaka closed his labor of love, 12@Madison, in 2020, but his deft culinary touches can still be experienced through Osaka Ramen’s tight menu of Japanese small plates, bento boxes and, of course, steamy noodle bowls. Flavorful broths made from pork and chicken – or Thai-style green curry for a meatless option – bob […]

In 2007, things like burrata, housemade salumi and Sunday pig roasts weren’t part of the Italian-restaurant lexicon in Denver, but restaurateur Frank Bonanno made them household phrases, serving less common regional dishes alongside pizza and panini to help demystify the more esoteric side of Italian cuisine. These days, Negronis, fresh Italian cheeses and boards of […]
Hanging out at the OMF taproom is like being at a house party; there are often more folks standing around than sitting down. They’re part of a fun, diverse and younger crowd than you find at your typical brewery. The beer matches that demographic as well – IPAs, lagers, and barrel-aged, smoked and experimental beers. […]

The kitchen at P.F. Chang’s is a machine, pumping out plates by the thousands every day, each one perfectly in line with the corporate recipes that have made this one of the most successful chains in the country. Fortunately, some of those plates — like the fat shrimp dumplings and Cantonese roasted duck — would […]
What Denver power brokers, money-drenched tourists and suited tots forced by their parents to adopt the Emily Post regimen would do without this bastion of elegance in the Brown Palace is anyone’s guess. The Palace Arms dances to Old World sensibilities and is one of the last high-end standbys in the city, where pinstripes and […]
Maybe naming your doughnut business after a worldwide airborne disease is a little irreverent, but Pandemic Donuts was born of the difficult times created by COVID-19 and the ensuing restaurant restrictions. Gabrielle Henning and Michael Milton were laid off from their restaurant-industry jobs when the pandemic hit in March 2020, so they turned to doughnuts […]
