Showing 1 - 22 of 353The owners of the Hornet have already had success building a neighborhood spot on Broadway. Now they’ve done the same at Acova, which opened in the spring of 2018 in the space that was Patsy’s for almost 100 years. Extensive renovations have resulted in a contemporary, whimsical and welcoming restaurant, with ostrich heads painted on […]
After a head-on motorcycle accident derailed his career in finance, Blaine Baggao re-evaluated his professional path, ultimately launching Adobo in 2016 as a food truck that combines his New Mexican and Filipino roots. Its first brick-and-mortar is an expansive space that hosts live music and serves food into the late-night hours, with a menu of […]
Ali Baba is a Lebanese restaurant, a Persian restaurant, a Mediterranean restaurant with hints of Syrian and Saudi Arabian modernity and haute cuisine. It’s also a mini-chain with locations in Denver, Golden and Boulder, all of which offer the same comfortable, slightly foreign setting, the same attentive service, the same expansive menu. Our favorites include […]
Alive Herbal Medicine seems out of place. Not because it’s situated in the small Sunnyside neighborhood next to a residential area, or because the corrugated tin barn of a building looks like it belongs on a farm and not off a busy interstate in the middle of Denver.

Chef-owner Johnny Curiel’s first solo venture, the highly anticipated Alma Fonda Fina, opened in December 2023, and less than a year later, it earned one Michelin star.

American Elm opened in 2019 with a seasoned pro calling the shots. Taking inspiration from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where owner Bob Reiter previously lived, the restaurant is a neighborhood bistro with an elevated approach that makes it worth a trip to Highland, if that doesn’t happen to be your neighborhood. And the bar offerings are among […]
Araujo’s occupies a modest storefront across from a Safeway and smack in the middle of the Best Breakfast Burrito Neighborhood; Araujo helped the area win that title with its 99-cent to-go burritos. But Araujo offers so much more: There’s the daily Mexican buffet, filled with the greatest hits of Den-Mex cuisine: good green chile, excellent […]

Not content to cater just to […]
