Yak & Yeti Restaurant and Entertainment Center is familiar to those with a thirst for craft beer and a hunger for Nepalese and Indian food.

Sojourners is the quintessential neighborhood coffee shop, a sneaky little spot tucked away in a strip mall in the Virginia Village neighborhood. Sojo’s, as it’s known by patrons, has walls adorned with local art, plentiful seating options and a true living-room feel that no chain can ever capture. Along with an assortment of specialty lattes […]
High Point owners Erika Thomas and Chad Stutz formulate each batch of their ice cream with the minds of chefs and the spirits of giddy children. So nearly every flavor has a little surprise, whether it’s the curious hint of miso in the cherry-chocolate or the bursts of violet fudge that hide in a creamy […]
After getting its start in California, Bruxie chose Colorado for its first out-of-state store, opening on South Colorado Boulevard in early 2014. “We knew we wanted to take our concept out of Orange County, and as we were thinking of cities that really appreciate good food, Denver, from our perspective, was front and center as […]

Inga’s was inspired by a Swedish ski cabin, and the battle-scarred hardwood floors look as though they’ve been deliberately dented by the stomp of ski boots. Meanwhile, tufted, swiveling, brass-studded […]

The homegrown Park Burger is growing into a mini-chain; it’s turning into the grill next door. The original was opened in Platt Park by Frank Bonanno’s one-time right-hand guy, Jean-Philippe Failyau, who stuck with a simple formula that proved so winning, he’s opened several more locations in neighborhoods around town. Park Burger doesn’t keep a […]
Thai Pot Cafe got its start in a small space on South Colorado Boulevard and moved into its current large and airy home a few blocks away in 2014. While there’s a lot to love on the menu, it’s the drunken noodles that have become a best seller. There’s always a nice char on the […]
Dubbed “your best friend’s bar,” the Watering Bowl is a dog-friendly spot housed in the former Priddy Auction Galleries space on Leetsdale Drive. Although dogs aren’t actually allowed inside of the 13,000-square-foot bar, there are 7,000 additional square feet outside for a fenced-in private dog park. The Watering Bowl has a fully stocked regular bar […]
“Welkome to the Party.” That’s the motto for Comrade Brewing, which opened in southeast Denver in 2014 with “back-to-basics” beers — like a kolsch, an IPA, an Irish red and a milk stout — and a tongue-in-cheek nod to Communism. But owner David Lin says he’s really celebrating the camaraderie that the craft brewing industry […]
Many people dream about doing something different with their lives. Yaffa Hanouna, chef-owner of Yaffa’s Savory, actually did it. After fifteen years as the director of two preschools in Aurora, in early 2013 she opened Yaffa’s Savory, a Mediterranean cafe and market at 2200 South Monaco Parkway. The jump was not as sudden as it […]

The bakers at Izzio Artisan Bakery (formerly Udi’s) sell loaves of bread all over the Front Range, providing the staple for restaurants and filling home bread boxes via farmers’ markets and Whole Foods. And in Glendale, the bread’s available at Silvi’s Kitchen, a restaurant that occupies a vast corner spot in the CitySet development. Those […]
Slotted Spoon Meatball Eatery, which opened in early 2013 in the University of Denver neighborhood, is a meatball-slinging version of Chipotle, the fast-casual chain that got its start just a few blocks away. And co-owners Alex Comisar, Johnny Coast and Jensen Cummings have come up with what looks like a winning concept with their colorful […]
