2025 Denver Restaurant Week Menus Are Here!

Visit Denver launched Denver Restaurant Week in 2005 as a way to boost the city's dining reputation; ever since, the annual celebration of the local food scene has helped diners discover new favorites and enjoy deals at beloved standbys. Now, menus have been released for the 21st edition of the event, which runs March 7-16.

In its first year — back when all the DRW specials were priced at $52.80 per couple — 83 restaurants participated. In the two decades since, the deal has changed and the dining scene has grown. This year, there are nearly 250 participating restaurants to choose from, including some from our Top 100 Restaurants list. Each is offering multi-course menus at one of four price points: $25, $35, $45 or $55 per person.

To explore the full list of menus, visit denverresataurantweek.com, where you can search by price point, neighborhood, amenities and dietary restrictions, including vegan and vegetarian options.

Now is the time to start digesting all the details and booking reservations before they're gone. Here are five of our recommendations for the best places to dine during Denver Restaurant Week 2025:
If you haven't eaten much African fare, African Grill and Bar in Lakewood is the ideal place to learn more about the wide-ranging cuisine; owners Sylvester and Theodora Osei-Fordwuo serve food from a variety of regions. The $45 DRW deal includes vegetable, chicken or beef samosas to start; soup, stew, rice and fufu with an option of beef or chicken; and banana cake with chocolate topping for dessert.

One of our favorite bars in town, Dew Drop Inn in Uptown, is offering a $25 DRW deal that includes any of its fries, shareables or Spanish and Mediterranean dips to start, followed by any of its sandwiches or plates, including gluten-free fried chicken and tacos.

The Regular in LoDo, a fine dining stunner from Syd Younggreen and her husband, chef Brian de Souza, serves up eye-catching, modern platings with touches inspired by de Souza’s Peruvian heritage. Get a taste with its three-course DRW menu for $55. The first is a choice of chorito a la chalaca (Peruvian-style mussels) or papa a la huancaina (Peruvian potatoes with spicy yellow pepper sauce, Kalamata olives and chalaquita, a type of salsa). Up next, choose from duck leg and frites or grilled cauliflower, followed by two dessert choices: the Sphere made with almond cake, mascarpone mousse, blonde chocolate cremeux and espresso; or Fire & Ice, comprising lemon sorbet, habanero granita and urfa chile.

Fish N Beer in RiNo has a lot to choose from for its three-course, $45 DRW menu. First-course selections include baby kale salad, sole ceviche or coconut mussels. For mains, opt from such choices as the Fish N Beer Basket, seafood pasta or grilled chile relleno. Then pick from a duo of desserts: key lime pie or tiramisu chocolate cake.

Coperta chef and owner Paul Reilly was recently named a James Beard Award semifinalist. Now, his Uptown Italian eatery is getting ready to dish up a four-course DRW meal for $45 that includes black olive polenta fritters or roasted fennel to start, followed by bucatini al'amatriciana or busiate. Choose from gnocchi all Romana or papperdelle withduck leg ragu for your main, and enjoy chocolate budino for dessert.
