Denver restaurants you'll love

Top restaurants in Denver, Colorado

Of all cities in Colorado, Denver has the widest variety of trendy restaurants, serving every cuisine you can imagine. The Mile High City's claim to fame may not be its restaurant scene, but it should be! Denver has you covered whether you're having a night out in Five Points or a walk along the 16th Street Mall. Stop by and check out the vibe for yourself if you're new to town. There's no shortage of places for a quick bite to eat or a long, conversation-filled dinner too.

Some of the cuisine you'll find in Denver includes Mexican fare, tapas, fresh seafood, and classic American. Yum! Here, you’ll find Asian foods, high-end dining, pubs aplenty, and a popping nightlife every weekend. For a more relaxing experience, you can’t go wrong with Laramie Square or Uptown, Denver’s most walkable neighborhood.

That’s what's great about Denver's restaurant scene. There aren't many major cities in the US with large pedestrian-friendly areas, a perfect backdrop for bustling restaurants, bars, and brewpubs. Eating at any restaurant in RiNo (the cool name for Five Points) is almost a rite of passage for the young, hip crowd. Looking for a more refined experience? Then Capital Hill, north of downtown, is just right for you.
