Western Cuisine & Steakhouses

Ribeyes, sirloins, flanks, strips, porterhouses, t-bones and tenderloins – you name it, the Mile High City has got it. Denver steaked its culinary name on cattle cutlets, so if you’re in the mood for a cooked-to-perfection serving of USDA prime grade beef, this is the place. The city also offers diners a chance to sample authentic Western cuisine (big game, elk, bison – even Rocky Mountain Oysters) in unique, Wild West settings.

Beer, Microbreweries & Brewpubs

Denver brews more beer than any other city with 80 different beers brewed here daily. Relax with the locals in one of Lower Downtown's many brewpubs, take a tour of a local microbrewery, and discover the wide world of beer during Denver Beer Fest and the Great American Beer Festival, held every fall (September 2010).

Innovative, Chef-Owned Eateries

With Denver chefs earning national acclaim (six were nominated for James Beard House Foundation Awards – the “Oscars of Food” – in 2010), the Mile High City’s cuisine scene has moved bravely onto the cutting edge. In these chefs' hands, bold, Pacific-Rim fusions and comfort food transform into mouth-watering masterpieces, and traditional ethnic dishes become new again. Thanks to these creative culinary minds, dining in Denver has never been better.

Local Food

Mile High City chefs have been taking advantage of the wide array of local agriculture producers in Colorado for years now, creating amazing dishes that are fresh, delicious and eco-friendly. Colorado offers free-range meats, artisan cheeses, and fresher-than-fresh fruit and produce.

Neighborhoods

From Downtown and beyond, each of Denver's unique neighborhoods offers a diverse selection of bistros, taverns, brewpubs, family friendly restaurants and fine dining.
