My Denver Restaurant Recommendations

If you have been following me for a while on socials, you know that I am a hugeeee foodie! I have always said that my dream is to one day have a food review page where I just go around to all the restaurants in Denver and give my honest reviews of the food for you all. Food is just such a source of happiness for me and I would love to share that with the world. But life is a bit crazy as of now….so manifesting that for the future lol. 

Anyways, so many people ask me for recommendations for the best food spots to check out while in Denver, so I thought I would give you a breakdown of some of my very favorite Denver restaurants. Whether you are from out of town or already live in Colorado and are looking for something new, these restaurants are all places that I highly recommend you visit!! 

Uchi might be my very favorite at the moment. My faves tend to shift depending on the mood I am in lol but this place… it has gotten SO popular that you need to book out weeks in advance. It is pretty expensive but it is, in my opinion, the BEST sushi place in Denver. 

When you and your best friend call a restaurant “home”... that’s when you know you go way too often lol. My Neighbor Felix is one of my all time favorite restaurants here in Denver. Their skinny margs are sooooo yummy and they have lots of good food options too! The vibes are just so much fun and it’s always an amazing spot to meet with your friends for happy hour. I get the vegan tacos (I know it sounds weird but plz trust me on this one) and I crave them everyday.

If you like sushi you HAVE to check out Matsuhisa. They have some of the best sushi in Denver and it is such a great spot for a little date night. This restaurant is located in the Cherry Creek area of Denver which is such a beautiful area and right next to the mall if you want to do a little shopping before dinner. The Miso Chilean Sea Bass is one of my favorite things to get here.

For those nights when you’re just looking for a casual night in….Blue Pan is the place to go!! In my opinion they have the best pizza in Denver. Our favorite pizza to get is the Brooklyn Bridge with banana peppers (order is New York style)….so yummy. 

Ok if you are craving some insanely good Italian food you have to try Jovanina’s Broken Italian. If you have the option to be sat in the basement I highly recommend it!! It’s such a good vibe. And get the Elk Bolognese ok? 

My health nut self is absolutely obsessed with this place. They do have a few around the country so some MIGHT say it is nothing special… but I think it’s one of the best out there. So many nutrient dense options and extremely fresh. If you are looking for both flavor and nutrients, this is the place for you!! 

Okay I know this one technically is not a restaurant….but I just couldn’t write this post without also recommending Little Man ice cream!! I know the line can be long…but I promise you it is so worth it. If you have never tried it before you HAVE to get the salted oreo flavor…it is to die for (Steve literally has a pint of it every single night lol). 

I could go on talking about this forever, but I don’t want to overwhelm you with options, so these are my very top favorite places I recommend you check out in Denver. From one foodie to another, I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope it got you extra hungry and extra excited to visit Denver for all the amazing food. You really cannot go wrong with whatever you choose in the list above!! 

XOXO, TAY
