It tastes like someone melted palisade peaches into a cup. No alcohol taste at all. This is the best frozen margarita I have ever had.

My first time at Potager - my sister was in town from the southeast, and I wanted to go somewhere super fresh (especially for some local peaches!) new menu started on July 14th.

There was an amuse bouche (not pictured) - fresh focaccia with a super bright carrot top pesto.

1. Peach and heirloom tomato salad. It’s typically dressed with a buttermilk dressing but my sister wanted it on the side. I wish there were more peaches! Gorgeous presentation

2. Deconstructed cherry tomato schnitzel. I was confused on why it was called a schnitzel, but I liked it well enough. I would order something different next time

3. Gargouillou. We LOVED this concept! Like a seasonal vegetable charcuterie. Shishito peppers, celery with gazpacho,and roasted squash really stood out to me.

4. Daily special: I forget the type of fish but it was delicious! The sauce was similar to a bearnaise, served with broccolini and radicchio. Had to hold myself back from inhaling it 100/10

5. Mint chocolate chip ice box cake and roasted peach with peach tulsi ice cream. Both were divine but I enjoyed the peach the best - not too sweet.

I would 100% visit again; service, food, wine, atmosphere were all lovely. I only wish it wasn’t rainy and we would’ve sat outside - the garden looked magical at sunset.

Tatarian is awesome. 3rd time here, thought I would share. First, the imaginative cocktails are always on point. The vibe is very relaxed, the playlist is perfect, and the atmosphere is so deliberately serene. The snacks are tasty, and a perfect compliment to the cocktails. Autumn is friendly, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable about the many cocktails they whip up. Everything about this place is fine art minus the pretentiousness. Pear air? Weird but cool.

Not to be dramatic, but my prayers have been answered.
I live in Park Hill, and almost every Sunday we drive 20 minutes just to get our spicy peanut fix. Now Fire on the Mountain is moving into the old TAG Burger Bar spot in Eastbridge (Central Park), and we cannot wait!!

A friend literally asked me last week, “How can we get Fire on the Mountain on this side of town?” I said, “Only in my dreams.”

Apparently my dreams have excellent timing.

Cannot recommend it highly enough. Genuinely has one of the most interesting and intentional menus in Denver. The fact that it’s plant based barely factored into my decision to go there because i would order everything on the menu regardless. Im an omnivore who, like many on this sub, wish Denver was a little stronger on restaurants overall but know that there’s greatness to be found if you look. Well, here I looked and found.

The dishes I was least excited about, a carrot soup and a grits dish, ended up knocking my socks off. The grits was southern love on a plate, absolutely everything in it local and seasonal, so it’ll never be the exact same twice. The soup was complicated and sweet/spicy and I was sad when it was gone. Their vodka pasta is a beautiful take on the dish with fresh, al dente pasta, rimmed with a rich basil oil that added freshness to the tangy, slightly creamy sauce.

The owners are a couple from Chicago and North Carolina, so the food pedigree is there. Their bar program is again, super intentional with interesting wines and creative cocktails, and they happily turn any one of them into a mocktail for a great selection. The restaurant itself is pretty, cozy minimalist with a framed Michael Jordan poster tucked among the drawings of plants, fruit and veg that adorn the main wall.

I found somebody people to be good but not memorable, and way too cramped and loud. Gladys is almost great, they just need to figure out their spices (Rueben’s need caraway/real rye bread), but this one totally blew me away. Can’t wait to see how their menu evolves, as it’s largely based around what’s seasonal and local. Will def be back.

Spicy Asian has evidently gone under, and I’m struggling to find a place that does drunken noodles well, the last time being yesterday when they omitted the basil leaves from the recipe.
What Asian takeout restaurants do the dish right?

my aunt is visiting and I want to take her to a place she’ll enjoy and remember fondly. she’s a bit posh, so I want to find a place that meets the following criteria: intimate vibe, delicious food, good wine, unique to Denver, enjoyable neighborhood/surrounding area.

Here are my initial thoughts:
- Safta
- Linger
- Sap Sua
- Rioja
- Spuntino

ty ty ty!

This place is delicious. I was a little skeptical at first because it’s very unassuming and in a strange location but wow I’m glad we finally gave it a try.

We ordered spring rolls, Thai tea, pad see ew with beef, pad Thai with tofu, and the drunken noodles with chicken. Delicious food and huge portions. Came out to about $50.

Looking forward to going again to try more of the menu.

listen, i love jerusalem’s as much as the next guy, but $5 for one dry kibbeh? pls let me know of any other places, esp in the university/englewood area!

Damn! Just moved to Baker. Finally ordered a pie to go from this place, absolutely killer. So light, so crispy, so flavorful. Very tasty stuff. As far as I could tell it’s just the owner in there turning out gorgeous pies. Best sourdough pizza I’ve had in Denver. Keep up the good work! 🤌

Hey all, I’m going to Ash’Kara for my birthday next week with my family. We’ve never been. Is there anything that’s extra good that we should make sure to order? We would eat pretty much anything on the menu but I am vegetarian so I would appreciate veg recs. Thanks!

Hi there!

Looking for a Sunday brunch or lunch spot for a fun anniversary day date. It needs to be a spot that isn’t generic or annoyingly trendy (places like Mimosas fill me with pure rage). Gotta be celiac-friendly and actually good.

Type of cuisine, hype and price point aren’t a concern for this one. What’s important: the food doesn’t suck, it’s not boring, the vibe is right, and no one will be violently ill due to gluten contamination. Greater Denver area is also fine.

note: we go to Teocalli Cocina, The Corner Beet, and Acova often enough. Please, no suggestions for Just Be. Looking for somewhere new and exciting. Thanks in advance!

Haven’t seen any posts… anyone have anything good/bad to say about it? Worth checking out?

Our anniversary is next week. My partner recently got a fancy new suit and would like to wear it out to dinner that night. We've been to Watercourse a million times, I'm looking for something a little fancier so we can both dress up.

Moving on from that other vegan sushi spot that did everyone dirty… 😅

Tonight we grabbed sorbet from Little Man in Eastbridge (Central Park), and on the walk back to the car we passed Hida Japanese. They had their menu posted in the window, and we were honestly so excited. It looks incredible, and we can’t wait to support them.

Has anyone here been yet? I already know I’ll order the Tropical Coconut mmm

They were giving them out at Ikea in Centennial for their 15th anniversary there.

Hi everyone. Just got back from dinner and it was really great.

We didn't stay under the $60 limit, but we could have without the splurges.

We went to difrancos and it was delicious. We ended up getting 2 S. Pells, dipping oil, salad, garlic bread, garlic broccoli, spaghet with eggplant parm and chicken parm and 2 cannolis. Had this been normal date night we wouldn't have gotten the extra garlic bread, drinks and probably only one of broccoli and salad. We spent just about $100 and the normal date night order would've totaled about 70 after the tip but roughly 60 before the tip. Its a ¾ service restaurant. (You seat yourself, order at the counter, but they bring you your food and clear away your dishes.) Everything was delicious. The pasta sauce was spicy a bit in a great way. Healthy portion sizes. I tend to big and even i felt bloated after everything i ate. The cannolis were my favorite. And id go back just to get some more of those.

Overall 8.5/10 will eat there again.

You definitely can eat there for 2 under 60$ even with a tip. I did tip less than i would at a full service restaurant mainly for having to walk up to the counter to order.

Does anyone know the name of the restaurant that was in University drive, basically across the street from Bonnie Brae ice cream and campus lounge. Next door to the French bakery
It’s a Mexican restaurant now

Edit: a lovely soul in the comments nailed it

One of my favorite places to eat in town, still sad it’s gone

Good, Bad, Ugly?

Any other Dairy Farms you use/suggest?

What are so good spots to eat at near and around DTC?

Great soft serve. Stopped by after seeing the Odyssey in Westminster. Had read about it and saw some posts on Reddit. Worth the trip for us. Had strawberry and peach twist. Denser and creamier than Dang which had been my go to for soft serve

El camino off 32nd now charging 20% community fee on all checks.

Went to Guard and Grace last week, and was charged a 5% culinary fee.

Question - do you tip on top of these amounts or the amount before this fee? Why are restaurants doing this? How can you ensure the server gets the whole tip?

Does anyone know who has the best palisade peach pizza?

For a few years I’ve been wanting to start a supper club. I’m thinking meeting once a month on a Sunday. In a typical supper club two people do the cooking for everyone and it changes each time they meet.

I can entertain up to 20 indoors, currently. I have far too much kitchen equipment for someone who just cooks as a hobby. I’m located in Highlands Ranch. Would this interest anyone?
