The chef who opened this restaurant won the "Top Chef" (television show) competition. I have been going to this restaurant for 14 years and never once had a bad meal. Very consistent. It's located on historic Larimer Street, Denver city's oldest street.

Make sure to book far in advance! In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Denver. But it is pricey and portions are small. Located near union station. If you want to go all out with the fancy, then stop in nearby Cooper Lounge for a drink too.

Ever had mac and cheese pizza? You can now. Ian's is affordable and tasty. Get pizza by the slice here. Try a few different slices, including the mac and cheese… check out the lively scene at McGregor square nearby

The best tacos in town. Affordable pricing, especially for how high the quality is. There are three locations. Two of which are equal distance from City Cabin. The third is a bit further away, but doesn't usually have a wait. I recommend calling each to check on wait times

Brunch

Denver is a city that brunches; I mean seriously loves its brunching. So much so that I often wonder if anyone has a job here. Good brunch spots are packed EVERY DAY of the week starting at 10am.

There are a few locations. If you choose the one in Union Station, then make to get on the waiting list (available on Yelp app). It is not unusual for the wait to be 1.2 - 2 hours, so plan ahead. The food is worth it, but adding yourself to the online waiting list is a must. Awesome pancakes

If you have a hang over, this is the breakfast/bruch spot for you. Great portion sizes, comfort food, and always bustling. But the restaurant is large and efficient so the wait time isn't usually bad

Just a drop dead gorgeous turn-of-century designer bar. Take your drink to-go if you want, stroll out the back door, and wander through Denver's "Dairy Block" while your there.

Fantastic boutique grocery market. Has fresh selections and lots of local Colorado foods. Look out for the price tag though, it can make Whole foods look affordable. But if you're making a special meal, this is THE place to shop.
