The Absolute BEST Restaurants in Denver — My List

Real estate agents are the devil. Don’t trust a word they say. lol, jk?

Cherry Tomato!!!!!!

Can you give me some of your fav local coffee shops in Denver please. Planning a trip this winter and want to hit up local spots, not just chains like Starbucks. Thank you for this video and for the breakfast video too. I took all of them down for our trip. We will only be in Denver for about 3 days so we will not get to try them all. Any must do/see spot for a winter Trip (late December/ early January time) Also if you have any recommendation for food and coffee in Telluride we plan to go there too. - thank you so much Michelle from Destin, FL

You forgot the best seafood restaurant in Colorado “ MARISCOS EL REY” ,Sinaloa style seafood restaurant, they have over 150 dishes on their menu,including sushi , ceviches , aguachiles , fish , octopus , Mexican dishes , and seafood and an incredible cocktail menu , the owner is from Sinaloa , Mexico and living in colorado for over 20 years !!!!!!!!

I am a Colorado Native and have visited many restaurants here.
My favorites in no particular order
1. Guard and Grace
2. Bistro Vendome
3. Shanahan’s
4. Fogo De Chao
5. Sushi Den or Iziyaka Den
6. Perfect Landing
7. Cherry Creek Grill

No one visits Denver from southern Colorado or from overseas.

Great list, Sam! Really miss the intimate horseshoe bar at bistro vendome.. perfect place to have a before dinner cocktail, or just relax and chat with other patrons. upscale/approachable.. like you could be in the middle of Paris.

Ocean prime was my fave their service is great 😊

Cholon is probably originated from District 5 Area in Ho Chi Minh City VietNam. Spelled Chợ Lớn meaning Big Market. I believe it’s pronounced “Ch” as in church. 😊

Great informative video with personal local favorites. Thnx a lot. Will try some of these establishments when visiting in the near future 🎉

Coming to Denver next week from the east cost. Going try the French Onion Soup Dumplings @ Cholon, thanks so much!

Never go to ginger pig, whole kitchen full of addicts not checking food temps. Gross

This was really great! I haven't had Sushi since I moved here and Cholon sounds terrific too---i love eating good food and am not interested in any chain restaurants either so this caught my attention.

This came up in my recommended and I planned to hate, but this is very close to my list. Completely agree about Cherry Tomato.

Great video Sam, what are your favorite steakhouses? Not for the price but for quality, taste, and flavor! Shanhans and Del Frisco were great, Bastien's good too. Let me know!

Wait you forgot Carbona

In 1995 i went to Denver and I like to eat in champion restaurant in larmur square

uncle…for ramen. Hard to beat. Also…cart-driver. Ok I’m done lol.

Tavernetta and Sushi Den yes! I also love Barcelona, The Kitchen and uchi. But I’m biased, I have personal connections with their c-level leadership. I’m still watching all your vids to keep tabs on Denver. There’s a possible return down the road!

On your recommendation we went to Cholon that night and really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for the heads up!

Great video! Would you consider doing a video on best Mexican on a budget? My favorite is El Jardin in Commerce City. El Jardin's salsa is incredibly good, even addictive! Also, Senor Ric in Aurora is very good.

Now I have several places to visit, thank you!
