5 Restaurants You HAVE to Try While Visiting Denver

Colorado, and especially Denver, has seen a lot of increased tourism over the past year or so, mostly due to the fact that a certain recreational activity was recently legalized. Whether or not you’re visiting for that or for the fact that the weather is almost always gorgeous, the scenery is amazing, and there’s a near-unlimited amount of things to do, you’re going to have to eat at some point. Instead of heading to the nearest chain restaurant, though, why not check out some of the best food that Colorado has to offer? Some of these restaurants aren’t unique to only Colorado, but all of them were started there, and if you get the chance to try them out, you won’t regret it.

Breakfast, Brunch: Snooze

Snooze is a breakfast restaurant that’s open for eight hours and busy the entire time.

• There’s almost always a wait, and they don’t take reservations, but the food and drinks are oh-so-worth it.
• Serving unique cocktails, pancakes, and benedicts, Snooze was almost instantly a success thanks to their kitschy decor, expert service, and delicious food.
• Even the wait to get in the door is fun thanks to cornhole, free coffee, and a buzzing atmosphere.

There are locations all around the Denver area.

Asian: Tokyo Joe’s

As the name may suggest, Tokyo Joe’s specializes in Americanized Japanese food, and in one word… it’s addicting.

• Whether you’re in the mood for sushi or a teriyaki steak and rice bowl, Tokyo Joe’s won’t disappoint.
• It’s fast-casual, so you can be in and out in minutes if you’d like to eat in one of Denver’s many beautiful parks, or you can stay in and enjoy the modern, hip atmosphere.
