The day is finally here — after many twists and turns and much anticipation, the Denver Cat Company is now open for business, serving coffee and kitty love on Tennyson Street in the Berkeley neighborhood. Eight adoptable cats will be in house, courtesy of the Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue, at…
Tengu opened earlier this week with almost no advance notice, no website and not even a sign with the ramen shop’s name on the outside of the building. Tucked into the back corner of the Industry development on Brighton Boulevard, it would be easy to mistake it for a loading…
With the season changing soon, so are the menu items at many restaurants. This week, the love child of modern dining and comfort food, Steuben’s, has added several items to its always-tasty menu. (Don’t worry, the crispy Brussels sprouts aren’t going away. Ever.) One noteworthy change to the menu lives…
This week Gretchen Kurtz reviews Adelitas Cocina Y Cantina, a welcoming spot whose deals are undeniable — but a few dishes there could use some work, she says. Or not, respond readers. “Whoever wrote this is an idiot,” writes one. “Maybe you should go to the doctor and get your…
Denver is gearing up for the holidays and there is plenty of cheer, beer, films, and festivals to go around this weekend. The Sie FilmCenter will be screening a holiday favorite, a local confectioners factory will be transformed into a sweet winter wonderland, you can dine with Santa and plenty…
Ambitious downtown eatery Stout Street Social opened today, with an intentionally eclectic menu for an area that’s thick with businesspeople, tourists, conventioneers and theater-goers but isn’t necessarily known as a destination dining zone (unless you think Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is a great destination). Concept Restaurants, which operates a handful…
For the second year in a row, Denver International Airport has been named one of the top ten airports in the United States for healthy options by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization.

Biju’s Little Curry Shop hums with color and spice, the result of owner and chef Biju Thomas’s childhood in the state of Kerala, India. Biju’s opened earlier this week, serving curries and other delights from southern India; Thomas says more unique dishes will be available starting next week when his…
Lower48 Kitchen has gotten a lot of attention for refined food served in an accessible way. The “Each” menu, with small bites on offer for only a few bucks apiece, helped capture our imagination and snag Westword’s Best New Restaurant award this year. In ideology and presentation, this approach isn’t…
Apparently someone took the word “house” in the name of downtown beer bar Yard House a little too literally. As 9 News reported yesterday, a man who had been living in the ceiling above the 16th Street Mall restaurant had to be rescued after he became stuck in a wall…
The only thing hotter than good green chile? The discussion over which state has the better version — New Mexico or Colorado. Mark Antonation is on a verde journey this month in Ethniche, and his recent visit to Tacos Jalisco sparked another round in the NM v. CO debate –…

If you’re stressed about traveling this holiday season, try this: head to Ace for a ticket to a remote Pacific island. That ticket is a tiki-inspired cocktail created last week by bar manager Randy Layman, who calls it the Mount Fuji. It’s his latest addition to Ace’s cocktail menu, and…
As major fans of savory breakfasts, we love a good plate of eggs Benedict. There’s something about the combination of a soft poached egg, a crunchy English muffin and a lake of creamy sauce kissed with lemon that makes for the perfect kick-start to a morning or a cure for…
Erich Rosenberg talks fast and moves between subjects even faster. You might blame it on the coffee; after all, he’s the head roaster for Novo Coffee, so continuous coffee-tasting is a big part of his job. But after you listen for a few minutes, it’s clear that his energy is…
Mark Antonation is dreaming of a green Christmas, and so he’s spooning up green chile all month in Ethniche. Yesterday his quest took him to Tacos Jalisco — not that you’re going to find Colorado-style green chile in Jalisco, Mexico. What you’ll find at Denver’s Tacos Jalisco is Colorado gravy,…

Whether you’re traveling for work or vacation, there’s nothing more depressing than the standard hotel restaurant. Kept in business by expense accounts and timid tourists, most offer little more than tired bar fare designed to appeal to the masses. Hotels can get away with 3 a.m. room-service club sandwiches, but…
