Watercourse is the first vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to, and I was pleasantly surprised. My friend and I went to breakfast there and got to sit on the patio and soak up the sun. I wasn’t sure what to order, or what a good amount of the words were on the menu, like tempeh … [Read more…]
A few weeks ago, my foodie friend invited me to happy hour at Lola while they were featuring a special menu for the night. Several Denver chefs had gotten together and formed a collaboration menu called La Cosecha. The purpose was to celebrate fresh Colorado produce and fresh seafood.

It’s located on 17th, close to Downing, and has great inside or patio seating. In true café style, you order at the counter. I got … [Read more…]

Located in RiNo, this small, yet funky restaurant, serves up incredibly flavorful and fresh bowls of goodness. The menu is small, but full of favorites such as Vindaloo and Curry. I got … [Read more…]

After a long hike, all I want is a delicious burger and a cold beer. We like to hike around the Nederland area, and recently had enough time in our schedules to stop at a local bar before heading back to Denver. 1st Street Pub is your quintessential mountain dive bar, AND they have phenomenal burgers.
