Reader: I Like the Variety of the Denver Restaurant Scene

With the Michelin Guide announcement that it will now be doing a Denver (and some mountain towns) edition — and already has eaters on duty in Colorado — local diners are wondering who’ll make the cut.

But in their comments on the Westword Facebook page, some lament the spots that have closed since the pandemic hit: CityGrille, Domo, Annie’s Cafe, Racines — which also rates as one of the essential places where one diner could eat every day. Says Jill:

If I could eat at only one restaurant for the rest of my life? That’s a tough question. I like the variety of the Denver restaurant scene. Can we bring back Racines?

Adds Andrew:

The one with the largest and most diverse menu. Which, sadly, probably means Cheesecake Factory. Maybe there’s a locally owned diner with nearly as large a menu?

Responds Matt:

Sam’s No. 3. I’ve done it before.

Seconds Graeme:

That would be my choice, because of the size of the menu.

Wonders Tim:

You buying? Then the Capital Grille.

Asks Lindsey:

Can I alternate between Guard and Grace and Sushi Den and have someone else pay?

Complains MH:

Food is all very bland out here!!!

Counters Matt:

 I guess that’s why Denver is now going to be a part of the Michelin food guide now!

If you could only eat at one metro Denver restaurant, which one would it be? Post a comment or share your thoughts at editorial@westword.com.
