The 11 Places You Should Eat In Denver In 2017

What began as a vision for a dream home quickly turned into a restaurant (to fund the building the elaborate adobe-style house) and Denver institution! The next time you are wanting a break for the ordinary, look no further than this historic establishment and its mouthwatering menu options.

Established in 1893, the Buckhorn Exchange was originally started by Buffalo Bill scout band member Henry H. "Shorty Scout" Zietz as a place for miners, cattle ranchers, gamblers, businessmen, and Indian chiefs alike to enjoy a hearty, home-cooked meal. Today, this long standing tradition is still a favorite amongst locals and cooks up some of the best Rocky Mountain Oysters in the state!

With convenient locations in Lakewood, Westminster, and along South Broadway, you are never too far away from what we consider to be the best green chile in Denver.

If you are craving a remarkable meal with equally remarkable views, look no further than Flagstaff; a 5-star dining experience that is situated atop Boulder's picturesque Flagstaff Mountain.

The next time you have company, bring them to White Fence Farms, which features not only a drool-worthy family-style fried chicken dinner, but a number of other surprises like a petting zoo, country store, and playgrounds for the littles!

You have seen the iconic sign, but just what is this building? Why, it's Linger; one of Denver's most popular restaurants that is housed inside the historic Olinger Mortuary! (When you visit, keep your eyes peeled for the not-so-subtle nods at the building's past, like formaldehyde water bottles, a re-purposed coffin table, and other quirky -- albeit morbid -- touches.)

Now here is something you don't see everyday: a historic brothel and saloon turned hip eatery and concert venue! See what all the fuss is about when you take in Ophelia's eclectic menu, saucy ambiance, and amazing local musicians.

Not only is Yak and Yeti home to the Denver-area's best Nepalese cuisine, but also the (friendly) ghost of former owner, Cora Van Voorhis!

Tucked away amidst the mountains near Boulder, the Gold Hill Inn is the epitome of quaint with its historic log cabin setting! When you go, be sure to check their music schedule, as nothing goes with an incredible 6-course meal quite like the sounds of local crooners.
