If you want to dine at a fabulous restaurant that has the best views of the skyline, you should check out El Five. This tapas spot is upscale and exceptional, and you’ll love looking out the big windows or sitting on the terrace to take in some top-notch Denver views. Read on to learn more about El Five in Denver, Colorado, and get excited about this very special, well-rated, eclectic, and energetic restaurant.
El Five is one of the hippest places to eat in Denver.
El Five is on the fifth floor of a building in the Highlands neighborhood. Because it's across I-25 and the South Platte River from downtown, it is the perfect viewpoint to see the city - while still in the city.

You can eat inside and look out the floor-to-ceiling windows, or you can eat outside on the terrace.
The views are only half the fun, though. The food at El Five is excellent. Perhaps you'd like to start with this Lebanese Garlic Dip? It comes accompanied by olives, almonds, pomegranate, crudité, and house pita. ✨
The Coliflor Paella is impressive, too. It includes turmeric chicken, cauliflower rice, spring vegetables, pomegranate, spiced almonds, and onion jam. It's full of flavor.
You might opt for small plates. This is a tapas restaurant, after all. The Harissa Eggplant Fries are a tasty option. They come with crispy garlic, honey glaze, dill, mint, and lemon yogurt for topping.
These are just a few of the tapas options. There are so many more, like Matzo Ball Soup Dumplings, Chickpea Pancake "Tacos," Smoked Burrata, Kauai Shrimp, European Sea Bass, and others, too.
The desserts at El Five are wonderful, too. Isn't this Basque Cheesecake with Honeycomb Brittle, Macerated Grapes, and Cider Reduction just amazing?
If you’re hungry, then plan a trip to El Five! You’re going to love everything about it – from the food to the vibe to the views, this place truly has it all. Once you eat at El Five, you’ll want to come back time and time again, and it’s the perfect spot for a date or to bring out-of-towners.
