5 innovative restaurants to seek out in Denver
by OpenTable team
Updated 21 December 2022
Denver’s most innovative restaurants stand out for being vessels of education, champions of inclusivity, and truly technique-obsessed.
In Lone Tree, an inventive, India-born chef sidesteps tradition by using French techniques on his spice-laden sauces. A glassed-in dry aging room, brimming with thoughtfully sourced chops and ribs, steals the scene at a New American hotspot downtown.
These cutting-edge Denver restaurants raise the bar for serving more than just tasty plates—they’re integral parts of the community. To sample their inventive offerings, book a table at one of these five restaurants now.
