31 listings22 Black-owned9 LGBTQ-owned

Denver eats along the older commercial streets rather than in one district: Welton Street through Five Points, Colfax east and west, South Broadway, and the Park Hill and Whittier corners. The listings run from dining rooms to counters, food trucks and caterers who mostly work private events, and Ethiopian, West African, Southern, Creole and Caribbean kitchens are all part of the everyday map here. Altitude is real for baking and for beer, and several kitchens will tell you so if you ask.

Restaurants & Food in Denver: questions people ask

How many restaurants are listed across the Denver metro?

31 right now, in Lakewood, Denver, Aurora, Parker, Centennial and Edgewater. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.

What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?

Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.

Do restaurants in Denver take reservations?

Many do, and plenty are walk-in only. Some kitchens here are takeout, catering or food-truck operations with no dining room, so check how each one takes orders before you go.

How can I ask about allergies or dietary needs?

Call ahead rather than asking at the table, and ask how the kitchen handles cross-contact, not just whether a dish contains an ingredient. Small kitchens are often very accommodating when they know in advance.

Is it free to be listed?

Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.

How do I suggest a restaurant that is missing?

Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.

Know a restaurant we're missing?

Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
