5 Star Denver Restaurants

Restaurant Kevin Taylor, located inside the historic, Hotel Teatro, has gold-and-green decor that creates an impression of a castle dining hall. From a fabulous affaire in the main dining room to private dinners in the intimate wine cellar, this top-notch restaurant walks the delicate lines between Mediterranean, French, American southwest, and Asian rim cuisine.

Dinner at the Palace Arms is a quintessential Denver experience, and despite its dramatic Napoleonic decor, the Palace Arms' cuisine is a combination of traditional American, contemporary regional, Mediterranean, and Japanese.

Fruition Restaurant is a small, intimate neighborhood restaurant serving seasonal, sophisticated comfort food paired with an eclectic wine list and impeccable service. Mizuna's linen-draped tables and soft yellow dining room perfectly highlight the cuisine—also simple, elegant, and understated.

To give you a hint to how seriously Barolo restaurant treats its ability to provide superb service with superb food, it shuts its doors every summer for two weeks so that the entire staff can tour Italy's wineries and restaurants. Hence, this food pearl rates as one of the best in Colorado.
