Visit Denver on Wednesday released the menus for its 14th annual Restaurant Week. From February 23 to March 4, 225 Denver-area restaurants will offer multi-course tasting menus for either $25, $35, or $45 per person. For an additional charge, some also will offer drink pairings. For those working their way through a Denver dining bucket list, this might be a good time to try some of the pricier spots. Here are a few highlights from the week’s special menus.
Abejas: This Golden destination consistently lands on Eater Denver’s essential restaurants. Choose options across three courses, starting with smoked salmon, carrot and saffron soup, or winter squash and guanciale salad; then petrale sole medallions, or braised short rib with caramel sweet potato puree and plum-amaretto chutney; and almond rum raisin cake for dessert. ($35)
Concourse: At ChoLon Concepts’ third Denver restaurant, located in Stapleton, try four courses for $35 starting with bacon and octopus risotto balls and celery root soup, followed by charred calamari or wagyu beef tataki, then coq au vin or durac pork loin, and finally a milk chocolate chantilly gold bar for dessert.
Fire at the Art Hotel: For a classy rooftop dining experience, head to the Art Hotel and order from the $35 prix-fixe menu of duck confit tostada, prosciutto wrapped corvina (sea bass), and a blondie with bourbon butterscotch ice cream.
Table 6: Revisit this sweet neighborhood spot for tuna poke or tots, blackened catfish or meatballs marinara, and beignets with peanut butter mousse and salty chocolate.
