50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Denver

“One of the most enjoyable meals I've ever had. I was sitting solo at the bar for dinner and was made to feel like a regular, both by the staff and actual regulars. That alone would be wonderful, but the food/drink were spectacular. I came to Spuntino to try Indian-Italian and it did not disappoint. Flavors I've never tasted before melded perfectly, particularly the elk tartare with ginger-garlic, toasted masala aioli and ajwain seed crisps, and the Casconcelli - roasted carrots and amaretti filled pasta with carrot butter and complimented perfectly with boozy black cherries. Warming Indian spices over Italian homemade pasta on a cold night was excellent. The cocktails are also notable - especially since they make many of their amaros and digestivis in house. The off the beaten path wine list is top-notch if you like obscure Italian varietals. Don't skip dessert - and drink it too. Get the flight of housemade digestivis and gelato.“

“The best food I’ve ever tasted. If everyone tried this they’d appreciate vegan food. This is tasty beyond words. I’m always full and feel healthy after eating your food. Keep it up! 😀. Thank you.“

“Soooo delicious! Just had one of my best meals out in a long while! Every item was delicious and save room for the fried milk dessert — trust me! Plus a great Manhattan with Japanese whiskey“

“We had such a nice time for our office holiday gathering. Great service, fun atmosphere and tasty unique small plates.“

“Delicious food! Loved this restaurant when I visited Denver and would definitely come again.“

“I did some research on local restaurants before my 3 day trip to Denver and was so happy to have found Lucina Eatery. Let's start with the vibe and atmosphere. I felt right at home. The staff was fantastic from Alexander Moon (GM) to Billie (bartender with the right amount of sass, playfullness and desire to please). NOW FOR THE FOOD. Well I went back 2x over the 3 days the food was so good, I sat at the bar (a lot of fun since I was by myself) and felt totally welcome and comfortable. THE CEVICHE and BROCOLLI were to die for. I have 4 orders of Ceviche. I love this place and will be back“

“JINYA is excellent. The food is great and we received wonderful service from Rena!“

“One of the best place in denver for delicious Indian,Nepali and tibetian flavors.don’t miss this wow taste.“

“We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary at Bang Up To The Elephant 🐘✨. The food was absolutely amazing, the vibe was cozy and perfect for a special occasion, and everything felt so welcoming. A must-try is the Buss Up Shut, it was outstanding! Highly recommend this place for great food and a lovely experience. 💛“

“This was the best sushi I have ever tasted in my entire life. I have never been to Japan but I can only imagine that it tastes like this. The yellow tail sashimi was AMAZING. It was so buttery and smooth and it tasted so amazing. I can still remember how incredibly it tasted and my mouth is watering thinking about it.“

“What is this pizza?!? Absolutely AMAZING! Hands down one of the best vegan pizzas I’ve ever had in my life. The crust is perfect, the cheese melts like magic, and the flavors are bold, creative, and totally addictive.

I live far from Colorado, but honestly, I would travel to Denver just to eat this pizza again. Yes, it’s that good! The team at Mora Pizza clearly pours love and passion into what they do.

Please, please open a location in California — preferably in the San Francisco Bay Area! The vegan pizza community here would be forever grateful 💚🍕“

“Our waiter was spectacular and was an ultimate holiday treat .“

“We love everything about Watercourse! Excellent food, service, and atmosphere!“

“There are some really good Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants in Denver: Glo, Ginger Pig, Mister Oso... Hop Alley didn't live up to the hype for me. Everything was good, but not great. The service was fine, and I appreciated the food coming out quickly, but the pace felt rushed. The cocktails were weird twists on bar classics, and we've had better Chinese food elsewhere in Denver. Overall, really glad we tried it, but we'll be sticking to our preferred staples in RiNo.“

“Incredible experience! Stunning food and incredible preparation the thoughts behind the craftsmanship are mind expanding. You owe it to yourself to experience this epicurean adventure!“

“This was our first time eating at Next Level, and we loved it. There is an incredible variety of food options- we had the steak taco, the regular crispy chicken sandwich and the buffalo bomber sandwich. We loved them! We’ll for sure be back, can’t believe it’s all vegan!“

“We were in town for my Birthday, and booked a reservation based on a great recommendation. Everything about this dinner was nothing short of outstanding!! The food, the service, the drinks, the atmosphere made this night so perfect. Absolutely amazing!!!“

“The cocktails were amazing and so was the service. The burger came out somewhat raw when ordered medium. It was sent back and new one was better and comped. Fries were sweet (not a fan). Apple crumble tasted like baked oatmeal with apple and bland. Overall, go there for drinks and ambience and service but be mindful about the food.“

“This restaurant(s) is so unique and incredibly sophisticated no matter what venue you are looking for this is the place! The atmosphere is awesome due to the incredible décor, large screen, a multitude of different type of seating, large TV’s located all around the bar! The service and restaurant is second to none! The bartenders are so professional and friendly. Believe it or not we were actually asked if we were satisfied with our drinks! We were politely and professionally served our many food and drink selections! When our pizza slices were served, my mouth dropped, because I have never seen slices of pizza so huge! I have not had a slice of pizza that was so good with just the right amount of tasty toppings on mine! We ordered chicken wings, half naked and half buffalo wing sauce. The chicken wings had been fried to perfection and was so good we could not make up our minds which type of chicken wings was the best, so we called it a pleasingly tie!“

“Fantastic dining experience. Worth the trip every time!“

“Great place! Great people! Really enjoyed our time there.“

“Such a cool place with great ice cream!“

“Ordered drinks, waiter returned for order, appetizers arrived, no drinks, server said bartender was busy, drinks came halfway through appetizers, gave us bill and dessert at same time, no acknowledgement of birthday… made a deal of checking beforehand“

“Our favorite Indian Cuisine. We love to go here after church with family and friends. The food is superb. 🥰“

“Best Indian restaurants I never had before. The staff was so friendly ??“

“A friend who frequently travels to Denver raved about this restaurant, so I was eager to experience it for myself. Upon arrival for brunch, My other friend and I received a warm welcome and prompt seating. Our waitress Erika and her assistant were exceptionally kind and attentive. The food was a true culinary delight . I can’t recommend Rioja enough!“

“It is a very nice place with a unique atmosphere, the decoration, the area, the place, the staff and, above all, the food is excellent and very tasty.I really recommend this place 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Variety like I have never seen before! Menu offers so many choices that I had to venture beyond my tried and true favorites. I usually have Palak or Saag Paneer. I tried a different paneer and the honey curry. Chef noted my desire to stay on the mild spice side. The tandoori chicken wings were among the tops of my wings experience. If you are there for happy hour (starts at 3 pm), you must try them! I ordered a large amount of food so I’d have leftovers to take home.“

“great food, served quick, and very delicious!“

“I had the pleasure to eat at this fine establishment over the weekend with some great people! Let’s just say Sushi Den do not disappoint for my fist experience and will definitely be back. Everything was awesome from the cocktails to the Nigiri and high end Whisky!“

“Extremely friendly staff, nice music, and open LATE. The lamb and saag are great, the dry chili tofu appetizer is hands down the best tofu dish I've had to date. Looking forward to exploring the burgers and Greco-Mediterranian parts of the menu in future visits. If you're there during bar hours, The mango chili cocktail is also great.“

“Place was fresh would deff go again“

“Improper City is one of the few places that actually have a non alcoholic on tap along with local non alcoholic beers. Great place to enjoy the nice weather as one of best patios in Rino.“

“So delicious!!! Highly recommend, I’ll be back!!! Totally worth the hour drive from up north!!!“

“The manager and Brogan, our server, made our evening out a fantastic experience. From greeting us at the door, to accommodating our reservation, to the amazing food and taking good care of us, this was our best dinner in Denver on our 5 day vacation!“

“Best ramen EVER! We stumbled upon Uncle over a decade ago, and since then anytime we’re in CO we come for dinner. The spicy chicken ramen is hands down the best, love all of the bao buns, eggplant is my favorite, but can’t go wrong with crab or pork belly ones either. We’ve never had anything bad, service is always great too! Be sure to make a reservation.“

“Super friendly staff and delicious food! I got the bison ribs with a side of their Osage Hominy and the Wojapi Cup + Fry Bread. 10/10“

“My favorite restaurant in all of Denver. Best ambiance, best food, best wine, best service. Love everything about it!“

“Great pizza and wings. Fun for the kids and always wonderful service!“

“We LOVE this place. I have yet to order something that wasn’t delicious and the staff are amazing. Always a wait, but we’ll worth it!“

“Great Food and friendly staff!“

“As a gluten free baker myself, I have to hand it to these guys! They got it going on! Definitely check out the cheddar biscuits!!“

“Table 6 in Denver’s Alamo Placita neighborhood delivered an incredible dining experience with each dish showcasing farm‑to‑table freshness and creative flavors. From the tender broccolini and creamy carrot hummus to the perfectly seared grilled beef coulotte and rich duck confit, everything I ate was exceptional, and the chocolate beignets provided a decadent finish. The service was attentive and friendly without ever feeling rushed, making the evening both comfortable and relaxed. The atmosphere is chill and unpretentious, perfect for a laid‑back night out with friends. I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“My friends and I stopped in after a concert at HQ a few doors down. They raved about this donut shop- now I know why! Staff was very warm and welcoming. I wasn't sure what to order, so I trusted staff to surprise me. Oh my chocolately goodness! These donuts are magical! And the toppings! If you are ever in the area, Voodoo Donuts will not disappoint-especially if you have out of town guests! My 11 year old can't stop raving about how delicious your donuts are! 100 % recommend! Thank you Voodoo Donuts!“

“It’s been too long since I’ve returned to this gem. Fantastic service, creative dishes that use only the freshest ingredients available. Perfect date night, whether it’s your first date or 50th anniversary. Highly recommend.“

“My DU student and I recommend everything! The food is amazing (I recommend the eggplant Ragu), the price is right, and the family that owns and works are lovely and want everyone to be happy and to enjoy their food. It’s amazing!“

“Best burger I've had in a long while. Customer service rocked it out of the park!! I would even walk across Denver for those fries. Thanks Hopdoddy!!“
