50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Fort Collins

“Had a great time with my daughters. Food was delicious!“

“New restaurant review: Who: Indigo Where: 144 N Mason St UNIT 8, Fort Collins, CO 80524 ( underneath the parking garage at the intersection of Laporte & Mason) About them: This is a brand new upscale Indian cuisine concept that has been open since July 4th 2025. The Feed.... Main items ordered: Signature Grilled Indigo Lobster - fresh tail Grilled with garlic and herbs served with drawn butter, rice and a small Julianne style fresh vegetable slaw. Goat Chettina - slow cooked meat in a chettina style black pepper with coconut curry. Palak Paneer - Cottage cheese cubes in a very smooth spinach sauce Bread: Garlic Naan Rosemary Naan Drinks: Spicy Mango Mule (Mocktail) Coke Dessert: Rose Rosmalai - soft sleeve dumplings soaked in fragrant rose scented saffron milk. The Experience: We had walked by this place waiting for it to open for weeks and were happy to see people eating there this weekend so we gave it a try. We were greeted by one of the owners and sat at a corner table of our choosing. As we looked over the menu we spoke with Nishant about some of the items on the menu as well as the overall idea behind this concept. He told us that their goal was to open up a space that was unlike any other In town with an emphasis on food quality, execution and attention to detail. Our drinks were served and I will see it took a little more time than normal to get them but not the end of the world.. The star of the show was the food. Where to start.... The lobster dish not only was plated well but the flavors on the tails were amazing. Grilled perfectly and the protein was not rubbery so they know how to cook this. The goat Chettina was well presented with my only criticism being that I had to navigate some very big and small bones but the meat was very tender and well flavored. The sauces are unique to each dish as as anyone who has been to Indian restaurants will tell you... alot of the times this is not the case.. They build these flavor profiles separately and each stands alone as its own unique dish which makes this place different. The Palek Paneer hands down is the best representation of this type of dish I have ever had. The freshness of the cheese is one thing but the silky smooth finish of the spinach... WOW... My big complaint about this dish at the places I have been is that the cheese gets granular with a sandy type finish. Not here. This was fresh, smooth and just melted in your mouth with each bite.. when you add the extra flavor texture of the spinach to this its a home run. The Naan's were thinner than I am used to but very good just different.. The fresh Rosemary was just incredible. That hit your nose as soon as they brought the food out. Freshly cut too. The Rose Rosmalai was just great and something we had never tried before and to say it continues the theme of uniqueness that we found at this restaurant would be an understatement. The cheese dumplings were great but the rose forward smell and the saffron milk together just made for a perfect flavor explosion... what a great way to end the meal. Overall Impressions: They are new, they are young and they are here to prove that you can be unique in this space which is difficult but not impossible. Everything we had here was different than anything we have had at other Indian restaurants so as long as they continue this level of execution the people will come.. they are going to be successful. Their food preparation and quality are already at a very high level. They are meeting the moment and a few small things aside this is as close to culinary perfection as one can get. As a resprentation of several parts of India I would say they know their food and their menu reflects this so there is something here for everyone. Thank you to the two owners A.J. & Nishant for their hard work and for taking the time to talk with us. We wish you nothing but continued success. You will do well and this is a welcomed and unique addition to the Fort Collins food scene. Indigo is definitely a 1 of 1 Happy eating !“

“My wife and I enjoy coming to this quaint restaurant for its excellent downtown Fort Collins location, great coffee, tasty food and friendly staff.
Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. I did find it rather loud on the inside (but, I wear hearing aids so maybe that made it worse). Outdoor seating is quite pleasant in the summertime.
The owners of the restaurant made some very tasteful choices on the interior decor, using some of the historic architectural elements from the business that was at this location for many years.“

“Great food and friendly atmosphere keep up the good work.“

“I wandered into this incredibly cool beer bar while exploring the downtown area, and it was a total paradise for anyone who loves a great brew. The wall of tap handles is absolutely massive, and they have an amazing, rotating selection of everything from local microbrews to rare imports that you can't find anywhere else. The bartender was super passionate and let me try a couple of samples before I committed to a full pint of a fantastic local IPA, and the laid-back, unpretentious vibe made it the perfect place to sit back and relax after a long day of sightseeing. I also grabbed a quick basket of their garlic fries which came out hot and perfectly seasoned, making this an absolute must-visit spot whenever you are passing through town.“

“Great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the espresso martini was even better. Enjoyed the patio! Our server did an excellent job making sure our food & drinks were perfect. Drove from Cheyenne, Wy for brunch . We will definitely be back!“

“Great wait staff behind the bar! Great place to meet friends and have a brew. I would suggest cleaning the tables between patrons and being mindful of tp in the toilets.“

“Good tacos but expensive burritos. We went two weeks in a row and four tacos ended up at $14 which is reasonable. Last time a ham quesadilla and two burritos came in at $38.25. Unfortunately I can only recommend the tacos for the cost.“

“500000/5. Thank you so so so much for hosting us, making us some chocolate milk and saving me from walking home with these 2 munchkins after our bucket bike had a flat tire. You didn’t have to patch our tire and fix it for us, but you did and I am forever thankful. Will be by more often to support this local crew. Great coffee too! ❤️“

“Service was actually phenomenal! Didn’t catch his name but he was so naturally welcoming and friendly. Appreciated the top notch customer service. Sometimes good service is rare and great service even harder to find. You obviously have an exceptional employee (Friday 2pm). Kudos to you!“

“Just had dinner at The Cafe at Ginger and Baker! Food was phenomenal and drinks were phenomenal. It was hard to decide what to have for dinner. We will definitely be back many times to try each of the menu items that caught our eye. Service was impeccable. My youngest accidently fell off her chair and bonked her head and the manager immediately came out to make sure she was OK and asked if she needed ice. Can't wait for our next visit!“

“Yum and awesome friendly people here!“

“Great beers in a great location.“

“We just enjoyed Beijing Noodle for the first time and wow, I can’t wait to order again!! We had the Wuhan noodles (with the pork belly) and the steamed pork dumplings. The noodle dish was absolutely beautiful and equally tasty! Incredible work!“

“Retreat! Yay! My FAVORITE bakery!!! All of the treats are not only delicious, but BEAUTIFUL!!! This is my go to spot for when I need something special for someone extra special!! Doesn't hurt that they always have something fabulous on draft, so I can get a little treat too! 😘“

“Amazing Customer Service 😘😘😘“

“We did the Whitewater rafting and we had a great time Mia was awesome“

“What a gem we have discovered right here in our back yard. As fans of bourbon, we walked in expecting to sample a flight of bourbons, but instead...we found delicious cocktails, an engaged, friendly and knowledgeable (thanks, Katie) bartender and so many delicious spirits, liqueurs and tasty things to whet our amateur mixologist appetites. We've already been back a couple of times and the whole team is lovely....and we've met nice dogs there, too.“

“I found many favorites visiting the Spice & Tea Exchange recently. Their sustainable approach to bulk is a highlight, along with their uniquely blended spices that quickly became family staples in our food-forward home! The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and I will be back to fill my glass bottles and support this local enterprise!“

“I had a two day event catered for roughly 15 people. The food was outstanding and the portions were huge. Everyone was happy and well fed. In my mind, Rob offers great southern style food that you just can’t find in this area. I highly recommend the cream corn!!“

“Awesome family owned tavern with great pizza and beer selection! Check it out!“
