Denver has a long history of breakfasts adapted to local needs. In the 1800s, gold prospectors needed hearty morning meals, leading to large portions with eggs, meat, and potatoes. Later, the city developed a tradition of adding green chili to almost everything, including breakfast dishes. Denver also popularized the Denver omelet—a classic dish with ham, peppers, and onions now served nationwide. Today, the city is home to many spots offering hot breakfasts. Here are some of the best places to try them.
