๐ A 3-Day Denver Food Diary That Totally Wowed Me! ๐ฎ๐ธ
I absolutely fell for Denver โ such a clean, vibrant city! Neighborhoods like RiNo and LoDo are full of charm and character ๐๏ธ๐ซ ๐ฎ๐ฑ Safta A Michelin-recognized Israeli gem! ๐ธ Sababa Spritz โ A melon-forward cocktail that blew me away โ even better than Death & Coโs! ๐ฅ Lamb Ragu Hummus & Roasted Eggplant with fluffy pita โ soul-soothing goodness. ๐ Roasted Chicken โ Incredibly tender, juicy, and fragrant with scallion notes. So impressive! ๐ฎ Malabi โ The milk pudding was nice, but the sauce was too sweet for our taste. ๐น Death & Co Tried Rocket No.9 and Daly Fizz โ we preferred the latter! ๐ฅฉ Steak Tartare with crispy chips โ a tasty pairing. ๐ท Nocturne Perfect for date night with live jazz โ the vibe is immaculate! But letโs be real: music quality >> cocktail quality >> food quality. ๐ฅ Pit Fiend Barbecue Order any weight of meat โ great for trying a bit of everything! We sampled brisket, pork belly, pork tenderloin, and spare ribs. The brisket and pork belly were the winners โ because fat = flavor ๐ Sad we missed out on the pulled lamb! ๐ Marco's Coal Fired Hit their Tuesday half-price Margherita deal! We added sausage on one side, spicy salami on the other. The pizza itself was excellent โ balanced sauce, flavorful cheese, not greasy. But the sausage texture was oddly soft, like tofu ๐ ๐ฅ LoDough Worth the 20-min morning walk! The passion fruit croissant was heavenly โ tangy, sweet, and refreshing. The shop and owner were super sweet too! ๐ฎ Mister Oso An upscale taco joint. โ Lamb & pork shoulder were tasty. โ Birria was just okay, and the ceviche was a hard pass. Also, the service didnโt justify the auto 20% tip ๐ซค โ Coffee Shops Tried Migas, Huckleberry Roaster, Hearth, and Metropolis โ all solid! Metropolis is especially great for getting work done. Denver, you delicious surprise โ canโt wait to eat my way through you again! ๐ #DenverEats #DenverFood #SaftaDenver #CocktailBar #TravelEats #FoodDiary
