๐ป Denver Food Guide: 4 Days of Eating Well ~$75/Day .๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฐ
Thanks to everyoneโs recommendations, Denverโs food scene surprised me! ๐โจ Hereโs how I maximized my $75 daily budget during a work trip from LA โ๏ธ DEN: Day 1: ~$65 Ocean Prime ๐๐๐๐๐ ($50-100) Their seafood is flown in daily! ๐ฉ๏ธ๐ The sea scallops with risotto (like sticky rice!) were tender and delicious ๐๐คค. The lobster bisque was rich but not overly heavy ๐ฆ๐ฒ. Day 2: ~$77 Cholon ๐๐๐๐ Korean fried chicken ๐ and Kaya toast were crispy and unique! But the soup dumplings werenโt as good as Din Tai Fungโs, and the Brussels sprouts were too salty for me ๐ . Happy Hour + tip totaled $59 (plus a 6% โfair wageโ fee ๐ธ). Milk Tea People ๐๐๐๐๐ Denverโs best boba! ๐ง๐ Ube jasmine cheese tea had strong taro flavor with light cream and jasmine notes. Blueberry matcha lavender grew on me! $18 well spent. Day 3: ~$80 U&I BBQ ๐๐๐๐๐ Better than some California spots! ๐ข๐ฅ Beef and lamb skewers were super tender. Grilled mantou, eggplant, and stir-fried noodles were perfectly seasonedโnot too oily or salty! Day 4: ~$74 OneFold ๐๐๐๐๐ Fusion brunch with congee resembling็ฎ่็ฆ่็ฒฅ ๐ฅฃ๐. The carne asada quesadilla was crispy outside, tender inside, with a unique sauce ๐ฎ๐ฅ. The crepe was okay (needed ice cream ๐). Fresh OJ and matcha latte were hits! ๐ต๐ Post-work, I explored Denverโs quiet streetsโno lines anywhere! ๐๏ธ๐ถโ๏ธ So refreshing! #USA #Denver#DenverFood #FoodGuide #TravelEats #BudgetFoodie #SeafoodLovers #BBQTime #BrunchGoals
