Downtown Denver Food Tour

Our next stop takes us from Italy straight to Argentina at Lazo Empanadas, a cozy local spot serving Denver’s most authentic taste of South America. Empanadas are the ultimate comfort food—handheld pastry pockets filled with seasoned meats, vegetables, and cheeses—and at Lazo, each one is made from scratch with family...

Our third stop takes us to The Cherry Cricket Ballpark, the downtown branch of a Denver icon dating back to 1945. Famous for its build-your-own burgers with countless topping choices, this location adds another must-try: their award-winning green chili. In Denver, green chili isn’t just a condiment—it’s a cultural staple,...

No visit to downtown Denver would be complete without a stop by Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies. Opened in 1995, the stadium not only brought Major League Baseball to Denver but also helped spark the entire neighborhood’s transformation from warehouses to one of the city’s liveliest districts. With...

Our tour unfolds in LoDo—short for Lower Downtown—Denver’s oldest and most storied neighborhood. Once a frontier settlement along the South Platte River, LoDo grew into a bustling warehouse district tied to the city’s railroad era. By the 1980s, the area was in decline, but historic preservation efforts transformed its brick...

Just across from Coors Field, we’ll pause in McGregor Square, one of downtown Denver’s newest gathering spaces. Opened in 2021, the square was designed as a year-round community hub, bringing fresh energy to the Ballpark District. Its open plaza hosts everything from farmers markets to watch parties on the massive...

Next, we’ll explore the Dairy Block, a micro-district in LoDo that has quickly become one of Denver’s most vibrant culinary and cultural destinations. Built on the site of the old Windsor Dairy, this revitalized block is a maze of restaurants, cocktail bars, coffee shops, boutiques, and a boutique hotel—all woven...

At Kachina Cantina, we get to experience one of the most unique bites on the tour: their famous Native American fry bread taco. Light, puffy, and slightly crisp, the fry bread serves as both plate and tortilla, piled high with fresh, flavorful toppings like braised meats, beans, veggies, and tangy...

Our tour wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Wynkoop Brewing Company, Denver’s very first craft brewery. Founded in 1988 by a group that included future Colorado governor John Hickenlooper, Wynkoop helped spark the city’s now-famous craft beer movement. Housed in a historic brick warehouse just across from Union Station,...

Step inside the Oxford Hotel and you’re stepping into a living piece of Denver’s history. Built in 1891, it’s the city’s oldest operating hotel, blending Victorian elegance with modern style. Guests on our food tour will love the sense of stepping back in time—the grand lobby glows with polished wood,...

We finish our journey at Denver Union Station, the city’s grand transit hub and crown jewel of LoDo. First opened in 1881 and completely revitalized in 2014, Union Station embodies the perfect blend of historic charm and modern flair. Its soaring Beaux-Arts architecture, iconic “Travel by Train” sign, and elegant...

To close out the tour on a sweet note, we stop at Ultreia, the Iberian-inspired gem tucked inside Union Station. Here, guests enjoy a pastel de nata, Portugal’s iconic custard tart.
