DENVER RESTAURANT WEEK FEATURES MICHELIN STAR AND JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNING CHEFS

– Over 220 participating restaurants to showcase The Mile High City's acclaimed culinary scene –

DENVER, March 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Denver's celebrated culinary scene will be on display during VISIT DENVER's 19^th annual Denver Restaurant Week, presented by Pie Insurance, Friday, March 3 – Sunday, March 12.

The program was originally created to showcase Denver's growing culinary offerings to local residents over a traditionally slow time of year for the restaurant industry. In its inaugural year, the program had 83 participating restaurants. Since then, Denver Restaurant Week has evolved to highlight Denver's renowned culinary destinations with multiple James Beard Award-winning chefs and innumerable accolades.

Over 220 restaurants are participating this year, representing Denver's diverse culinary offerings. Diners can indulge in Michelin Star chef, Ludo Lefebvre's creations at Chez Maggy, honor western roots at The Fort Restaurant, try popular gourmet food halls, including the Denver Milk Market and emerging hotspots such as Noble Riot. Local breweries, wineries and beer gardens are also participating with enhanced food offerings.

In alignment with previous years, restaurants will offer either a $25, $35 or $45 price for their menu and create a multi-course dining experience over the 10-day, two-weekend event. The tiered pricing structure allows restaurants to provide multi-course meals, great deals for diners and a robust representation of Denver's increasingly renowned culinary offerings.

All participating restaurants are listed on DenverRestaurantWeek.com by neighborhood, cuisine and price. New restaurants will be added to the list up until the beginning of Denver Restaurant Week. With participating restaurants across the Denver Metro area, diners are encouraged to explore new neighborhoods outside of their normal routine. Denver Restaurant Week is the perfect time to revisit some classic Denver favorites and try new hotspots. Local Denver hotels are offering deals throughout Restaurant Week, making it a great time to stay and explore the city through its culinary delights.

Tables will fill up fast during Denver Restaurant Week, so diners are also encouraged to make a reservation, try some earlier or later seatings or even weekday options. It is also important to remember to cancel any reservations you don't plan on using so other diners can use it. The delicious menus these restaurants have prepared are also great deals. Be sure to tip your servers generously.

VISIT DENVER's Denver Restaurant Week is presented by Pie Insurance and sponsored by Colorado Restaurant Association-Mile High Chapter, OpenTable, Stella Artois, Uber Eats and E&J Gallo Winery featuring Franciscan Estate, High Noon Seltzer, J.
