"A pillar of downtown’s fine dining since 1987, Cache Cache still draws the see-and-be-seen crowd to its always-happening bar and coveted patio tables — proof that staying power doesn’t mean playing it safe. Executive chef and co-owner Chris Lanter has steered the ship for over 20 years, turning out a traditional French American menu with his signature local swagger. Standing staples include the cult-favorite frisée salad with Tender Belly bacon and a molten duck egg, escargots dripping in Bourguignon butter, crisp Colorado trout, and a silky cacio e pepe. It’s an institution where regulars sip martinis under blue lights in the lounge and first-timers are inevitably impressed with the full dining experience." - Katie Shapiro
