The Best New Restaurants in Denver Right Now, Spring 2025 | Eater Denver

"On the rooftop of the Populus hotel, this drop-dead gorgeous, indoor-outdoor destination is built around a wood-fired kitchen that yields such convivial stuff as juniper-glazed bison-venison skewers, barbecued quail with roasted cauliflower and pickled hot peppers, and charred rapini in fish-sauce caramel with robiola and pistachios; the bar, meanwhile, turns out kicky cocktails like the Canopy Daiquiri with rhum agricole and Thai basil that call for a toast to good times with a great view. (Downstairs on the ground floor, Pasque — which serves contemporary cuisine with an emphasis on sustainable sourcing and low waste — is also stunning to behold.)" - Ruth Tobias
