Watercourse Foods

Vegan restaurant · North Capitol Hill

City O' City

Vegetarian restaurant · Capitol Hill

Capitol Hill’s daytime-to-late spot where everything defaults vegan—think seitan wings, BBQ mac wraps, and lion’s mane katsu. The menu makes the plant-based focus clear, and its role as a gathering place keeps it woven into Denver’s culture.

Wellness Sushi

Japanese restaurant · City Park

Denver’s first fully plant-based sushi shop reimagines classics with konjac shrimp, eggplant “unagi,” and rich ramen. Lauded on Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat and covered by local news, it’s a standout for technique and originality.

Bang Up To The Elephant

Vegan restaurant · Capitol Hill

A tropical, 100% plant-based playground serving Caribbean-leaning plates and cocktails. A Westword favorite for years, and BusinessDen recently noted the restaurant’s continued growth—proof this independently owned spot remains a Capitol Hill original.
