Updated deli classics & Mediterranean fare, served in a hip setting with cocktails & a wine list.
"This fast-casual favorite in the Golden Triangle really lays the bargains on thick. From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, it’s serving up loaded toasts, bread spreads, and sampler boards featuring tinned fish, charcuterie, and mezze with all manner of accoutrements at prices ranging from $8 to $19. Head here for an array of spritzes for $10, draft beers for $6, and wines for $6 by the glass or a mere $24 by the bottle — and those drink specials are also available from open to close on weekends." - Ruth Tobias
"One word: pastrami. Scratch-made by a 12-day process, it’s showcased at this Golden Triangle deli in myriad forms — on sandwiches with eggs, cheddar, and arugula; in gravy atop biscuits; and even in breakfast burritos. Want another word? How about toast: Here, fresh-baked sourdough comes topped with everything from smoked salmon, chive cream cheese, caper gremolata, and pickled mustard seeds to whipped labneh, caramel tahini, and pistachio dukkah." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff
"If your preferred lunch routine includes sweet treats and a glass of orange wine (whose doesn’t?), check out Leven Deli Co. in Capitol Hill. The deli/bakery/wine bar serves a long list of salads and sandwiches, including a fantastic reuben with rich 12-day aged pastrami and tart mustard on housemade rye. Try one alongside a chunky tahini brownie and a glass of wine on the patio where you can gaze upon the Denver Art Museum or count the number of 4Runners parked on the street. photo credit: Leven Deli photo credit: Leven Deli photo credit: Leven Deli" - Chelsea Thomas
"If your lunch routine always includes a little sweet treat (whose doesn’t?), then check out Leven Deli Co. in Capitol Hill. Part Mediterranean restaurant, part bakery, Leven serves a long list of salads and sandwiches, including a fantastic reuben with rich 12-day aged pastrami and tart mustard on housemade rye. Try one alongside a chunky tahini brownie or a cocktail on the patio where you can gaze upon the Denver Art Museum or count the number of Tacomas parked on the street.

"One of two new Jewish delis in Denver, offering a healthy spin on traditional deli fare." - Josie Sexton
