Though large coastal cities get a lot of hype for their global food scene, Denver gives these cities a run for their money. When it comes to international food, the Mile High City has a diverse range of restaurants to try. If you’re craving some new flavors and experiences, Denver has you covered. For those with adventurous palates, here are some of the best restaurants in Denver to try:

 

Aloy Modern Thai

Run by sisters who grew up on a small farm outside of Bangkok, this restaurant brings authentic, farm-to-table Thai cuisine to Denver. With GMO-free meats and locally-sourced ingredients, they offers delicious, quality dishes. This spot serves up slow-cooked and artfully-plated Thai dishes that make them an incredibly popular restaurant in the LoDo neighborhood. The space itself is bright and modern and makes for a great place to relax with a friend. Try one of their small plates, like the Brie Tempura or Duck Roll, or enjoy a bowl of their amazing Tom Yum Noodle Soup. Patrons also rave about their Sticky Rice with mango and coconut foam, so save room for dessert.

 

Biju’s Little Curry Shop

If you’re seeking delicious Indian cuisine in Denver at a great price, many agree that this little curry shop is your best bet. With locations in RiNo and Berkeley, they have two great places to serve up their flavorful bowls in Denver. The concept is based on true south-Indian food, with a quick yet freshly-prepared take. The eclectic spaces are inviting and colorful, and they offer outdoor seating as well. This restaurant was even featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Try one of their curry bowls, like the Coconut Curry Chicken, and pair it with a fresh Mango Lassi.

 

Pho 95

For a delicious bowl of Vietnamese pho, Pho 95 is well regarded in the Mile High City. For a flavor-packed, authentic southern-Vietnamese style pho at a great price, you can’t go wrong. This cozy restaurant is a great respite on a chilly day in Denver or anytime you need a soup fix. With so many pho variations as well as the more traditional beef and rice noodle option, there’s something for every taste and protein preference. If you’re not in the mood for pho, they also have an extensive dinner menu including pan fried noodle plates, vietnamese sandwiches, and steamed rice plates. Open daily with Happy Hour specials Monday through Friday from 3-6pm, this authentic spot will transport your taste buds across the globe.

 

Megenagna Ethiopian Restaurant

For those looking for delicious Ethiopian food, give Megenagna a try. Located in Aurora in the Metro Denver area, this restaurant has an adjacent Ethiopian market and butcher shop. Inside the restaurant, you’ll find traditional decor and delicious authentic platters to share with a group. Many people come for the atmosphere of this unique spot, with each table canopied by palm leaves. This restaurant has a variety of vegetarian options for those who’d like to skip the meat and delicious fruit smoothies to accompany the meal. If you’ve never tried Ethiopian food, some of the staples you’ll find here are rich lentils, stewed greens, homemade injera, and kitfo (similar to a steak tartare).

 

Café Brazil

For South American cuisine, visit Café Brazil at 4408 Lowell Boulevard. This restaurant has a bright, colorful atmosphere and plenty of savory dishes to keep customers returning. They handpick their seafood and meats, which are cut daily, and create authentic dishes from northern Brazil and the Columbian coast. They also serve a wide selection of rum from all over the globe and exquisite wines from Spain, Chile, Argentina, and Portugal. Check out their Happy Hour where you can get specials Tuesdays through Fridays from 5-6:30pm and Fridays and Saturdays from 9-10:30pm.

 

Though many large cities in the U.S. have an international food scene, Denver rivals as one of the best. With food from all corners of the map and dishes to expand your taste horizons, Denver allows people to sample it all without leaving the city. Give something new a try and visit one of these restaurants for a unique cultural food experience.
