There’s no shortage of great food to find in Colorado, as the list of highly-rated restaurants keeps on growing.

Here are ten dining establishments worth checking out in 2025:

1. Outer Range Brewing Co.

This craft brewery and taproom is in Frisco, making it a great stop after a long ski day.

2. Sap Sua

Located in East Colfax Denver, this restaurant serves non-traditional Vietnamese food. Sap Sua’s Trúng Và Trúng was recently listed on The New York Times’ list of the 26 best dishes across the U.S. in 2024. Trúng Và Trúng is described as “soft scrambled egg, brown butter, fish sauce, trout roe, and rice” on the Sap Sua menu.

3. Alma Fonda Fina

Serving contemporary Mexican food, Alma Fonda Fina pays homage to Chef Johnny Curiel’s culturally rich heritage and “decades of stories experiences in his home country.” The restaurant serves dishes such as Birria de Borrego (lamb shank), the Camote Asado (a sweet potato dish), and the Aguachile de Chile Fresno (seared hamachi). Alma Fonda Fina also has a Michelin Star, and was listed on Esquire’s 35 ‘best new restaurants of 2024.’
