I had a great weekend hosting my cousin, Saryn, who was visiting Denver for her interview for postgrad at DU.
Here’s the brief foodie recap….
City’o'City.
I’ve been to both City’o'City and Watercourse Foods now. I really really want to love them because every vego and vegan I know recommends them, and I’m willing ot give it another shot because I think I order the wrong thing every time.
Macro Plate: Togarashi blackened tofu with quinoa and wakame pilaf in miso broth with steamed greens, pickled carrot, and kimchi
The only flavor I could taste was salt and the tofu was a very odd consistency.
Saryn got El Jefe: burger with cheddar, sauteed mushrooms, onion rings, hot-sauce aioli and a fried egg
I snuck a couple bites and it was absolutely delicious. My dish paled in comparison to the homemade bun and crunchy onions.
So not all hope is lost for City’o'City
The next day we got to Root Down about five minutes before it opened in the hopes of snagging a table for brunch.
Apparently we were not the only ones with that idea…
Introducing the hottest nightclub in Denver at 10am…..or just an insanely good organic and sustainable restaurant.
We ventured a block or two down to Lola Restaurant in the Highlands.
Famed for their flavors of mimosas.
Couldn’t resist the Willy Wonka theme: Snazberry Mimosa.
And guess what? The Snazberry tasted liked Snazberry.
We also got a banana pancake for the table to share.
Complete with banana creme! The best part.
Do this idea of a pancake for an appetizer. Pancakes are so rich for me, often I only need a bite or two.
The menu wasn’t too veg friendly but thankfully one of the veg options sounded awesome.
scrambled egg-vegetable migas, tortillas, black bean refritos, chile rojo
It was kind of luke warm once we got it, but I appreciated the house made tortilla which was my favorite part.
Saryn’s friends and I did an excellent job of swaying her decision to the rockies. Hopefully I’ll another family addition to CO in the fall!
Now off to an early bedtime!
