|
DENVER DINING Denver has over 2,000
restaurants serving all varieties of cuisine. Area specialties include
Rocky Mountain Trout, fresh Colorado beef, and lamb (Colorado is the
fourth largest producer of lamb in the U.S.). Another popular local dish
is buffalo. High in protein, lower in fat, calories and cholesterol than
chicken, buffalo is gaining popularity among health conscious diners and
is offered at numerous restaurants in Denver. Among the restaurants
serving buffalo are the historic Buckhorn Exchange, the oldest saloon and
restaurant in the city with a unique dining room covered with 500 stuffed
animal heads; the Denver Buffalo Company, which has an art gallery, gift
shop and western wear store attached; and The Fort, which is housed in a
reproduction of Bents Old Fort, a fur trappers post on the Santa Fe Trail.
Local residents also enjoy Mexican and Southwestern dishes, served at
dozens of local neighborhood pubs and taverns. |
