Denver's Fall Restaurant Week Begins: What To Know

DENVER, CO — The first-ever fall edition of Denver Restaurant Week kicks off Friday, and is set to run until Nov. 22. More than 180 restaurants will be included in the event.

Denver Restaurant Week is normally held in February, but organizers decided local businesses could really use the extra boost amid the coronavirus outbreak.

You can view all restaurants and their menus here, and sort the lists according to price categories, foods and neighborhoods. Each restaurant has created a special menu for the set prices of $25, $35 or $45. Diners will also be able to order the dishes via takeout or delivery.

The nonprofit that organizes the event — Visit Denver — said the pandemic created "extreme difficulties within the restaurant industry."

"This fall, Denver Restaurant Week's latest iteration will focus on advocacy for the industry while keeping the health and safety of the community top of mind."

Restaurants often see a lull in November, so the new fall event will help with business, the organization said.

Denver is facing a surge in coronavirus cases and stricter guidelines; however Mayor Michael Hancock said local restaurants have done a "phenomenal" job of adhering to public safety guidelines and keeping patrons safe.
