Best Valentine’s Day Dining in Denver

Looking for a romantic spot on the town for a Valentine’s Day dinner in Denver? There are dozens of excellent eateries to choose from.

Bistro Vendome is a French bistro tucked away in a hidden corner off Larimer Square. The chic eatery is tastefully decorated in dark wood décor and sets the perfect mood for a romantic night out. The menu is pricey, but the food is extraordinary. The crepe Vendome alone is worth a trip.

Chef Jen Jasinki has quickly made Rioja a must-try on the Denver foodie scene thanks to incredible Mediterranean flavors and a classy, romantic atmosphere. The pasta options make a perfectly filling meal while the beautiful décor sets the mood. All of it comes at a really reasonable price for a Valentine’s Day date.

Charcoal Bistro is another great option if you’re looking to splurge on a night out. The restaurant is a great mix of casual and upscale, but a plate here will cost you easily $80 per person if you opt for a full-course meal. The chef focuses primarily on vegan and vegetarian cuisine, and can accommodate just about any allergy or dietary need.

If you’re truly looking to impress on a first date, check out Izakaya Den. This Japanese sushi joint features a rooftop dining experience that’s sure to wow your significant other. Its list of sashimi and roll combinations is extensive, and includes delicious options like truffle sashimi and sea urchins. They also have plenty of choices for anyone who prefers seafood cooked.
