Old Major, long awaited new restaurant in the Highland area is now apparently open for business.  Offering “elevated farmhouse cuisine” the opening has been long anticipated by foodies and locals alike.

“And, indeed, Old Major, the Highland restaurant that chef Justin Brunson has spent months putting together with an undisputed dream squad of cooks and chefs, bartenders and wine geeks and front-of-the-house professionals, is a restaurant that’s striving to be a confluence of unassailable cooking (with gorgeous compositions to match) in a striking setting that’s neither too pretentious nor too casual with service that’s as refined and graceful as an orchestrated ballet — but without the snoot.”

Located at 3316 Tejon St., Denver, CO the restaurant is high on my list of places to go.  The best thing is that while a large part of the restaurant has reservations, Justin Brunson has attempted to draw in the locals with up to 20% of the tables open for walk in traffic.  I’ll probably wait until the hype dies down a bit but after seeing samples of the food in the Westword Blog this might become one of my new favorites.

There are only a few places that I keep menus at home for delivery when I am too lazy or busy to go somewhere.  I-Sushi is one of these.  Located at (303) 747-6776  801 Santa Fe Dr in Denver this place serves good food at a reasonable price.

The restaurant just opened this year and is a clean quiet space just off 8th Avenue on Santa Fe.  I have always loved how colorful this area is with it’s combination of Mexican restaurants, small stores, and art studios.  I-Sushi is the first Japanese restaurant in the area and well worth the drive.

I always order the lunch bento box because of the combination of different food including fresh fish, california rolls, miso soup, salad, and shumai.  The wait staff is always polite without being intrusive and serves the food quickly.

I love lunch.  In fact one of the best things about it is finding new places that I can try.  And downtown Denver has hundreds of places where they serve great lunches at reasonable prices.  Sure, there are the normal franchise’s that serve the same stuff at every location.  But there are also great little owner operated cafes that serve unique and tasty variations.

That is why I decided to create this website – lunch downtown denver – to showcase my favorites.  Even among the franchises there are those where the staff and crew are just better than at other locations.  Where they are kept clean, the food served quickly, and the staff freindly.

Everyday I am looking for ideas for lunch, looking for those gems that stand out.  And if I can find them with a coupon that saves me some money all the better.  From boxed lunches to menu lunches they are all fair game as I scour for a good lunch downtown denver, that will satisfy my hunger.  There are even a lot of great carts that serve good food at a discount price.  Make sure that you try a Sabrett hot dog at least once and you’ll be hooked too!

If I can find a healthy lunch all the better.  But doesn’t your mouth just start watering soemtimes for a juicy hamburger, crisp french fries, and an ice cold soda?  Or somedays all I can think about is getting an Oyako Bowl from Tokyo Joes heaping with rice, dark chicken that has been cooked with egg and Oyako Broth.

Downtown Denver has it all.  Even some of the best mexican in the city.  All within walking distance of the 16th Street Mall, the Denver Convention Center, and all the downtown hotels.  Whether you are visiting or working downtown, you can find everything from great sandwiches to lunch boxes with everything that you need.
