Looking for something extra special to do with your out of town guests or loved ones this holiday season? If so, a night out on the town at one of Denver’s top restaurants might just be the ticket.

Drawing the attention of world renowned chefs, foodies, plus naturalist and entertainment icons, Denver’s top restaurants are definitely the place to be if you want to impress this Christmas 2013.
Here are my top three picks for the best Holiday restaurants in Denver.
Mizuna
Mizuna is not a new restaurant to our area by any means, but consistently one of the most innovative! Opened by Frank Bonanno, Mizuna offers a unique culinary experience that includes menu items like their famous Lobster Macaroni and Cheese, or Diver Scallop over a Truffled White Bean Mousseline, and Colorado Lamb Loin. Mizuna’s refined combination of decadent food and it’s chic ambiance is matched by elite quality of services and close attention to details.

Sushi Den
Revered as one of the premier sushi and Japanese restaurants in the United States since 1985, Sushi Den continues to raise the bar and setting standards that others try to emulate. Offering nothing but the freshest of ingredients and creative healthy dishes, Sushi Den’s produce comes directly from the family’s 6.5 acre pesticide-free farm in Brighton, Colorado. The truly sustainable and ingenious culinary experience of Sushi Den will surely have even the most health conscious person raving until their next visit.

Potager
Teri Rippeto, owner and executive chef of Potager, has found her place in Denver, Colorado’s health-first sustainable culinary scene. Striving to produce simply cooked all natural foods without leaving as much as footprint behind them, Potager Restaurant takes sustainability to a whole new level. Their menu changes on a monthly basis, which offers diversity to their patrons, as well as the opportunity to broaden their palates and rejoice in vegetables. Not only will this month’s menu, including a Twice Baked Cheddar Souffle, Chef’s Cut Colorado Sustainable Farms Beef, and Wood Fried Eastern Plains Heritage Chicken with Parmesan Pumpkin Risotto, satisfy your taste buds, but it will also please your inner “green” self as well!
