According to a survey done by WalletHub, The Mile High City not only has some of the best restaurants in the country, it was also found to be fairly wallet friendly (which us ballers on a budget love 🤩).
With so many options to choose from, I have relied heavily on social media food bloggers to point me in the direction of the hottest restaurants and coveted hidden gems the city has to offer. Keep reading to find out my favorite accounts I check when I'm looking for a new spot to try!
When you follow Pao Denver, you are essentially subscribing to "Yelp for Hidden Gems." Not only do they feature some of the most delicious restaurants in town, they also share the most "Instagrammable" experiences! Pao is perfect for foodies looking for those looking for all things Denver, from the most casual of coffee shops to the most extravagant chef-owned restaurants.
One of my favorite things about Pao is their app! Featuring photos and reviews from other users of all the coolest spots. They even have a map you can explore with pinned photos so you can find the best places closest to you.
For those who want the photos of the food to speak for itself, Denver Food Adventures is for you. Their Instagram feed is basically just photos of delicious food with a quick caption of what dish it is and from where. I love how minimalistic their Instagram feed is and how I can find out about new places to try but am still able to go into the restaurant blind and form my own opinion. If you want a bit more information on their spotlighted restaurants, head to their Tik Tok for their commentary about their experience eating there!
If Happy Hours are more your jam, check out Denver's Best HH! They show you the best places to hit up after work or when you want a night out on the town and you're on a budget. With so many great restaurants and bars in the city, having somewhere to check out who has the best deals or who's Happy Hour lasts the longest is so helpful!
Kristina's page is for people who want a more personal food blogger experience. Denver Foodie is ran by one woman as she hunts for the best food and drinks in Denver. I have personally been following Kristina for quite some time and she has opened my eyes to countless gems! I love that following her feels like following a friend and I trust her opinion as much as I would anyone else I was close to.
