The Mile High City’s culinary scene is diverse enough to offer you just about anything you’re craving.

So, if you’re looking for apartments in Denver and want to have a great dining experience, here are some of the best places to grab some food.

Because we’re talking about the home of the cheeseburger, there’s no better way to start this list than with The Cherry Cricket. The oldest burger bar in Denver lets you play with a long list of toppings to create the sloppiest, juiciest hamburger you can think of. Granted, if you’re expecting a fancy menu, this might not be your go-to place. Rather, The Cherry Cricket is stuck in its old ways … in the best possible way. As the neighborhood modernizes around it, this burger joint remains just as quirky and full of character as when it first started out.

La Loma is so much more than a restaurant. It’s an experience. Continuing the tradition of what began as a small, family-owned Mexican joint, La Loma strives to provide simple, yet tasty authentic food in a welcoming environment. With fresh tortillas being made on display right in the dining room, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in abuelita’s home. The salsa also packs a punch and the green chile is a must-try.
