James Beard Restaurants in Denver

The Wolf's Tailor holds the city's only Two Star, but the bigger story is Yuan Wonton, a $$ spot in Park Hill with a James Beard Winner badge. Finalists like Alma Fonda Fina and Barolo Grill sit above a deep bench of semifinalists running from Highland to Boulder. Recognition isn't our rating — some of these land in Delicious or Damn Good, not the top tier. The receipts are on every page.
