They include the latest edition of the Michelin Guide to Colorado; features on local Palestinian and Cuban cuisine; and a list of the most anticipated restaurant openings of the rest of the year (and early 2027). Dig in.

Cafe Miriam

When the weather is right for a patio breakfast, lunch or brunch, I can't think of a better place to visit in Denver than Cafe Miriam. Sure, the likelihood of getting a table drops over the weekend, when it's every family for themselves. But during the work week, you've got a good chance of snagging a table and enjoying a meal that is as delicious and satisfying as the swaying leaves, gentle breeze and sunshine shift over you. Explore the mighty range of sweet and savory crepes and croissant sandwiches, such as the Petit Dej De Sundby ($16) pictured above with scrambled eggs, avocado and Norwegian smoked salmon and served with a side of greens. The rest of the day can wait.

Locations at 2217 E. 21st Ave., and 1707 N. Lafayette St., both in Denver; cafemiriam.com
