Description:
CITY PARK. Plan ahead and ask for a doggie bag as soon as you enter, because you're certain to get more food than you can handle. From brisket to chicken to pork, you're sure to find a plate to please. The cafe also serves a mean fried catfish platter and must-have peach cobbler, so sweet and gooey you'll think it came straight from a Southern kitchen. Sweet potato pie draws raves as well. Take-out is available. |

The Palm |

 |
| |

WaterCourse |
|
(Restaurants - Lunch) |
|
206 E 13th Ave, Denver 80203 303-831-6443 |
 |
| |
Description:
CAPITOL HILL. Probably better known for its fantastic breakfasts, WaterCourse also serves delicious, filling lunches. The high-ceilinged, pleasant room quickly becomes noisy as the lively noontime crowd files in, so be prepared to wait unless you're willing to grab a chair at the community table. The place serves vegetarian food done right, neither aspiring to imitate meat nor lacking in flavor. The tempeh scaloppini plate, served with mashed potatoes and greens, is mouthwatering. If you still have room, opt for a slice of vegan chocolate cake. |
