Best Cheap Michelin Star Restaurants In Denver Near Me

Beautiful little Mizuna is consistently rated among the best dining experiences in the country. A neighborhood eatery firmly rooted in French cooking techniques, Mizuna aims to marry tight, professional service with culinary mastery. With a menu that changes monthly to reflect the bounty of each season (on land and by sea), Mizuna is the flagship restaurant to Bonanno Concepts, Frank Bonanno’s chef driven restaurant family, dedicated to satisfying meals, outstanding service, education, and community.

Where skilled cooks are encouraged to stretch the limits of their palates and broaden their understanding of ingredients both local and exotic.


Though Mizuna’s solely open for dinner, our chefs start their days with the sun—creating rich stocks from farm raised meats and wild fishes, kneading yeasty doughs, slicing the juicy hearts of ripe vegetables, spinning fresh ice creams. They taste and select cheeses, herbs and produce from local vendors like The Truffle, Verde Growing and Mountain Produce.


Mizuna chefs collaborate to change the menu every month and each item on that menu is a thoughtful representation of the passion of the chef who created it—the expression of a talented palate committed to simple yet intense flavors and aromas, creating a truly unique tasting menu experience in Denver. Come; see what the season has to offer.

We’re so excited to let our special Rioja guests hear about our upcoming trip to Andalucía and Southern Spain with the pros at Modern Adventure. For seven days and six nights we’ll be hands-on sharing the food, wines and culture of Andalucía, Malaga, Jerez and Seville from the chef perspective. We both love Spain and can’t wait to taste and cook with the sherries, wines and local ingredients from this gorgeous region. Every day will bring a new adventure (with plenty of free time for sightseeing, too).

4worldlovers: We’re temporarily closed but are excitedly working to re-open our beautiful dining room soon. We look forward to finding a little escape into a delicious dining experience with all our friends.

We built a restaurant that mirrors the story of two lovebirds; Beatrice, the life-loving daughter of a French winemaking family, who relocated to California in the 1800’s to create a small vineyard. And Woodsley, the handsome and crafty son of Lumberjacks-turned-Coopers, who provided barrels for the fledgling wine producers. Upon first sight, Beatrice and Woodsley fell in love and quickly married.

Stirred by his new bride, Woodsley built a remote cabin amid the woods of the Colorado mountains. Built with skilled and loving hands, Woodsley constructed a strong abode complete with the day’s amenities and a large wine cellar between the roots of the aspens. Life was lived with appreciation amongst the forest birdsong and the snow-capped peaks -happily ever after*.

*Though it likely took at least four weeks by horse to get to their cabin, especially in a proper Colorado snow-bound winter ; )

Inspired by the restorative qualities of food, drink, and setting, Beatrice & Woodsley was created from a passion to bring the wilderness of the forest into the solitude of the city. A little poem from D.H. Lawrence informed the initial inspiration of the restaurant:

“Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into

Are awake through years with transferred touch, and go on glowing

Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.”

We have a romantic soft spot for the history, culture, and function of restaurants. Together, we contribute to their evolution as we strive to see them continue as places of personal restoration, social replenishment, and well-deserved relaxation.

On his path to becoming a seasoned hospitality professional through fine restaurants and hotels, Ryan cultivated his passions while performing as a world traveling jazz trumpeter. When not ensuring the excellence of the restaurant’s service and culinary offerings, he can be found in the mountains, biking, fishing, and serenading the black bears with his horn.

Passionate about combining functional art within overlooked places, Kevin seeks out opportunities to create personal connection, reflection, and rejuvenation in hopes of fostering community stewardship and thoughtful investment. His work is often described as evoking wonderment, romance, and belonging.
