The vibe
Jennifer Jasinski's Larimer Square flagship is the restaurant that put Denver on the national culinary map, and the bar counter at Rioja remains one of the most civilized places in the city to spend an afternoon. The artichoke mousse — a Denver institution — arrives at the bar for happy-hour pricing alongside Spanish and Italian small pours that pair effortlessly. This is where Colorado's best chef does exactly what she does best.
