Denver's brunch secret: green chile
Denver's signature brunch dish is anything smothered in Colorado Hatch green chile. Spots like Lucile's, Pete's Kitchen, and Sassafras serve the definitive version. If you've never had Denver green chile for brunch, your first visit is the time to fix that.
Denver Brunch Tips
- Highland (LoHi) and RiNo have the highest concentration of acclaimed brunch spots; go at 9am to beat the wait
- Many popular spots like Snooze, Root Down, and Lucile's don't take reservations — arrive early or expect a wait
- Denver's green chile smothered brunch dishes are a local institution — at least try it once
- Sunday brunch peaks 10am–12pm; arriving before 10am or after 1pm significantly reduces wait times
