Description

Chef/owner Pat Perry's place, a Highland institution, is in full bloom, creating meals that celebrate the freshest of ingredients -- including some grown right outside. Whether you're dining outdoors or in one of the charming Victorian rooms, this is a true garden of eatin'.

2003 | Best Comeback

It was a noble experiment, what Pat Perry tried to do with her Highland's Garden Cafe: turn it into a mostly private dining facility, available for parties and, occasionally, dinners open to the public. But all the public could remember was how much they loved eating at Highland's Garden -- loved eating there, and hated having to remember when they could. Fortunately, Perry took pity on foodies and reopened the restaurant to everyone in the evening, as well as at Friday lunch. So now you... More »
2002 | Best Restaurant for You and Sixty of Your Closest Friends

Last year, the popular Highland's Garden Cafe changed course: Instead of acting like a regular restaurant, it's now a mecca for folks looking to get together with anywhere from six to sixty for private meals in the comfort of these two joined Victorian homes. While the gorgeous spaces are still open to the public a few times a month, the rest of the time the charming rooms -- many decorated with trompe l'oeil walls and overlooking lush gardens and a stunning back patio -- hold groups of...

2001 | Best Outdoor Patio -- Urban

Martha Stewart, eat your heart out. The Highlands Garden Cafe is not only a wonder of a restaurant, but its garden comes close to heaven on earth. When owners Pat and Chuck Perry expanded their eatery into the Victorian house next door, they added to their outside patio as well as their inside dining area. And when Pat wasn't in the kitchen (Chuck runs the front of the house), she was out in the yard, filling the exterior space with as many flowers and plants as it would hold. The result is... More »
2000 | Best outdoor patio -- urban

Avid gardeners will tell you that the average garden requires at least three years to take hold, and even more if the plan is elaborate. Well, it's been about five years since Pat and Chuck Perry planted a garden outside their lovely Highlands Garden Cafe, and in that time, their restaurant has not only taken hold as one of Denver's best places to eat, but also one of its most beautiful. In the garden around the side and back of the Victorian structure, rosebushes and ivy grow in abundance,... More »

MOUTHING OFF

By Kyle Wagner | Wed, February 07, 1996

Brunch banking: Brunch buffets are high-maintenance and, as a result, often low-flavor--quality ingredients such as real egg yolks and delicate cheeses don't take kindly to the heat of Sterno cans and hours in chafing pans. (For a buffet that work... More »
