Description

Small and weird and uncommon and devilishly crowded at its peak is not a standard recipe for wild restaurant success. But in Limon's warm storefront space, owner/chef Alex Gurevich has singlehandedly sold Denver on authentic Novoandino cuisine -- a combination of modern Peruvian flavors and classical French technique that's complex, comforting and delicious all at the same time. And Limon's success hasn't been hampered by its south-of-the-border-cool cocktail list, either.

  • 2008 | Best Nouvelle Peruvian Restaurant

    Yucca chips, potato salads, causa potato cakes and a spread of ceviches are only the start at Limón, chef Alex Gurevich's love letter to the modern cuisine of Peru, known as "Novoandino." Here the classic dishes of this ancient food culture are reimagined for the modern world, yet made with traditional, imported ingredients and a deep understanding of where the disparate flavors come from. The room where they're served is sleek, the plating undeniably modern, and yet the flavors speak... More »

  • 2007 | Best Taste of Lima

    Chef/owner Alex Gurevich had some sort of epiphany during a trip to Peru a couple of years back. He saw the blooming of an entirely new cuisine based on the borderless, international flavors of traditional South American cooking and came back to Denver with the desire to open one of the first Novoandino restaurants in the United States. That's exactly what he's done with Limón, combining the authentic, sometimes shocking native tastes and juxtapositions of Peruvian food with his own sense of Fr... More »

    Sour Limon

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, August 16, 2007

    Although Denver has several Peruvian restaurants, it has only one Limon — the recently expanded spot at 1618 East 17th Avenue where chef/owner Alex Gurevich's menu runs more toward the hyper-modern than the traditional, with cuisine rooted in mod... More »

    Limón Turns One

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, June 28, 2007

    Last week, Alex Gurevich called to let me know that Limón, his killer Novoandino/Peruvian restaurant at 1618 East 17th Avenue ("Small Miracles," February 8), is turning one on July 12. He and his guys are throwing a party — live music, drink spec... More »

    Third Turn

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, May 10, 2007

    I called Limón chef/owner Alex Gurevich last week, and as a measure of just how frazzled the man was, for the first few minutes of our conversation, he thought I was a contractor calling to tell him that things weren't going to be ready for his re... More »

    Limón

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, February 08, 2007

    On its very first day of business, Limón was a hit, a force to be reckoned with on 17th Avenue. Actually, from before its first day, because -- as is the habit lately -- Limón opened very soft, for friends and family, with no flags or fanfare, j... More »
