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.

    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 >

  • 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
