Description

WaterCourse's second home is lovely -- large, bright and airy, with a big dining area and an ample kitchen, it's an almost 180-degree turn from the old, cramped spot on 13th Avenue that now holds sibling City O' City. There's a bakery case, a blond-wood counter (that also doubles as a bar) and lots of tables bathed in natural light spilling in through the banks of floor-to-ceiling windows. It's a fitting setting for savoring the creative, but purely vegetarian menu.

  • 2013 | Best Vegetarian Restaurant

    In some cities, naming a restaurant the best vegetarian eatery is faint praise, but in Denver -- which is blessed with vegetarian and vegan options at almost every turn, plus a handful of all-herbivore restaurants -- it's an honor. And WaterCourse Foods is deserving of that honor once again, partially because of its consistently delicious regular menu and partially because of the imaginative offerings that chef Rachel Kesley whips up throughout the year in seasonal multi-course...

  • 2012 | Best Vegetarian Restaurant

    WaterCourse Foods just keeps getting better. The atmosphere has always been lovely: The open, airy space features animals and landscapes painted across the walls by Ravi Zupa, with tall stools lining the bar and comfortable booths tucked by the walls. But over the past year, WaterCourse cut out its weekday breakfast hours, allowing chef Rachel Kesley to concentrate on the meals where the kitchen really shines: lunch and dinner. In addition to a solid spread of appetizers, salads, sandwiches... More »

  • 2009 | Best Breakfast Among the Hippies

    It's a measure of how far this city has come in the pursuit of dangerously untested culinary thrills (the eating of seitan, the serving of meals made of nothing but vegetables, creating a Buffalo wing made of tofu, which does not have wings) that a place like WaterCourse Foods -- where all of these high-wire gastronomical games are played daily -- now attracts more than just a dedicated clientele of twig-and-berry vegetarians, vegans and other ascetics. Although the restaurant can... More »

  • 2008 | Best Vegetarian Restaurant

    Though we've never been crazy about restaurants that self-identify as vegetarian (believing that starting from such a limited culinary position can only serve to strangle any creativity or free thinking in the kitchen), WaterCourse Foods has been in the game long enough to overcome any such restrictions. The result is a restaurant that has the vegetarian and vegan ethos worked into its DNA, that creates meatless cuisine simply as a matter of course, not as a reaction against anything... More »

    It's a measure of how far this city has come in the pursuit of dangerously untested culinary thrills (the eating of seitan, the serving of meals made of nothing but vegetables, creating a Buffalo wing made of tofu, which does not have wings) that a place like WaterCourse Foods — where all of these high-wire gastronomical games are played daily — now attracts more than just a dedicated clientele of twig-and-berry vegetarians, vegans and other ascetics. Although the restaurant can still look like a game preserve for the final holdouts of Denver's chipmunk-hugging Earth lovers, it's attracting a growing crowd of diverse diners — many of whom have a common goal: breakfast. Granted, a breakfast here must be eaten sans bacon, ham, hash or sausage (the four primary elements of any proper breakfast equation), but if you must go pig-free, WaterCourse is the place to go.
