Denver 52.80 Restaurant Week 2012 (Feb 25 - March 9)               

Denver 52.80 Restaurant Week takes place in late February and early March each year and provides a chance to dine at the top Denver downtown restaurants for rock bottom prices. 

What does 52.80 mean? It means that two people can dine at any of the restaurants on the restaurant week list for $52.80 per couple. Sometimes they also offer $26.40 prices for a single person. These are some of the best real Colorado restaurants, giving you a chance to take a break from the chain restaurants. During a time when prices seem to be surging out of control nearly everywhere, I truly appreciate the fact that Denver 52.80 restaurant week has continued their tradition of offering an amazing high end experience for an affordable price.

Every year the reservations seem to fill up faster, so make your reservations as soon as possible! Spending an evening at one of Denver's best restaurants is one of the best things to do in Denver during restaurant week.

2012's Restaurant Week(s) take place from Saturday February 25 through Friday March 9th. 

It can be difficult to navigate the list of restaurants to decide which ones offer the best experience for the dollar. Some of them offer packages that are priced about the same as their normal menu, which is fine, but personally I'm interested in the restaurants that I normally couldn't afford.

Some of my favorite restaurants for Denver 52.80 restaurant week:

The Capital Grille (reserve VERY early, alphabetized under T)
Vesta Dipping Grill
Fogo De Chao
Kevin Taylor
Bistro Vendome
9th Door
Elway's
