Meatless in the the Mile-High City
Colorado may be known as cattle country, but WaterCourse Foods is a restaurant
that has strayed away from the herd to serve up a mouth-watering meatless
menu right in the heart of Denver. “Eat the path of least resistance”
is the restaurant’s slogan, and it lives up to that daily by offering
fresh vegetarian fare infused with local, organic, and whole foods. Opened
seven years ago by Daniel Landes, a graduate of the Natural Gourmet Cookery
School in New York City, WaterCourse has become one of Denver’s most
successful restaurants.
If you find yourself milling around the mile-high city and get a craving
for comfort food that is both healthful and vegan, this casual little restaurant,
just a stone’s throw from the state capitol and other city landmarks,
is a paradise for the vegan palate. Modestly priced and with a variety of
inventive and satisfying menu options that can be prepared vegan on demand,
WaterCourse is the perfect place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Start your day off right with the Amazing Banana Bread French Toast, which
is baked fresh, grilled, and then topped with maple-roasted walnuts, or
try one of the numerous tofu scrambles that made the place famous. After
checking out the bounty of funky boutiques, bookstores, and record shops
that surround the restaurant, stop in for lunch and fill up on their hearty,
healthier version of a philly—made with grilled seitan, mushrooms,
peppers, and onions on a fresh baguette. Or get tempted with tempeh! Tempeh
chorizo tacos and the best tempeh burger to ever grace a bun can also be
found on the lunch menu.
If you are looking to do dinner in Denver, WaterCourse’s delicious
stirfries, pastas, and barbecue dishes are unsurpassed. Check out the local
artwork that adorns the walls while you try to decide between the marinated
tempeh steaks, dredged and fried to perfection for a Tempeh Scaloppini or
the flavor fiesta of the Caribbean Jerk Tofu. And for all of you who salivate
at the mere mention of the word “barbecue,” WaterCourse offers
a stick-to-your-ribs-may-I-please-have-more-napkins kind of down-home barbecue-baked
tofu with steamed greens and mashed potatoes.
Oh, and did we mention that it has vegan gravy and the best vegan chocolate
cake? Both are yummy—but probably best served separately!
