All of the establishments received just one Michelin star, and most of them are in Denver.
. The state tourism board is paying Michelin $100,000 a year for three years while local boards and two resort companies each gave the guide $70,000 to $100,000.
While all five restaurants are distinct, four were described by Michelin as serving “contemporary” cuisine. One is Italian focused, while another was noted as serving a mix of Mexican and contemporary food.“This is a proud moment for Colorado and for the Michelin Guide, with five Michelin-Starred restaurants highlighting the state’s debut selection of restaurants,” Gwendal Poullennec, the international director of the Michelin Guides, said in a statement.
Beckon, an 18-seat chef’s counter led by Duncan Holmes, was lauded for its rotating tasting menu inspired by the seasons. The Michelin inspectors particularly loved dishes like seared quail breast and confit leg accompanied by creamed kale made with sunflower seeds and a quail reduction. At Bosq, meanwhile, the chef Barclay Dodge was given props for his seasonal cooking that spotlights foraging, fermenting, and local farms.
The Wolf’s Tailor, yet another contemporary restaurant, received accolades for the chef Taylor Stark’s cuisine, which draws from Nordic, Italian, and East Asian influences. While that could seem all over the place, the Michelin inspectors noted that the menu feels “focused and cohesive.” And at Brutø, the chef Michael Diaz de Leon is churning out dishes with a strong Mexican flavor: Of note, lamb prepared two ways—in street-style tacos and in a ground lamb leg kushiyaki.
In all, five Michelin-starred restaurants may not seem like very many. But it does make it easier for diners to say they’ve eaten at every acclaimed establishment in Colorado.
