Alex Seidel's James Beard Award–winning farm-to-table restaurant inside Union Station — one of Denver's most beloved special-occasion restaurants with a chef's counter and outstanding market-driven menu.
Why It Belongs on the List
Mercantile Dining & Provision is a significant restaurants in Denver's food story — chef Alex Seidel (James Beard Award winner) built a market and restaurant inside Union Station around produce from his own Fruition Farms, creating a farm-to-table model that has influenced the entire Colorado dining scene. The chef's counter offers a front-row view of the kitchen; the seasonal American menu is thoroughly excellent; and the market section sells outstanding cheese, provisions, and prepared foods to take away.
