The Michelin Guide awarded five one-Michelin-starred restaurants, including Beckon in Denver, Bosq in Aspen, Brutø in Denver, Fransca Food and Wine in Boulder, and Wolf’s Tailor in Denver.
Beckon is an intimate 18-seat restaurant that releases menus in concurrence with the four lunar seasons. The current menu is available between April and June.

Over in Aspen, Bosq, established in 2016, offers innovative and inspired cuisine from local farms, mountains and streams. Menu highlights include forest broth with black truffle gougères, Nordic Oscietra caviar, Sauternes-cured wild steelhead trout, roasted duck breast with mountain berries and hazelnut, and diver scallop with smoked char roe and Swiss chard.

Other Colorado restaurants making the Michelin Guide include Bramble & Hare, located in Boulder. This Michelin Green Star recipient is stocked by its sister, Black Cat’s organic farm, to serve up three-course dinners, craft cocktails and wine in a charming dining room. For meals, think tomato tart, butternut squash soup, pan-seared salmon, chorizo-stuffed quail, carrot cake and vanilla bean cheesecake.

Also in Boulder, Frasca Food and Wine invites guests to order from its quattro piatti or friulano menus. Highlights include pork belly with green garlic, sauerkraut and nutmeg; duck ragu with foie gras and 36-month parmigiana Reggiano; scallop with farro verde, lobster zabaione and salsify; and wagyu beef with sprouting cauliflower, lardo, aged balsamic and sultana.

In Denver, Wolf’s Tailor offers both small and large dishes, from piada bread with eggplant to paccheri with prawn, octopus, corn and squash. For larger meals, consider Colorado wagyu with garlic, balsamic and sugarloaf; or pheasant with tomato salad, salsa verde and hazelnuts.
The Michelin Guide showcased many other tasty Colorado restaurants, including The Penrose Room in the historic Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Rootstalk and Radicato in Breckenridge, Bin 707 Foodbar in Grand Junction, 221 South Oak in Telluride, The Periodic Table in Steamboat Springs, Tocabe in Denver, and Mawa’s Kitchen in Aspen.

Oct 14, 2026Time Travel: The World’s Best Aviation Museums Let Visitors Fly Into the Past
The desire to fly is lodged deep in the human psyche. Aside from the common dream of being airborne, references abound in old tales and myths. In the epic poem Shahnameh by long-ago Persian poet Ferdowsi, the fabled King Kai-Káús possessed a flying throne that was drawn into the sky and held aloft by a team of colossal eagles. Built of gold and wood, this throne craft may not have been aerodynamic in design or particularly comfortable to travel in, but it managed to bear the daring king all the way to China.

It’s a traveler’s worst nightmare: bed bugs. The insect’s name suggests they are limited to beds, meaning the worry is restricted solely to homes, hotels, vacation rentals and any other place we could possibly rest our heads. But, on planes? Well, bed bugs have and do indeed infiltrate the fabrics of even these seats, despite many of us not actually getting any rest on a plane.

Oct 12, 2026The Quest for Quiet: Choose the Best Noise-Canceling Headsets to Suit Your Travel Style
Back in the 1990s, when I was traveling on my airline pilot father’s standby passes, there weren’t many ways for passengers to cancel ambient noise while in flight. I remember squishing and twisting little yellow pairs of foam earplugs with my fingers and letting them rise in my ears while I swirled ice around in my Pawberry Punch and ripped open a cold pouch of Delta-branded Biscoff cookies. Much has changed in travel technology since those days; and although I’ll forever miss Dusty the Delta Air Lion, I’m happy to report no more need for plastic ear foam.
