Mother's Day Restaurants in Colorado:
*Please note that this list of Mother's Day restaurants is in no particular order.
Wildflower
Mother's Day and flowers go hand-in-hand, so why not take her out to a restaurant named after flowers? Wildflower, located in the LoHi neighborhood of Denver, blends Mexican and Italian cuisines in locally sourced plant-forward offerings. But don't worry if you aren't vegetarian, they still have delectable meat dishes such as Lamb and Duck. Start your dinner off with locally fermented beer or mead, or go for a non-alcoholic elixir to keep things healthier without compromising on fun. We all love a cute little drink, right? Boozy or not! They also offer wine and cocktails.
503W
You will find 503W in Colorado Springs. The award-winning spot offers food and drinks that are described as contemporary American with an Asian influence. We love fusion! One Google reviewer noted that it is, "Hands-down, some of the best food The Springs has to offer!!!"
J-Bar
The Hotel Jerome is a bucket-list historical spot worth checking out in Aspen, and that's where you'll find J-Bar. From charcuterie to quail and a classic burger, there are plenty of options for any diner. There are other bars and restaurants in this hotel as well, so take time to explore! Although it's on the pricey side and frequented by influencers, it's so worth a visit. The fact that it draws tourists doesn't automatically render it overrated. Your mom will be enchanted by its distinctive atmosphere that oozes Old Western charm and high-class vibes.
The Nugget Mountain Bar
The Nugget Mountain Bar is a super cool spot in Durango that I visited on the recommendation of locals. It's more of a casual vibe, with beer and an awesome outdoor space with fire pits. For food, they sell sliders, which are absolutely amazing. The Filet Mignon Slider is insanely good, with blue cheese and roasted garlic aioli. The Nugget is laid-back and family-friendly, perfect for enjoying good company and yummy food. Your mom will appreciate the atmosphere and delicious food at this gem of a spot.
Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
Something about going to tea feels like the perfect Mother's Day celebration. So, go ahead and take your mother to Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse. This gorgeous teahouse offers various menus, including brunch, lunch, dinner, and various tea times. Although its roots and primary inspiration come from Central Asia, the teahouse offers a variety of cuisines, including Greek, Korean, and Mexican. They even have teas of the month! For an amazing experience with mom, you gotta check out this spot in Boulder. She'll especially love it if she enjoys places with a special history and experiencing pieces of other cultures. You can read more about their history here.
Philippe French Bistro
For those in the FoCo area, check out Philippe French Bistro. While a trip to Paris may be out of your budget (especially if you're a college student), you can still treat Mom to a French experience by taking her to this spot on Mother's Day. The business is family-owned, which gives it an extra special vibe to celebrate with your own family. Whether you go for brunch or dinner, you're sure to have an amazing time!
Remember, the goal is to make Mother's Day special by spending quality time together, and a great meal at one of these top restaurants is a wonderful way to show your appreciation for all that she does. No matter which restaurant you choose, you're sure to create lasting memories that both you and your mom will cherish for years to come. Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible moms out there!
