My recent trip to Denver concluded with the best meal we had while visiting.
A friend who is local and a foodie (and aware of our food allergy needs) had recommended a few restaurants and we were able to get into Root Down.
I was so impressed with the knowledge of the staff. When my daughter listed her allergies (Dairy (ANA), Soy Protein, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, and Celiac) the waitress said that’s not too bad! My daughter was relieved as the waitress pointed out the entrees on the menu my daughter could enjoy. Then when I listed my allergies (Dairy, Celiac, and Nightshades) I asked about a certain dish and she said “that usually has Goji Berries on it but we are using something else right now instead. I was amazed she knew that Goji Berries were a nightshade.
I ordered the beet salad minus the cheese and the risotto. Both were wonderful! My daughter order the crab taco’s and although she wasn’t too sure if she liked them, she was able to try something new.
The best part of Root Down was that we were able to order dessert! We ordered both the tiramisu rice pudding and the truffles. Dessert! We never get to order dessert! Now I need to learn how to make truffles because that’s all my daughter can talk about. The desserts tasted heavenly.
I definitely would put Root Down on your itinerary when traveling to Denver with food allergies. They made us feel both special and normal! Thank you for making our trip safe and delicious.
