WaterCourse Foods

WaterCourse Foods is proud to serve a 100% vegetarian menu. Our style of comfort food has won over the hearts and stomachs of people from all types of dietary backgrounds. The greatest compliment we hear (and we hear it often) is when a initially reluctant patron, who was dragged in by their spouse or kids, says they never thought they would eat vegetarian food and now... more

In a town known for its beef, WaterCourse stands out as one of a handful of eateries devoted to the vegetarian. This casual, low-key place serves three meals a day, most of which are based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and meatlike soy substitutes. There are vegan and macrobiotic dishes available, along with items for those who eat cheese and eggs. The Reuben is amazing. ... more

Editorial Reviews from the web

brought to you by

Since I just reviewed city-o-city , which opened early this year in the original home of WaterCourse Foods, it seemed an appropriate time to check out what the new WaterCourse has to offer. First things first: The restaurant, which took over the space formerly occupied by the New York on 17th deli, is lovely. Large, bright and airy, with a big dining area and an ample kitchen, these digs are... more

My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner at Watercourse. The staff was friendly and really helpful. Our food was great and it was a nice walk from the pedestrian mall area in Denver. Get there early because they seem to stay busy.

updated review; not in my faves

brought to you by

happycow

Used to be in my top ten, but the past few visits no longer that high recommendation. Recently, I have found that the quality has dipped a bit, the waitstaff gave a vegan real cheese, and after eating here, it has not treated my belly so kindly. I used to feel healthy and light, like I made a wise decision. However, it has been less kind and less wise, heavy and burdensome feeling.

I've traveled (and eaten) extensively, and this is hands-down the best vegan food I've ever had. Do what you have to do to eat at this place.

BEST Restaurant between LA and Pittsburgh!

Took a roadtrip from LA to Pennsylvania, and this is the best vegetarian restaurant I have ever been to, not only on this trip. Try the gravy...it'll make you truly happy!

Our Favorite Veggie Restaurant

brought to you by

happycow

My wife and I live near Atlanta Georgia, and we have sampled vegetarian restaurants in many locations. This is bar none, our favorite place. We rave about it all the time. I have been to Denver several times, and this is definitely among the high points. My wife was recently in Denver for a conference, and she managed to eat at Watercourse 3 or 4 times. After a hardy meal, I usually pass on... more

Hands down, the best vegan bakery in the USA

brought to you by

happycow

I have traveled all over the USA and have eaten everywhere from the Millennium in SF, Candle Cafe in NYC and Sublime in Ft. Lauderdale and this little place outside of downtown Denver is by far the best vegan bakery there is.

The food is diner type food, but it is very good and they are very vegan friendly. The staff is friendly and attentive and the prices are very reasonable. I never... more

This place is a waste of money. Its way too expensive for what you get. I was told to get the Buckwheat pancakes, and I did, they were terrible! They had birdseed allover them and tasted like dry powdered batter. The service is nothing special, unless the waiter/waitress already knows you. If you are an ultra-cool hipster wannabe who doesn't eat meat and rides a fixed gear, this is the place... more

This is the best Vegan restaurant BAR NONE!

This place is awesome. After going there the first time on a business trip, I have gone every time since. It is always amazing and everything i have had has been unbeleivably tasty and beautifully presented. Take a non-vegetarian and let them be astounded at how good it can be. One of the most outstanding things to me is that this place actually has a lot of HEALTHY vegetarian food. Most... more

I like to patronize natural food/vegetarian restaurants and ordinarily would not be too harsh in judging them, but this restaurant is truly a waste of money. The floor and our table were dirty (the table had already been set up for new customers), and there was dried food on my cutlery. There were live flies in the window near our table. We almost walked out -- and should have. It was not very... more

some of the best food I have ever had

brought to you by

happycow

This is one of the best vegan restaurants I have ever been to, and I have been to a lot worldwide. It has a wide selection of food, everything, and everything that I have had is orgasmic. Try the Donna Lee for lunch and the biscuits and gravey/Amsterdam Hash for breakfast. The boston cream pie is excellent for dessert!

A Denver Treasure

brought to you by

denverpost

The Watercourse is not only the best vegetarian food in Denver (imo), it is also some of the best food in Denver period. The menu is completely veg, and everything can be made vegan on request. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert are all amazing. The vegan desserts measure up to any in the city. The drinks are a bit expensive, but the Thai ice tea is very good. Alcohol selection is rather... more

My family went to eat here on the way to Seattle. The sampler appetizer with hummus, pesto dip and something else with mushroom (i think) was amazing! And all vegan - I could even give it to my baby without worrying it had dairy. I had the smothered fried "chicken.." with mashed potatoes and peas/corn medley. The "chicken" had the tangiest, crunchiest coating that resurrected tastebuds that... more

My mom and I ate at Watercourse tonight. The food was hit & miss. Our appetizer, the Sampler Platter was okay. The hummus, tapenade. and pita were good, but the pestos had a strange texture, and were lacking in salt. My mom chose the blackened tempeh burger with quinoa salad and mixed vegetables. WARNING: the mixed veg is that school cafeteria standby of frozen peas, carrots, and corn. ... more

My husband and I along with two of our friends had dinner at Watercourse on Friday, April 6. The new location is beautiful! Everything is clean, pretty, and the whole restaurant flows really nicely. We were seated almost immediately, but got a drink at the bar while we were waiting. The wait staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The menu was incredible- there were at least 20 dishes... more

Something's Wrong Here

brought to you by

happycow

Hadn't been in a while. Don't work downtown anymore. So I can see the changes. Meal prices are getting insanely high-- not like they're cooking organic. Portions are smaller. Baked goods prices twice those of Whole Foods/Wild Oats. Building iS falling apart. Really noisy. No parking. They need to move. No credit/debit cards for orders under $10.00. Food is still excellent, though. ... more

While on a road trip, around the west, this was the best vegetarian we found. The food is exquisite. the tastes are unique and wonderful. the service waits on you hand and foot, and it has a great relaxed cafe atmosphere. DO NOT MISS THE SESAME SEITAN!
Five stars out of five!
