One of the most magical dining experiences of our life. Private, super cozy dining cabana right on the farm where a majority of the food is grown. Gourmet five-course surprise menu with every dish created as a masterpiece. Servers were super attentive to all of our needs, very friendly, and down-to-earth. This is one of the most unique and special dining experiences that Colorado has to offer.

About the restaurant

Chef Johnny Curiel debuts Mezcaleria Alma in Denver’s LoHi neighborhood, bringing the dynamic spirit of Mexico City to life with CDMX-inspired small plates and an expansive Mexican spirits menu. Located beside Curiel’s first solo restaurant, Alma Fonda Fina, Mezcaleria Alma marks the natural next chapter in Curiel’s culinary journey to share the beauty of Mexico through food. Each dish and drink draws from Curiel’s experiences in one of the world’s most renowned culinary capitals—a city where culture and tradition merge with global inspiration and constant innovation.

While Alma Fonda Fina is a love letter to the home-cooked traditions of Chef Curiel’s childhood—the comfort food found at traditional fondas across Mexico—Mezcaleria Alma embodies the unbridled innovation that defines CDMX.

Phenomenal - Chef Kate and her team have the perfect balance of genuine connection, personalization, and attention to detail. The long history and committed staff is proof that they are doing hospitality and culinary right. We savored every bite of Chef Kate’s ingenuity, and appreciated the sommelier’s suggested glass of wine that paired just perfectly. Casey was a gem and master of the dining room. Thank you everyone for a memorable evening. We will be in again!

Bistro Barbés was the ideal place for a date night, special occasion, or simply just a place to treat yourself. The food was delicious, the wine was delectable and the chef was a delight! Consider yourself blessed if you get a chance to order the duck leg confit. Will be recommending this to all our friends!

In our charming space, each day begins with stoves being lit, wine glasses being polished, and staff tasting wine. Here, we’ve cultivated a ripe passion for providing sustainable, eclectic farm-to-table fare and an unparalleled wine list that spans the globe. Our work with local farmers culminates in an abundance of seasonal dishes that are as much an expression of place as they are an immersive sensory experience. At 626, all are welcome, tradition is respected, and the novel is explored. Unwind, imbibe, and savor.
