In Short – Chef-owner Alex Gurevich's South American edibles bring stylish Denverites to this burgundy-hued restaurant decorated with exposed brick, wide-plank floors and antique wine casks. Menu items range from quinoa-crusted scallops with spinach and parsnip puree to crisp-skinned duck confit with cilantro rice and green mango. The happy hour pulsates to a lively beat and the patio overflows with trendy revelers soaking up the sun.
Fond memories of Peru
by junsj
We had just recently visited Peru, so after speaking with some people around Denver about the best Peruvian restaurants, we were referred to Limon. What an awesome experience. It reminded of just how amazing and flavorful Peruvian food really is. A few items on the menu were very traditional, which on a cold night was great (Lamb stew), the other people had tenderloin, which was great and our table also had the mahi dish. Service, ambience was great. We did not have a reservation and waited just a bit at the bar. The bartender was great about introducing some of our party to Pisco Sours and our favorite was the pineapple version, absolutely delicious. We will certainly be back soon, as Limon is now one of our favorites!!!
why not.

Cozy atmosphere, nice staff, but the food was surprisingly boring! Taste of salt. Uncooked corn tortillas with muscles?! Peruvian?! Lomo saltado... might as well change the intention of influence and submit to the Asian/ Latin style of cuisine. I would try many other restaurants again before returning here a second time.
- Pros: ambiance
- Cons: food is not exotic
Best mojitos in Denver, food rocks!!!
by bdds123
We were walking by and peeked in the window. Place looked cool so we tried it. Our server suggested a mojito and pisco (somethin'). I ended up having three mojitos. These are the best in Denver, period. I am a connossuer and must admit that this will be my place for drinks from now on. The food was also great. We had some appetizers that are foreign by name to me and a cebiche, which was amazing too. We shared the duck and it's better than in most French restaurants. Living in the neighborhood, I don't know why it took us so long to try Limon, but it is great, everyone should try it!
- Pros: Best mojitos in Denver!

Know Before You Go:
While walk-ins are accepted, the space is the size of a shoebox, so reservations--especially on the weekends--are highly recommended.
