American, Continental, German/Eastern European, French, German, Polish, Russian, Recommended, Menu

The building looks like a Tyrolean inn, and the food, especially the German fare, is a favorite of homesick Europeans. Service at the Black Bear Inn is top-notch, as is the traditional schnitzel and the yummy apple strudel.

Cafe Berlin

1600 Champa St., Unit 230 Downtown Denver

303-377-5896

German, Polish, Russian, Recommended, Menu, Slideshow

Cafe Berlin opened in 1995 on East 17th Avenue, giving Denver a go-to spot for hearty German fare. A lot has changed since 1995 -- for example, the restaurant is now in its third location, a second-floor space above the 16th Street Mall, where it moved in 2011 – but Cafe Berlin’s food has not. Eating in the spacious gold-and-burgundy dining room, you could be back in the ’90s, chuckling at Bubba, toting around a boombox and eating the same gravy-covered schnitzel. German-born Marlene Garrett purchased the restaurant from its founder in 1998, but she’s been a presence in the kitchen from the beginning, and under her culinary and managerial leadership, Cafe Berlin has successfully navigated a generation of boom-and-bust economies. It’s done so by playing it safe; this is not a place where you’re going to find creative variations on German classics. The jägerschnitzel and rouladen are your best bets for dinner, with housemade apple strudel for dessert.

The European Mart

5225 Leetsdale Dr. Southeast Denver

303-321-7144

Deli, European, Russian, Sandwiches, Retail, Best Of

The European Mart proves that good things come in small packages. This tiny store is packed to overflowing with smoked fish and sauerkraut, kasha and Danish cheeses, even Swiss specialties and Hungarian tidbits tracked down by owner Dmitry Gershengorin -- and the deli case is full of imported meats, pretty cakes and other baked items. You'll find such specialties as ajvar, a bittersweet spread made from eggplant and bell peppers, plus many different kinds of smoked fish, plenty of odd-looking pâtés, and tons of unidentifiable canned items that the grocers are happy to explain. Because Glendale boasts a sizable Russian population, the Mart also stocks Moscow's newspapers and Russian dolls. Caviar fans should ask if there's any on hand: Gershengorin often has the best price on fish eggs in town.

Red Square Euro Bistro

1512 Larimer St., Denver LoDo/Ballpark/Commons Park

303-595-8600

International, Russian, Best Of

Tucked into a nook in Writer's Square, Red Square Euro Bistro has a dark, plush interior with deep-red walls and velvet seats that line a massive wooden bar in the center of the space. The restaurant serves a menu of heavy European cuisine to diners sitting at candlelit tables. But as the night presses on, the crowd grows, coming in mostly for vodka. Red Square maintains a massive selection of imported and domestic varieties, in addition to a number of flavored types infused in-house.

Solomon's Grocery and European Deli

1939 S. Havana St. Aurora

303-337-6454

Deli, Grocery, Russian, Retail, Best Of

"Authentic" is the word at Solomon's Grocery and European Deli, where the proprietors -- Bukharan immigrant Solomon Gurzhiev and his family -- are bend-over-backwards friendly, the coolers are stuffed with a dozen varieties of kefir and farmer's cheese, and mom Gurzhiev whips up homemade pelmeni on request. It might be a long way from Uzbekistan to Aurora, but the Gurzhievs take the miles in stride at this Russian-Jewish deli, where they feature a compact selection of imported Eastern European foods as well as more than eighty kinds of deli meats, smoked fish, sausages, pickles and cheese -- so it's worth giving yourself an appropriate amount of time to examine the goods. The small but potent selection of fresh-baked breads offered daily at the counter are perfect for slicing and serving with the deli fare.
