Best Lunch Restaurants in Parker

"Originally founded in a beautiful pale-yellow Victorian house off Pearl Street in Boulder, Lucile's Creole Café has been bringing delicious Southern Creole cooking to Denver for the past 38 years. The quaint eatery attracts loyal crowds for their delightful breakfast specialties and mouthwateringly warm beignets, which can be enjoyed in the homey interior or out on the lovely porch and patio, which boasts breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains. The menu features creative takes on traditional dishes such as New Orleans praline waffles with pecans, fruit, and fresh whipped cream; eggs Sardou served with creamed spinach, fresh Gulf shrimp, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce; and blackened Atlantic salmon cooked Cajun style and served with two eggs, grits or potatoes, and a buttermilk biscuit."

"The beignets at Lucile’s are so good that they are offered both as an appetizer and a dessert. These fluffy, pillowy confections are served hot and topped with powdered sugar and are just as good as any you’ll find in New Orleans—yeah, we said it!"

"Originally founded in a funky old Victorian house off Boulder’s Pearl Street, this quaint morning eatery now generates long lines across the Front Range for its chicory coffee, beignets, pain perdu, and more Creole specialties."

"I love them just as much as an unadorned baguette or other pastry. That's what this Bonnie Brae neighborhood bakery is all about the visuals, with elaborately decorated cakes and other creations. But their bread is pretty darn good too, as is their French-themed menu."

"If you want to wake up to the warm, comforting smell of a delicious cinnamon roll, the Colorado grown, community-based Duffeyroll Cafe has you covered. What they have to say: "Duffeyroll Cafe has been a holiday tradition in Denver for over 34 years. As we approach our 35th anniversary(!) we are continually thankful for the support we have received from everyone who walks through our doors.

"These are freshly baked cinnamon rolls with cream and sprinkles on them – what can be better than that?. They are flaky on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, and just small enough so you can justify having two….or five."

Some are expensive and adventurous, like the Roll in the Hay including salmon and smelt roe, quail egg and wiggly sea urchin. Some are more accessible, such as Funky Monkey Baby stuffed with avocado and soft shell crab."

"If you are hungry in Denver, and you feel an insatiable appetite for sushi, then you should make Banzai Sushi your next destination.
