    Yum! Fresh, hot and hearty savory pastry for breakfast. The Lamb with Spinach and Feta cheese was delicious! They have sweet pastries too.

    While visiting Tennyson's Halloween Pet Parade and Costume Contest, just happened to visit The Pasty Republic, and glad that we did. Got turned on to pastys on a visit to Mineral Point, WI, and couldn't resist. Ordered the "Joey," a mix of meatballs, mozzarella, garlic, red peppers, and marinara, and my better half got the traditional "Miner," which is steak, rutabaga, potatoes, and onions. Both were excellent, unique food choices that we so darn tasty and filling. Ate outside on a really nice day, soaked up the sunshine, and enjoyed a truly unique meal. I'm coming back.

    About 3.5. I like pasties, Denver area seems have some. I had the steak pasty, good deal with lots of stuffings. However taste was bland, and the baking was pretty thick.

    Amazing ambiance with fantastic service and even better food! Tried the country road and traditional miner, ended up getting two to go!!

    I visited this food truck while at the Farmers Market. This was by far the absolute best version of a pizza pocket that I've ever had! It was packed with meat and flavor. So filling. Not ideal for watching calories!! I'm looking forward to visiting the restaurant so that I can give a full review on service and ambiance.

    My husband and I only discovered this place at the end of our time in the nearby neighborhood. It's small and only open during the day. Even though we don't live up the street anymore it is worth the trip for a nice warm savory hand pie for brunch. They have breakfast and other savory options and one or two sweet as well. My husband likes the South of the Border with chorizo and egg. They always have at least one vegan option. Today I got the Foreman, which is filled with root veggies. The best part is the are made fresh everyday and stay warm in a case so the are super fast to grab in a hurry but also very fresh. They also have a variety of sauces to add more flavor. The pies are a bit pricey but they are very yummy and filling and are made fresh with high quality ingredients.

    These pastys are amazing! We just had pastys last month in England and these are just as good or possibly even better than the ones we had there. Lots of different types to choose from, friendly service. Gobbled them up before we could get a good photo. We'll be back!

    The word pasty rhymes with nasty, which I've never really understood since it should actually rhyme with tasty given how amazing these made-from-scratch hand pies are. This place has become my go-to breakfast choice on the weekend - walking the dog down to Pasty Republic and then heading across the street to lounge at Cesar Chavez park while eating a hot, sizable pasty is almost a weekly occurrence these days. The pastry dough is baked daily and each pie is hand-formed and stuffed with a wide variety of options. There's something for everyone here: vegan, vegetarian, and full-on carnivore options, all unfailingly executed and 100% delicious. The size of these bad boys deserves a specific call-out: I've always suspected that they weigh about a pound and took the time to actually weigh mine this morning. It clocked in at just over half a pound. These things are a serious full-size meal in a convenient to-go format. The staff here is never anything short of super friendly and accommodating. They also have a food truck that makes a regular appearance at the Highlands Square market on 32nd Street in the summer - same offerings, same friendly service. I love this place.

    One of my favorite food groups is savory goods wrapped in bread. Empanadas, dumplings, pies. It's all delicious and this little hole in the wall is on point with their selection and simplicity. I ordered 2 while I was here despite knowing one would fill me sufficiently. I couldn't help getting a second to go. I got Country Road which is just a tasty pocket of breakfast, the maple sausage was a highlight, I could've used a slight bit more sweet in there but the seasoning and temperature was so satisfying. The other was the Philosopher which the flavor combo really intrigued. I hardly see mint incorporated in Western dishes outside of sweets. It was truly a unique flavor profile. The almonds and feta gave it a nice texture with the spinach mixture. And as the other, the seasoning was pitch perfect. Great little spot overall. The price to size ratio is very fair and the crust of the pasty on both were flaky and flavorful, even on a reheat the next day. A must go to if you want to have something different, less mess, and even on the go if you want to enjoy the sites around the Highlands.

    Pasties are one of my favorite local foods found in Michigan. I'm from the state natively and lived there for 22 years. It was such a pleasant surprise finding out that there are pasties in Denver. There are two locations, with the other being by Cherry Creek and the University of Denver. I ordered the Miners Pasty (including beef steak, potato, rutabaga, and onions). It was very similar to a Yooper one with its ingredients and preparation. However, I do prefer the ones I had in Marquette and St. Ignace). I also ordered the Caretaker Pasty. It had the ingredients of a chicken pot pie wrapped into a pocket pie. This one was my favorite pasty from this restaurant. The ambience is that of a small cafe / bakery. The service is also fast, with the pasties already being freshly prepared. I'd recommend a Coloradan to visit one of the two locations to try a pasty.

    I popped into Pasty Republic on impulse one Sunday morning and wow what a pleasant surprise! I'm a huge empanada fan and these were huge, jam packed with fresh goodies, and piping hot. I tried the Country Road which was a perfect sweet/savory breakfast combo with maple sausage, potatoes, eggs, and cheddar inside a puffy empanada. The empanadas are hand held if you have a huge hand - I decided against being delicate and just bit out of mine! The spot is Covid safe with two small outdoor tables and one guest at a time inside. Definitely adding this place to my list and will be popping by again for lunch!

    Well, I have visited this restaurant 3 times. All 3 times have been for a holiday brunch or…read moredinner. Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

    During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.
