the plimoth - a neighborhood eatery

the plimoth - a neighborhood eatery constantly uncovering new ways to share our love for food. as always, you stay hungry Denver!
(432)

grounded in French & Italian traditions, our seasonal menus showcase Colorado ingredients in fresh, creative, and thoughtful ways. The restaurant was conceived and developed by Pete Ryan, the owner/executive chef of the plimoth. Located at 2335 E. 28th Ave on the corner of 28th and Josephine, the storefront property was built in the 1920’s and has been a local staple ever since. The restaurant has

been completely remodeled by the plimoth team with the help of local craftsmen of the North City Park neighborhood. The layout of the plimoth is small yet spacious and can host 40+ seats including 15 bar and counter seats inside with an additional 25 seats on the brick patio. The décor is very rustic with lots of natural light, exposed vintage brick, reclaimed fir countertops and an original drugstore tile motif. Restored streetcar rails from the old 28th street trolley system act as footrests along the bar and counter, further tying the restaurant to its original roots.
‘I have lived in the area for over a dozen years and like many folks around here, I was patiently waiting for a neighborhood eatery to open. One day I decided to stop waiting for change to happen and instead decided to be the change”. -Chef/Owner, Pete Ryan. Aiming to be a culinary escape in an up and coming area, the plimoth will be inviting to both locals in the neighborhood as well as those from around Denver who are looking for a relaxed and comfortable dining experience. Focused on using local, sustainable and seasonal ingredients, the chefs at the plimoth will play off familiar farmhouse fare with a contemporary spin. Expect to see interesting menu items that embrace Colorado raised proteins, market fresh fruits and vegetables, and herbs from the plimoth’s large brick patio garden.
“We believe in an eclectic yet approachable love for food. Our chefs draw from foundations in classic French and Italian cuisine, finding inspiration in seasonal and local ingredients that offer a modern twist to each dish. Our ever changing menus reflect the efforts of our collaboration with unique purveyors, local farmers, and artisan producers.” -Chef/Owner, Pete Ryan. The fully stocked bar will feature an eclectic yet approachable wine list, a rotating selection of Colorado draft beers (as well as many small batch bottled beers!), and focused cocktail selections that will match the season and the offerings of the day.

Soirée sur la Côte:

A Summer Evening on the French Riviera

This July, we're returning to the sun-soaked flavors of the Côte d'Azur.

Close your eyes and picture sparkling blue water, winding coastal roads, bustling seaside markets and colorful villages perched on the rocky terrain
of the Mediterranean.

Feel the salt air on your face as you wander through Cannes, Nice, or Saint-Tropez... before settling into a long, leisurely dinner with good friends, great wine, and nowhere else to be.

That's exactly the feeling we're hoping to capture at this month's wine dinner.

Chef Pete loved taking culinary students to France and Italy in his past life as an educator because he watched those trips unlock a passion in them that they would bring back to the rest of their careers.

Our team has created a multi-course menu celebrating the region's freshest flavors (from the sea, the garden, and the market) each course thoughtfully paired with wines that feel right at home along the Riviera.

No passport required.
Simply bring your appetite and your favorite dining companion(s).

Thursday, July 23rd
5:30 pm

Space is limited and reservations can be made by PHONE ONLY.

BUBBLES & BITES

Slow food is the opposite of fast food and our Joyful Dinner event with Slow Food Denver (https://www.slowfooddenver.org/) was a huge success.

Huge thank you to Lilly Steiner, Emily Steels, Gabriella Wan, Nikki Knaddison, and Slow Food USA for the opportunity to gather as a community. We heard a lot of talk about the importance of transparency and how "organic," "local," "sustainable,” and “farm-to-table” have become empty marketing buzzwords.

You may have heard of the Slow Food Snail of Approval. Snails are known for their slowness and chef pete has plenty of escargot jokes like "Look at that S-Car go!" This award is based on six key areas: sourcing, environmental impact, cultural connection, community involvement, staff support, and business values.

We find that we naturally practice and pursue the very same values of good, clean, fair food for all. If you attended and share anything on social media, please be sure to tag us (https://www.instagram.com/theplimoth/) and (https://www.instagram.com/slowfooddenver/) .

Check out their website for future events, workshops, volunteer opportunities, and donation links.

Let’s be real…

It takes more than two to make a thing go right.

It takes a community.

We love that Pride festivities have downtown Denver buzzing, but if you’re craving a cozy neighborhood dinner, come as you are .

We know many of you have friends and family visiting this weekend, and our team has been hard at work preparing dinner so you can spend less time planning and more time together.
Whether you’re toasting before the festivities or winding down after a day of celebrating, we’ve got dinner, wine, and cocktails covered. 🍷

One quick note: We are not open next Saturday for the Fourth of July, so TONIGHT is the perfect excuse to join us.

Give us a call or reserve your table on .

Happy Pride, Denver. We’ll save you a seat. 🌈

06/10/2026

This month, we are trying something new.

We are participating in the Joyful Dinner Series (https://slowfoodusa.org/joyfuldinner/) by Slow Food USA in support of the movement for good, clean, and fair food for all. ⁠

Bubbles & Bites
Wednesday, June 24th
5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Join us for an evening of tapas-style dishes paired with a few different sparkling wines. We'll come together as neighbors, swap stories, and celebrate the people and places that nourish our community.

This simple, bite-sized event is perfect for folks who have never tried the plimoth before and want to see what we're all about.

Huge thank you to our local chapter, Slow Food Denver (https://www.slowfooddenver.org) , for all your help organizing and promoting these events here in town.

Space is limited and reservations can be made by PHONE ONLY.

Our hosts will confirm the number of guests in your party and any allergies or dietary restrictions so we can ensure everyone can enjoy our bites.

Give us a call at 303-297-1215.

Tickets $50 per person (not including tax and gratuity) and non-refundable.

There will be non-alcoholic options as well as cocktails, beer, and other wines available for purchase for those not interested in bubbles.

Unable to join us but love the idea of slow food?

Join us another night for a full dinner Wednesdays-Saturdays 5pm-9pm.

Here's some food for thought:

We can all do more to be intentional about how we source ingredients and value the hard work of the hands that feed us. But it's okay to start small. Every bit counts.

RIP Carlo Petrini

On a sad note, the founder of the global slow food movement Carlo Petrini recently died. His vision helped transform the way millions of people think about food, farming, and community.

Originally from the Piedmont region in Italy, Petrini was also admirably humble. He made a name for himself protesting the arrival of McDonald’s with bowls of pasta. What an absolute legend.

His activism started in Asti when he learned that local farmers were growing tulips for the Netherlands rather than their signature peppers according to his Washington Post obituary (https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2026/06/06/carlo-petrini-who-launched-slow-food-movement-dies-76/) .

In later years, he was concerned with how society fetishized food, arguing in the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/feb/04/slow-food-carlo-petrini) back in 2009: "We must normalise food rather than put it on a pedestal far out of reach." If anything, social media has intensified this disconnect.

Ages ago when he was in Italy, our very own chef pete tried the McDonalds in Asti and can confirm it's as mediocre in Italy as it is anywhere in the world.

But maybe that's the appeal of fast food? Either way, we'll choose slower to go farther any day.

look, we heard ya. more folks stuck around for Memorial Day than we anticipated. but the patio and garden needed some extra love. thank you for your patience.

today we are proud to announce we are opened the patio for the season!

while we always work hard to accommodate neighborhood walk-ins, it's always best if you can call in advance to make a resy after 3:30pm or book one on OpenTable (https://www.opentable.com/the-plimoth) . give us a call at 303-297-1215!

we are open for dinner service 5pm-9pm Wednesdays-Saturdays. dining inside looks like the best option this week until Saturday (see 5 day forecast below).

check out our SAMPLE MENU (https://www.theplimoth.com/ ) and let us know when you'll be in!

Weather Forecast

the weather looks a bit bleak over the next couple of days so we take no offense if you don't book a table on our patio until the weekend... but as they say, if you don't like the weather in Denver, wait 20 minutes and it will change.

please keep in mind that our patio is uncovered. in the event of rain or high winds, we will do our best to accommodate everyone with inside seating but cannot guarantee a move is possible.

additionally, our patio is NOT dog friendly.

commence the neighborhood pastime of people watching!

Father's Day

dads love a good meal. get them a gift card or book a night out to treat them.

to the moms, grandmums, wives, mother figures, and women who somehow keep everyone fed, clothed, loved, organized, and moving forward somehow miraculously on time… today’s for you. 💐

whether you’re celebrating around the table, sneaking a quiet moment alone, or dropping hints about where you’d really like to eat next week… we see you. just send them this as a gentle nudge. ❤️

and YOU. if you forgot to grab a Mother’s Day gift? don’t worry. a little dinner at the plimoth tends to go over pretty well. make the resy and book the babysitter to show just how thoughtful you are. 😉

gift cards available now for future date nights, celebrations, and mums or dad that need a “i don’t feel like cooking tonight” night

happy Mother’s Day from all of us at the plimoth. 🥂

we’re adding to our team before patio season starts.

ideal candidates are lookin’ to grow in their careers alongside an already strong front-of-house team that cares deeply about what we do and how we do it.

the plimoth is a neighborhood eatery where curiosity is encouraged. you don’t need to know everything... but you do need to have a passion for details, teamwork, and a great guest experience.

our dining room is a showcase of the local farms, markets, and hands that shape each ingredient before it ever reaches the plate.

we hire folks who are thoughtful, collaborative, and hungry to learn. gotta take pride in doing things well. can’t be afraid of very hard work or a little fun along the way.

if that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.

apply through our careers page to learn more.

and if you’re curious to see the plim in action, come in for a snacky sometime!

no brunch or lunch. strictly serving dinner wednesdays-saturdays 5p-9pm

we’re hiring!

need an additional farm-to-table LINE COOK as we head into patio season. we may also have some backwait opportunities this summer so stay tuned.

typical week: we’re open weds-saturdays + 1/2 day tuesday for prep and chef meeting. we go to the farms saturday mornings.

check out our careers page for details on what we look for on our tram and how to apply.

please no calls, no drop-ins. we will contact candidates for interviews.

HOWEVER if you’ve never been in and have the time to pop in for a drink or snacky, come grab a seat at the bar this week to see the plimoth in action.

we’re in the city park neighborhood.

proudly serving Denver since 2013.

P.S. no cornbread is NOT back on the menu yet, but this line cook will make lots of it.

P.P.S. there is no secret to the cornbread. we just use quality ingredients and a fun hot cast iron skillet

spring is here and that means all the farms are poppin' and the social calendar is getting full.

check out our website for the most recent sample menu.

as you know, it changes every day... but expect lots of green and seasonal menu items you know and love.

think ramps, morels, pea shoots, over-winter spinach, spring onions, fiddleheads, snap peas and more. for the carnivores: spring lamb loin, halibut pave, and our cracklin' chicken

for the vegetarians we have yummy a chickpea 'panisse' cake with everything green!

if you're looking to book our semi private dining room, be sure to make arrangements at least a month ahead. that's when general reservations open up.

call us for groups 5+ and we'll get ya on the books.

mother's day is may 10th

moms make the world go round and should be celebrated every day, but the best way to honor the mom in your life is to avoid a chaotic brunch

take her out to dinner BEFORE the big day to her favorite neighborhood restaurant. think ahead and line up a babysitter well in advance. she'll be so impressed with your efforts!

chef pete’s no spring…. onion. but the farms are poppin’ and boulder market just started!

we didn’t get much of a winter, but we welcome the green of spring… spring onions, over winter spinach, and lots of greens.

still a couple of weeks away for radishes and hakurei turnips though!

halibut season just started on the west coast and the pacific northwest supplies us with ramps (wild, garlicky leeks) and fiddleheads (young, unfurled ferns that taste like asparagus) from deep in the woodlands. morels are just around the corner too.

what seasonal items are you most excited about showing up on the menu?
