When friends or family come to town, deciding where to eat can be a challenge. You want something that feels like Fort Collins — local, memorable and a little different — but also a place not everyone notices right away. That’s where the concept of hidden gems come in.
Some of the restaurants on this list have been around for years, gaining so much local fame it might be hard to call them “hidden,” yet they remain relatively under-the-radar nationally. Others are lesser known even to locals, and located in unexpected spots, giving diners the chance to discover these surprises for themselves.
From longtime neighborhood favorites to unique takes on familiar cuisines, these nine hidden gems in and around Fort Collins show what makes the local food scene so special.
