1515 RESTAURANT DELIGHTS DENVERITES WITH SOUS VIDE:
ONE OF THE HOTTEST CULINARY TRENDS OF 2009

Colorado Health Department Approves 1515 for Sous Vide Making it the Only Certified Restaurant in Denver

As the weather turns colder and food needs to get warmer, 1515 Restaurant is reinventing soothing, “comfort food” with a number of incredible sous vide creations including the critically acclaimed Monkfish, Buffalo Steak and fall-of-the-bone Colorado Lamb. French for “under vacuum”, sous vide has been a popular form of cooking in Europe since the mid 1970s and is now emerging as one of the hottest cooking methods in some of the nation's top restaurants.

Sous vide is a specialized method of cooking food in vacuum sealed pouches at precisely controlled, low temperatures for long periods of time. Vacuum sealing the food prevents flavor and moisture from evaporating while its cooked and since the food has not been diluted in any way, the final product is amazingly delicate and tender with exceptional taste. In addition, sous vide is one of the healthiest forms of cooking because fish, meat and vegetables can be cooked without any fat.

Famous for its award-winning, nationally recognized New American cuisine, 1515 is the only restaurant in the Denver area to legally practice sous vide cooking. In order to obtain sous vide certification, 1515’s chefs underwent a number of required approvals by the Denver Department of Environmental Health.

1515 Restaurant offers affordable fine dining and exceptional service, the freshest local meats and seafood, and organic ingredients from its rooftop greenhouse, all in a serene, unforgettable dining experience above Market Street.

Located at 1515 Market in downtown Denver, it is open for lunch Wednesday - Friday 11am to 2pm and for dinner Monday - Saturday 5pm to 10pm. Two private rooms are available for groups (up to 150 guests); parking is free in the underground garage at 16 Market Square (dinner only). 1515 also offers catering and private party service.
