We had a great girls day out!!
I did my first walking food tour Saturday, in downtown Colorado Springs. My friends and I all went together, for a wonderful girls day out! We had so much fun, we're already planning on doing the Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs tours too. Not only was the food fabulous, but the tour guide (owner) gave us some really interesting facts about the history of Colorado Springs too. It was really interesting and fun to meet all the chefs and owners of each restaurant too.
1. Giuseppe's Old Depot- We had homemade manicotti (with homemade pasta) the sauce was delish. The Chef paired it with a nice red wine.
2. El Tesoro- We had a chicken enchilada with a blue corn tortilla and green chile sauce. A FABULOUS house margarita and mexican cheesecake (cheesecake wrapped in a crescent with cinnamon and honey) was the highlight of this stop for me!
3. Slayton's Tejon Street Grill- We had burnt ends and a homemade onion ring and a berry infused martini. Very good KC style BBQ.
4. Savory Spice Shop- We received a discount on any spices we purchased. They had lots of samples and recipes set out for us to try.
5. Poor Richard's/Rico's- We had their NYC style pizza, a house salad and chocolate (almond and sea salt). Their house salad was great, loaded with tons of different veggies and blue cheese.
6. Paris Crepe- We had a very yummy crepe! Cream cheese, fresh blueberries, granola, and almonds. De-lic-ious!
Needless to say, we walked away stuffed!
I am in charge of planning the next "coffee" for the wives, so I was quick to book Rico's. It's a coffee, chocolate, wine bar (they also serve food). I love having the coffees at places unique to COS.
