In Manitou Springs, this slow-food cafe makes a lovely stop. Breakfast includes
orange-almond French toast and huevos rancheros (eggs and beans on a tortilla). Lunch
and dinner are more eclectic with offerings such as Moroccan chicken, pasta gremolata
and grilled watermelon salad. The interior is airy and attractive with marble floors and ex-
posed rafters, and there is patio dining and occasional live music too.

Way out by the Garden of the Gods is this buzzy
French bistro and bakery that's easy on both the palate and the wallet. Feast on delicacies
such as snapper Marseillaise, garlic and rosemary rotisserie chicken, and gourmet salads
and pizzas, and be sure to leave room for the double (and triple!) chocolate mousse cake
and lemon tarts.

One of the best choices in Old Colorado City, this Greek eatery looks and sounds
slightly touristy - lots of Greek monument murals on the walls and themed music on the
stereo - but the food is absolutely delicious. It does a nice Greek-dip sandwich as well as
traditional dishes such as souvlaki, dolmades and spanakopita. It's set on a 2nd-story ter-
race above a magic wand shop.
