Very charming locally owned Ethiopian restaurant. Run by Chef Maya with passion. She's quite philosophical - take a look at the art and sayings on the walls and in the restrooms. If you get lucky you'll meet her and her lovely daughter. If you like ethnic food you won't wan to miss this. Schedule at least 2 hours because things move slow.

S L O W food. The most DELICIOUS local and sustainably sourced food, prepared in house from scratch. It's so good!! Artsy ambiance that errs on the granola side. They have a globally inspired menu - the Senegalese vegetables are amazing. They have a great breakfast and phenomenal dinner. I'd recommend a reservation. This is my (Virginia) favorite place in the Colorado Springs area. You must go!

Local brewery with good quality tap options. They don't serve food. Just a place to pop in and try some good beer. Todd is the owner and was an Army tank artillery. He named the place after the red leg you get from firing artillery rounds out of a tank cannon. There's usually a food truck in the parking lot at night.
