Best Veggie Sandwiches In Denver
(credit: Sub Culture)Denver is a booming place home to diversity and various ways of life. One particular lifestyle that has been embraced in the Mile High City is that of a vegetarian or vegan. In turn, establishments across the city have begun incorporating these sections into their menu, and it's become very easy to find delicious vegetarian meals. Delis are one particular type of restaurant that have begun catering to these types of diets, and you can find great variety and huge selection of veggie sandwiches all around the city. These are five of the best places to get veggie sandwiches in the Denver area.

If you can think it, they have it. Sub Culture has a massive menu full of interesting creations, including 13 delectable veggie options. Their sandwiches range from your typical deli staples like The Reuben (also available as a veggie sandwich) and The Parm (again available as a veggie option), to creations inspired from cuisines around the world like The Ratatouille and The Bangkok (both delicious veggie options). Also be sure to try their in-house created The Alpes (with portobello, cream cheese, cream cheese and basil pesto), or for a cold cut The Woods offers portobello, provolone and chipotle sauce. They also have gluten free bread, and can turn any sandwich into a vegan sub upon request.

Backcountry Delicatessen has been a Denver favorite since 1999. It is one of the busiest, best delis in the city and for good reason — they make great sandwiches. Their veggie section is not quite as big as Sub Cultures as they boast only four options, however, what they lack in variety they make up for in taste. Although there may only be four, each is a unique and distinctive creation with appropriately backcountry names like Hot Springs or High Plains. One to try is the Sherpa, a tasty concoction piled high with grilled eggplant, asiago, roasted red peppers, tomato, romaine lettuce and a garlic mayo.
1445 Larimer St.
Denver, CO 80202

Another place to find excellent veggie sandwiches resides in the lovely Larimer Square. The Market at Larimer Square has a nice selection of veggie options, starting with your basic peanut butter and jam, to more adventurous options like the Portobello Reuben and The Eggplant Parm. They also have ten different bread options (including gluten free), so you can mix it up each time you come back.

Parsley is one of the best restaurants for those who like to live on the healthier side. They have a wide variety of soups, juices, smoothies and salad options, as well as a sandwich menu full of healthy choices, including six veggie options.

City, O' City is quickly becoming one of the hottest restaurants in Denver that caters to all lifestyles. They use a community oriented, eco-friendly, and sustainable business model, which includes using local produce whenever possible, as well as their own urban-micro farm for ingredients. Not only that, but they stay open late, and offer an outstanding selection of sandwiches, all of which are available as a veggie or vegan option. A must try here is the BBQ Mac Wrap, stuffed full of bbq tofu, mac & cheese, coleslaw, house pickles and crispy shallots.
