Nestled high above LoHi on the fifth floor of 2930 Umatilla, El Five boasts spectacular, unobstructed views of the downtown Denver skyline. The menu is an homage to the Mediterranean and features small plates built on bold flavors found throughout the region: Spain, North Africa, the Middle East.

Inside, the space is understated and sensual, flanked by a large, open-air patio for sun-kissed Colorado nights. As the newest restaurant in the Edible Beats family, El Five celebrates the confluence of flavors, ideas and geographies made possible by a subtle shift in perspective.

    From the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in for an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Our server, Casandra, provided some of the best service we’ve ever received—attentive, thoughtful, and truly invested in ensuring we were satisfied with both our meal and overall experience. The food was exquisite, and the presentation was on point. Sangria tasted great. Even as we were leaving, the gratitude from the entire team, including the kitchen staff, was evident. More restaurants should take note of the outstanding hospitality at El Five. We’ll definitely be back!

    My girlfriend and I went on a date here. The drinks and food were excellent. The baklava with yogurt was out of this world. We also got the tour around the Mediterranean and the pita with hummus, which was delicious. It was a great experience to try.
