Lande's of Denver – "A Restaurant for the Discriminating" – was located at 3130 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver. It is likely that these rooms changed names over time, but at one time or another, Lande's featured a Rose Room, a Blue Room, a Jade Room, a Gold Room, La Ri Ka Room, a Jungle Room and "The Famous Cock & Bull Room."

I remember eating here back in 1958 on a trip to the area. I was 13 years old and had rainbow trout for the first time.
