Bizarre laws abroad – have you been caught out?
Consider being fined or even arrested for some of the following:
- Feeding the birds
- Playing bingo
- Chewing gum
- Using nasal spray
These are all pretty harmless and normal everyday occurrences for most of us, but the above can get you in trouble in places like Venice, Portugal, Singapore and Japan.
The British Foreign Office dealt with almost 4,500 arrests abroad last year as Britons were unaware of some of the less obvious rules and restrictions in their chosen holiday destinations. (See www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23852495)
What bizarre laws in foreign countries have you ever come across? Have you ever been caught out?
5 Answers
I'm Portuguese, so the 'feeding the birds' ban sounds quite normal to me. That law exists because birds (and, more specifically, pigeons) soil everything. Just take a look at statues, pillars, churches and whatnot and you can always tell pigeons (a lot of them) have been there. Cleaning the monuments is very expensive (and let's face it, how do you like coming to a city that is constantly under repair?), so municipal authorities put birth control in bird feed. If others feed the birds, they won't go for this special bird feed… which leads to bird population growth.
As for me, earlier this year I came across a very interesting ban in the streets of Tokyo, where you can't smoke while walking outside (there are designated areas all over the city). I don't smoke, but I would be in trouble if I did and I hadn't happen to spot a sign on the pavement.
Lottie Gross I totally get what you mean on the bird front. It's interesting that birth control is put in the feed though – never knew that!
On the smoking front, my mum and I were in Nairobi last year and discovered (thanks to a fairly rude but informative Matatu driver) that it is illegal to smoke in public in the city – she certainly cut down on that trip :P
Never been caught out by any serious law, thankfully my research beforehand has served me well so far. I think a lot of it may have been sensible good luck as well though. I know there are some idiots out there who think that just because they are tourists the local laws don't apply to them, but I also think even the most prepared of backpackers can't know everything.
I wish more countries would implement that smoking ban like in Tokyo though!
I travel a lot with my old military bergen (it's sentimental, plus grenade proof so that's a bonus!) But I know that it isn't the best idea to travel in some areas like Madagascar or half of Africa with military stuff so I also have my back up backpack. Hey, that almost rhymed! But in some countries like Barbados, St. Kitts and Trinidad wearing camouflage is downright illegal. I make a point of knowing beforehand.
The funniest laws I have come across are in my favourite city in the world, good old Singapore! You'll get fined for eating a durian, for letting any one see you naked from a public space (hey, peeping toms are the perverts and you get fined!), not flushing the loo or dancing without a licence! God I love Singapore!
Nishi Jain Michael, dancing without licence? Breaks my heart! Though I have to give it to Singapore for being hard on the non-flushers. Seriously now THAT should be a law worldwide.
Lottie Gross How would one go about obtaining a license to dance Michael?! Do you have one? :P
Michael Huxley Nah, only to kill. I wrote it on the back of a Cornflake packet after watching James Bond! Haha!
I have no idea, I have never felt the need to dance in public in Singapore! Just think, those are some of the LEAST weird things they'll fine you for there!
Okay, listen to this one. In Sweden, it is illegal to use the services of a prostitute. Prostitution however, is legal. A catch-22 situation here.
And there's another one which is kinda sweet. In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, even, as the law states, "in a policeman's helmet."
Michael Huxley Good luck trying to get a policeman to agree to that now Nishi!
I think a lot of those old archaic laws will be thrown out in court if someone tried. Now what was that one about killing a Welshman with a long bow on the 5th Sunday of the second month of something ...
I've never been caught out by any of the following but they're pretty amusing… It's supposedly a legal requirement to be smiling at all times, except at funerals or hospital visits, in Milan, and apparently, a man can't relieve himself standing up after 10pm in Switzerland!
Also, any single ladies looking to parachute in Florida – don't do it on a Sunday, you could be jailed!
Michael Huxley Not standing up to pee?!?!?! Pirate tell me it isn't true! It doesn't seem natural!
"I wish more countries would implement that smoking ban like in Tokyo though!"
Oh my. They had a referendum in Switzerland not long ago. They had banned smoking INSIDE public places previously, but it's ok to smoke at the outside tables and chairs.
Seems the non-smokers thought (past tense) that they'd just get those seats for themselves. Nice try, though.
(Btw, Lottie, sent you an email on your Live.com addy)..
Michael Huxley They had a similar one here in the UK too Pirate. Now you can't enter a public building without walking through a cloud of poisonous gas from all the idiots huddled in doorways, still technically outside!
PirateAt50 I am positive that one day I will no longer smoke. But by the way it looks, i may not be doing anything else either ;)
Michael Huxley Ha! Good point!
I probably wouldn't mind so much if those idiots in doorways would just disperse away from the doorways to let people through! It's a few damn steps people! See, Tokyo has got it right!

"Breaking Open the Word" : James Cavanagh is the director of Evangelization and Catechesis for Metro-Area Parishes of the Denver Archdiocese. His weekly column, "Breaking Open the Word," is syndicated by the Denver Catholic Register, official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Denver. Click here to visit the Office of Evangelization & Catechesis for the Archdiocese of Denver.
December 11, 2011: Third Sunday of Advent • Isaiah 62:1-2, 10-11 • Responsorial: Luke 1:46-54 • 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 • John 1:6-8, 19-28 Theme: The third Sunday of Advent is traditionally known as Gaudete Sunday, a Latin word meaning "rejoice!" The spirit of joy, which resounds in all three readings, is underscored by the rose-colored candle on the Advent wreath, the altar cloths and the priest's vestments. The first reading comes from the second half of Isaiah known as the "book of consolation." Jesus selected this passage to preach from when he began his public ministry in Nazareth (Lk 4:16-21). It was written more than five centuries before Christ at the end of the Babylonian Captivity. In its original context the message of liberty and release from captivity inspired great hope in the exiles and much rejoicing. The responsorial "psalm" is from the Song of Mary, or Magnificat. Mary rejoices in God who chose her from among all women to be the mother of the Savior. Joy is also the theme of our second reading as Paul exhorts the Thessalonians to "rejoice always; pray without ceasing and in all circumstances, give thanks." Prayer and thanksgiving are necessary for joy. The Thessalonians are called to grow in holiness so as to be found blameless at the coming of Christ. The Gospel reading focuses on John the Baptist whose role was to "cry out in the desert" and prepare the way of the Lord. When questioned by the religious authorities about his role, John quotes from another part of Isaiah (40:3) to show that the time of Israel's true consolation has come. He was simply paving the way. In the context of Gaudete Sunday, his "cry" is one of joy. Key verse: "I rejoice heartily in the Lord, in my God is the joy of my soul" (Is 62:10).. Catechism of the Catholic Church: "St. John the Baptist is the Lord's immediate precursor or forerunner, sent to prepare his way. He inaugurates the Gospel, already from his mother's womb welcomes the coming of Christ, and rejoices in being 'the friend of the bridegroom.' Going before Jesus 'in the spirit and power of Elijah,' John bears witness to Christ in his preaching, by his baptism of conversion, and through his martyrdom" (No. 523). Pope Benedict XVI: "Advent does not mean 'expectation' as some may think. It is a translation of the Greek word parousia which means 'presence,' or more accurately, 'arrival,' i.e. the beginning of a presence. His presence has already begun and we, the faithful, are the ones through whom he wishes to be present in the world. Through faith, hope and love he wants his light to shine over and over again in the night of the world." ("Dogma and Preaching"). Application: John the Baptist, St. Paul and the Virgin Mary were chosen by God, each in their own special way, to bear witness to Christ. We too are called to bring the light of Christ to a world slowly slipping into darkness. One way we do that is through joy expressed in worship. On Gaudete Sunday we joyfully anticipate Christmas as we "await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ" (Embolism after the Lord's Prayer). James Cavanagh is director of Evangelization and Catechesis for Metro-area Parishes of the Denver Archdiocese. Cavanagh's column is distributed by the Denver Catholic Register. |

The image depicts the growing economy of the High Middle Ages in the West and the role of the agricultural revolution in making the 12th- and 13th-century intellectual revolution possible; fewer workers were needed in farming and thus many who heretofore were tied to the land were free to move to the growing towns.
The image was taken from John P. McKay, B. D. Hill, and J. Buckler, A History of Western Society, Volume A: From Antiquity to 1500, 7th ed. (Boston: Houghton-Mifflin, 2003), p. 294. The caption states "Allegorical harvesting scenes from a German manuscript, Speculum Virginum, ca 1190." The original painting can be found in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum, Bonn, Germany.

The Ukiah City Council didn't necessarily intend on discussing the future of the Grace Hudson Museum during a planning workshop Thursday, but the crowd of people who attended made certain it did.
Normally, the council's Strategic Planning discussions have staff members and only one or two observers present, but dozens of people, most wearing badges declaring their support for the museum, filled all available seats and then some at the May 31 workshop.
The attendees said they had been led to believe the museum and its adjacent Sun House would be a topic of discussion and Mayor Mary Anne Landis said she would be happy to take public comment on the facility if the audience wished to speak.
First, however, council members explained their strategic planning process for about an hour, during which Council member Phil Baldwin asked, "Can we have a discussion that's relevant to the majority of these people, or are we just going to ignore them?"
The council then forged on with discussions of tax-sharing and other matters until an audience member asked if they were "ever going to talk about the Sun House."
"Not if we can help it," joked Vice-mayor Doug Crane, and the resident took the comment in stride, saying he guessed the council was trying to duck the issue.
"I didn't immediately open it up to public comment because I wanted you all to know that you were welcome to stay and listen to what we had to say," Mayor Landis said.
The city owns and operates the Sun House and Grace Hudson Museum in cooperation with the Sun House Guild and Museum Endowment after being gifted the facility and its artifacts in exchange for "staffing and maintaining it."
But in her proposed budget for next year, City Manager Jane Chambers recommends laying off the museum's director and curator, explaining that she does not want the city's General Fund to pay their salaries any longer and wants to work with the guild and endowment to find a solution.
Members of the guild and endowment said they were blindsided by the decision, which they said was effectively shutting down the museum.
"If you gut the museum, you gut the heart and soul of downtown," said Jim Mayfield, president of Rainbow Agricultural Services, adding that he was struck by a comment Chambers made at a previous meeting, which was that the city needed to be run like a business.
"If you're going to run it like a business, then you need to protect your investments, and I can't think of a better community investment than the museum," said Mayfield, describing it as being built with the "blood, sweat and tears" of valley residents and maintained by the pocketbooks of the audience as well as those of their grandparents, parents and likely by their children and grandchildren.
"What we have here is a failure to understand the context of how we structured our budget process," Chambers said. "I did not recommend closing the museum."
"The proposal to eliminate the positions does close the museum," said Conrad Cox, advising the council to consider the costs versus the savings of that decision. To close the museum, Cox said, it would likely cost $1.5 to $2 million to properly categorize and store its collection, and a $3 million state grant awarded to the museum to renovate the park surrounding it would be lost.
Barbara Eversole, describing herself as a seventh-generation city resident, said when the city was given the museum it signed a legal agreement that it would "staff and maintain" it, and urged the council to "please think hard about what you're doing."
Landis said the agreement does not specify how the city should staff and maintain the museum, and Eversole agreed the agreement did not specify how, "but that you would do it."
"According to the agreement, if the city can't maintain the museum it goes back to the heirs," said Charles Mannon. "And if that happens, the only people that will benefit are the lawyers, and you can't let that happen."
"We understand how valuable the museum is and we understand that the guild feels the city failed in its responsibility," Landis said. "We know what you're thinking, we hear you and we're working on a solution."
Landis and Council member Benj Thomas make up the council's ad-hoc committee and have been meeting with members of the guild and endowment -- Paige Poulos, Monte Hill, Matisse Knight and John Moon -- to come up an agreement to keep the museum open.
"I believe we will get to a place where the needs will be met," said Thomas, describing the discussions as "increasingly productive and positive. I want to assure you that your wishes and ambitions are being very well represented by this group. We are not getting away with a thing. You should trust them, and frankly, you should trust us."
Landis said the ad-hoc committee had presented the guild and endowment's committee with a proposal and the two committees would be meeting Monday to discuss it. She offered to share the proposal with the audience, but the museum's representatives said they did not feel comfortable discussing it yet.

Three decades ago, Volkswagen engineer Peter Hofbauer found himself staring at a Beetle engine's cylinder head—that awkward slab of metal sitting on the combustion chamber—and wondering, Can't we just replace that thing with more pistons? The answer turned out to be yes, so he eventually started a company, EcoMotors, to do just that. The company's product is the opposed-piston, opposed-cylinder engine: OPOC. Each OPOC engine consists of two horizontal cylinders, each contain- ing two opposite-facing pistons. Twice the pistons per cylinder equals almost twice the power. OPOC weighs 30 percent less than the most efficient turbodiesel engines, and it has the highest thermal efficiency of any automotive engine in the world, converting as much as 50 percent of the energy in gasoline or diesel fuel into propulsion. A small OPOC-powered car could approach 100 mpg.
In 2010, Bill Gates and venture capitalist Vinod Khosla invested $23 million in EcoMotors, and this year the company signed development deals with a Chinese automotive supplier and the commercial truck manufacturer Navistar. Next it will demo a 1.2-liter, 160-horsepower OPOC in a compact sedan. Hofbauer says the engine is five to seven years away from commercialization, which would put it on the market well before federal fuel-economy standards rise to 54.5 mpg.
I assume the design was passed over in years past because of the complexity of it. There wasn't as much need to squeeze every last bit of efficiency out of engines until gasoline prices stayed high. Hopefully they can design it to be very reliable.
Also, I don't know if it's form factor will easily fit in the small space required for today's transversely mounted drive-trains. They may need to revise the design so the cylinder is oriented vertically rather than horizontally, though that may affect the efficiency of the opposed-piston setup, as well as causing lubrication issues for the upper pistons crank shaft, though there are existing designs that mitigate that issue.
Locating the cylinder from front to back and re engineering the trans axle could allow it to be front mounted. But here's the question, why isn't Detroit working along the same lines or beating down this guys door to buy it from him?

On Wednesday, Tennessee Commerce and Insurance Commissioner Julie Mix McPeak will host a public hearing in Cleveland to hear, and to have recorded into public record, these suggestions. The two-hour hearing will get under way at 10 a.m. in the Dixon Center on the Lee University campus.
Because of the complexities of the broad-reaching PPACA, McPeak — who was appointed to the state post by Gov. Bill Haslam in January 2011, and who has vast experience in the insurance industry — will kick off the session with remarks explaining the hearing's ground rules and which specific areas will be open for discussion.
The state commissioner's appearance in Cleveland is one of five remaining public hearings scheduled to allow public input on the federal plan and how it can be customized by state leaders. Hearings this week also are set up Tuesday in Kingsport and Knoxville, and on Friday in Memphis and Jackson.
Information distributed to news media outlets, and which can be found on the state agency's website (www.tn.gov/commerce/insurance), specifies the statewide hearings are intended "... to gather input about the health conditions that should be covered under essential health benefit categories."
Although we await Wednesday's gathering in order to learn the direction of the public comments, it is important to understand the chance to offer input, ideas and suggestions about future PPACA implementation in Tennessee is critical because the federal law is allowing individual states to design health benefit coverage based on the perceived needs of their residents.
The law grants states the opportunity to select a package of coverage from 10 basic plans currently offered by large employer groups. These mandatory categories required for coverage include ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance use disorder services (including behavioral health treatment), prescription drugs, rehabilitative services, laboratory services, preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management, and pediatric services including oral and vision care.
One public hearing already has been hosted by McPeak at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The session served as a good indicator of what's on the minds of Tennessee residents who have ideas about health conditions they believe should be addressed by PPACA.
One Tennessee resident, the chief executive officer of Nashville CARES, said he would like to see standardized care for HIV and AIDS victims. Another, who represented the National Alliance on Mental Illness, suggested the state consider using the BlueCross BlueShield plan that is currently available to federal employees.
Others spoke up on behalf of covering the cost of hearing aids for children and infertility drugs for couples struggling to have their own children. Another, who is a practicing Nashville attorney and who has struggled with multiple sclerosis for the past decade, suggested assisting MS victims. She said the cost of private insurance is prohibitive for most who are affected by this disease.
These are just a few suggestions state leaders have already received in just one public hearing. More will be coming and this is why local residents with insurance and health condition concerns should plan to attend Wednesday's gathering.
More information is available on the department's website. Those wishing to sign up as a speaker at the public hearing should plan to register at the site.
Because PPACA is in its infancy, residents should voice their opinions when given the chance, especially at such public hearings held in our own community.

Rep. Jeff Denham, (R-Calif.), gives his take on the timing of the approval of two energy projects.

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
In just the past week interior secretary Ken Salazar proved to major energy related projects.
The first one with the new oil -- actually the first one in decades.
Any also -- the largest wind energy project ever in the United States if not the world would be election only three weeks away -- Makers think the timing of these announcements.
Is a little bit suspicious to give me his take -- congressman Jeff Denham a member of the house natural resources committee it's coming back -- the show.
-- timing isn't it a little fishy -- this morning thank.
-- -- as well beyond suspicious -- 21 days out we've been pushing secretary Salazar and in President Obama.
For well over a year and a half and bid continues try to delay a lot of these projects that should have been moving three years ago.
Yeah I mean the oil refinery let's start with that went.
I don't really care -- -- -- we need it so it they're gonna go ahead actually do it I would be willing to give them credit for it I'm afraid.
That this is one of those fake like yeah we're gonna do it but it's years and years -- -- -- get locked ten times by then it's sort of like the XL pipeline.
Absolutely it is years away I mean this is a good first step.
But this is something that has been delayed for three years -- -- -- negotiated in 2003.
Bob and the majority of the work was done -- the Bush Administration -- it's been delayed now for three years.
I mean this is something that had we have the refinery on line.
Not only would it held North Dakota and they're out oil as far as -- they have right now.
But it would help relieve -- How did this huge issue we have at the pumps across the nation -- by lowering gas.
Prices OK so let's talk about you know this giant wind farm which sort of drives me bananas -- this timing also seems suspicious.
Also I mean I've gone -- done stories on wind turbines in you sit there and you look at the meter that's supposed to tell you how much energy generating.
And it really has happened to me every time.
It's a negative number.
Because it's using more energy to keep -- running and it's actually generated I think these things are they just don't work and it'd be nice if they did but they don't.
So is this really gonna happen and and how do you feel about it.
Well certainly they can work but the the problem is it's just such an expensive form of of energy.
This is and another one where if the president really wants to get it done -- regulations.
That he could wave.
The EPA regulations -- national EPA regulations he could certainly waive those as as they've done in other projects.
So if they really want to get -- done.
Then show the American public that you're going to expedite coming get them done immediately -- So we can actually have the impact of not only being energy independence and and moving towards that goal but also relieving the pain at the pump at the same time.
Let me ask you because you're on the committee -- Natural resources and you oversee a lot of these public -- that could be used for drilling the question keeps being asked again and again US President Obama says there's more drilling going on than there was.
Four years ago and in people respond with well that's on private -- not public plans we need to open up public lands.
Is that a fair response and I mean -- on the committee where we opening up more publicly -- It is certainly -- fair response.
You know the the proof is is showing that a lot of the projects on public lands have been shut down -- and with the government owning a vast.
You're expected huge majority of the landing California but across the nation.
It is public land it has a lot of these huge oil reserves -- and I went to jail and natural gas reserves that we just gotta be willing to go out there in debt.
And so the president has certainly.
Had a hands off approach on on all of the public lands and the private lands -- you have private individuals.
It already put the upfront cost and what you're regulating -- -- economy -- -- -- going after that oil.
You're on the committee can you make it happen.
-- we have.
We have William.
Not only given the states that is states' rights issues to be able to go out to do all their oil in their states if they they approve it.
But we've also done a number different bills to streamline the process and so -- -- -- bills everything from the Keystone Pipeline to other pipeline issues.
What we can actually move oil and and gas throughout the nation.
But it part of the challenge we have here in California.
Is right now -- seventy to eighty cents more per gallon.
I think the average price tags I don't mean interrupting but it's just -- time and I don't wanna let you go without asking you eat -- on the committee you say you're pushing -- so why isn't happening what's the hold up.
Oh we have a huge number of bills are all sitting in the senate took all the president needs to do is ask his friend Harry Reid -- -- -- the bills and he can immediately approve them congressman thank you so much for coming on the show.

The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghanistan's president accused U.S. forces of capturing and holding Afghans in violation of an agreement to turn over that responsibility to his forces, complicating a new round of security talks between the two countries.
Hamid Karzai's statement Sunday came just days after the beginning of negotiations on a bilateral security agreement that will govern the U.S. military presence in the country after the majority of troops draw down in 2014.
Karzai's critics say he frequently strikes populist, nationalist poses that give him leverage in talks with the Americans. Karzai, in turn, has said that he needs to protect Afghanistan's national interest in the face of a much stronger partner.
The two countries signed the detainee transfer pact in March, but U.S. has slowed the handover of detention facilities. Washington believes that the Afghans are not ready to take over their management, while insisting that the Afghan government agree to hold without trial some detainees that the U.S. deems too dangerous to release.
Karzai's spokesman, Aimal Faizi, said Monday that more than 70 detainees are still being held by the Americans.

in response to MemphisNative1972:
You are wrong. In Pastner's first year, he took a team that was shorthanded with talent and took them to the NIT second round. I know, far cry from what Cal did in his final 4 years. But it was still an accomplishment. Not to mention he sent a guy to the NBA that first year. Second year and he had to rebuild with a brand new roster. This time with more talent. But one of the premier talents ended up getting kicked off the team for fighting. Then we had to teach a freshman guard who was known for scoring in high school to become a true floor leader. That's never easy to do for anyone. But Josh somehow managed to turn around a disaster of a season and win the conference title away from home and make it to the NCAAs. Then last year, another rough start ended with a trip back to the NCAAs but with an upset in the first round. Those things happen to all the great programs. Even Kentucky, Duke and Carolina have had that to happen to them. This year, the team is seasoned and experienced. None of Pastner's previous rosters had any of that. A regular season 30-win season is definitely a possibility. This year will prove if Josh Pastner can coach or not. We should get to Atlanta with this type of talent we will put on the floor.
We still have to remember that Pastner is still only in his mid 30's and has only been coaching for 3 full seasons. But he's now more aware of what he needs to do and how to get to where we need to be. Look at the staff he put together this offseason. Brought in one of the top assistant coaches in the country in Aki Collins. Now he's landed arguably the greatest recruiting class in UM history. Not even good ole John Calipari did those things. It took Cal 3 years before he got us to the big dance. It took Josh, only 2 years. And it wasn't until Cal's 6th year that things began to shine for the UM.
Landing Austin was HUGE accomplisment for Josh. I would rank it up there with Larry Finch pulling in Penny Hardaway when most gave the UM no chance then as he was Arkansas bound but stayed home at the 11th hour. Austin, being a white kid, also will help Josh in recruiting other premier white kids that normally go to schools like Duke, Carolina, Kansas, etc. This will show them they too can play and be loved at UM. Do you realize the UM hasn't signed a white kid who was coveted since Justin Wimmer back in the 90's? That's way too long for a major university to go without signing a player of racial equity. Only in Memphis though could that even be possible. SMH
Good post. All the King was saying was some people come here and claim to know more than they really do. Kind of an over reaction there, mcs.

University welcomes Federal Budget boost
The welcome $13.7million funding boost for the University of Newcastle from this week's Federal Budget will assist the ongoing development of quality teaching and research facilities.
"The University is pleased our commitment to providing students first-class teaching and learning and research facilities has been acknowledged by the Australian Government through the injection of new funding," Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nicholas Saunders said.
"The University is looking at a range of options to expand facilities across the Callaghan, City and Central Coast campuses, and this funding will go some way in moving these projects forward."
The University will also benefit from a range of other measures for the higher education sector outlined on Tuesday night including:
- The establishment of the $11billion Education Investment Fund to support capital development in universities and research institutions
- The new Health Investment Fund for capital works an infrastructure for medical research institutes
- Increased funding for scholarships and fellowships.
"Despite these welcome commitments, the University is disappointed that the Government did not take the opportunity to address concerns about income support for students," Professor Saunders said.
"The need for increased indexation of Commonwealth grants and increased funding per student place also remain concerns that we will continue to call on the Government to address in future Budgets."

Palace Arms at the Brown Palace
Online Reservations
Located in the historic Brown Palace Hotel, the Palace Arms, in our opinion, is one of the finest restaurants in Denver. We asked for booth #10, which allowed us to sit side by side and gave us a good venue for people watching. We started with a soft shell crab appetiser and martinis, both of which were excellent. The dressing for the Ceasar Salad was prepared table side and was fabulous. It had a little "kick" from the fresh garlic, which was quite nice. One entree was the Palace Arms Rossini, a filet on a brioche with foie gras. The meat was perfectly cooked, and the presentation was beautiful. The other entree was Colorado rabbit two ways, served with vegetables and a potato puree. It too was elegant and well presented. It was memorable.
Celebrated our anniversary at the Palace Arms, and it was everything we had hoped. Went for the 4-course fixed price option, which is not much more than the price of the bison filet, which we both had, and which was delicious, tender, perfect. We chose our own wine from their extensive list. Table side prep of the caesar salad resulted in fresh, authentic taste. Appetizers were good and nice size; my fried squash blossom with fresh cheese and pesto was so good I almost licked the plate. The entree is just the right size, because we were looking forward to dessert. Bananas Foster was sooo good, and perfect sized portion to end the meal without feeling stuffed. Outstanding service from many staff throughout the meal, while never intrusive.
Had our 5th year wedding anniversary and it was spectacular. I suspect that on any given night, half the diners are celebrating some occasion. Old school service that's hard to find anymore. White linen table cloths and tuxedo dressed waiters. Table side Caesar Salad and Bananas Foster. Perfect foie gras and service that approaches perfection. Not an inexpensive meal but the staff and the kitchen deliver it's value.
We went there for our 20th anniversary. The service was impecable, it was quiet and romantic, the wine recommendation was perfect, and the food was amazing! We had the 4 course dinner - highly recommend it!
Absolutely amazing food and some of the best service I've had.
First class. Superb food, superb service. Surroundings impressive.
My wife and I had a wonderful time at the Palace Arms. Everyone was so friendly, kind, and very knowledgable. Basically, you get what you pay for...and this place was exceptional. One very memorable thing was the half-bottle of white, that my wife loves to state was masquerading as a red. It was one of the best wines we have EVER had, regardless of red or white.
Unique experience. The 8 course tasting menu was wonderful and enjoyed every bit. I could not have chosen between the hailbot and buffalo so terrific to get both of these outstanding dishes.
I worked at a 5 Star 5 Diamond resort and never saw this level of service and quality of food. We were blown away with every detail the staff took care of. The food was amazing. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and I could not have picked a better place to celebrate. My wife was walking on clouds after we left. The entire staff made her feel so special that night. The food and the wine were top notch. I can't think of one single negative during the entire night. What an amazing establishment. I finally got it right after many years of marriage. We'll be back for many years to come.
We decided on the 4 course tasting menu and at first I felt like I was not going to be satisfied with the portions but after we were done I felt very comfortable. It was nice not feeling stuffed after a meal like that. The service was over the top just like everyone had said.
I could prattle on once again about the dishes, freshly prepared, sauces and such, but once again - wonderful evening had at the Palace Arms. Fare can be interpretive, but is still traditional. I would not call the dishes exotic, but always meticulously prepared and equally well served. Wait staff is extremely professional, and attentive, but not pretentious. Can't go wrong here...
Celebrated 25th Wedding Anniversary here. Perfect food & service. Unbelieveable attention from the entire staff. So lovely. The four Course Tasting Menu was fabulous and had choices for vegetarian and meat lover.
Probably one of the best filets that I have ever had. The food is very, very good and presentation is exceptional. Service is world class. One of the best places to have a nice meal in Denver. Highly recommend
We spent the night in Denver at The Brown Palace. Dining at The Palace Arms was a special treat. Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food was top notch. The entire staff was friendly and attentive, yet professional. The long stem rose at the end of the meal added a very special touch to an already wonderful evening.
I have to say, every time we visit the Palace Arms, it's amazing, but this one took the cake. Thanks to the wine sommelier, our server Mark (and those helping him) and to the chef! We had friends with us and they had never been to eat here before. They said they consider this one of their "go-to" restaurants now. Thanks for leaving a lasting impression for all of us!
The Palace Arms is truly a classic. With unique decor and a superior staff , this is the type of restaurant that makes you feel right at home. The Menu, wine list , ambiance, service and full experience are some of the best I have ever experienced. I've spent the last 10 years traveling all over the world in the software industry and I do fine meals often weekly for entertaining. The Palace Arms blue my mind that such a fine restaurant was tucked in the lobby of the Brown Palace and to think I had stayed there so many times without even venturing in. Just an incredible experience all around . Their Afternoon tean in the lobby is also incredible.
Had a Perfect meal at the Palace Arms. Everything is as billed. I had the Bison Steak and my wife had Beef steak. We both had the Banana's Foster. Out of this world. Service was exceptional.
When the time calls for loved ones to share a special dining experience, then I recommend Denver's finest restaurant, The Palace Arms. An ideal setting for romance and intimacy one enters a world of elegance and charm at The Brown Palace. While staring at stately antique decor and treasures from another world it seems in an environment created for royalty, a dining experience becomes forever memorable. If you are looking for a delicious gourmet adventure into an elegantly comfortable restaurant where the staff is polished and truly they are artists of the highest and brightest stars, then the place to dine is the Palace Arms at the Brown Palace Hotel.
Very nice meal and excellent service. Restaurant trades on its long reputation, but was empty and lacking in ambience. Décor is stale and old. Prices are high for food that is very good, but not outstanding. I expected more.
What an exceptional meal at the Palace Arms. We did the four course tasting menu and we were not disappointed. Great good service and ambiance.
Great service and food. We were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary and wanted to go somewhere special. The Palace Arms certainly made us feel special without being "stuffy."
We both had the Four Course dinner, and I also had the wine pairing. Everything was excellent. I had the lamb and it was a real treat. My husband had the halibut, crisp on the outside and moist and perfectly cook on the inside. The wait staff was friendly and professional. A wonderful evening.
We had an excellent meal. Although the menu is limited the food was terrific and the service was great. Huge wine list.
The best dinning experience that I have had in Denver. What a surprise!
The ambiance was very nice. Not too crowded. The service is always impeccable. The food was good, but I have had better. My plate came to me a bit haphazard with my potatoes all over the plate, the asparagus under the meat-not too appealing. I much prefer Morton's Steakhouse steaks and meat. But for a once a year evening out it was pretty good. Can't say I would go back there unless it was a special occasion, or someone in my family or party wanted to go there.
Was a great dinning experience with my wife. When I made a reservation online thru opentable.com Iade a special request that if at all possible to get a nice private table for a special night out with my wife. The waiter came to our table and let me know he read my special instructions and thought it was sweet so he brought my wife a rose. Was not expecting that but thought it was such an awesome thing for the waiter to do. Would definitely plan on dining here again with my wife
If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, I would highly recommend The Palace Arms at The Brown Palace. The food was phenomenal. The wine list is the most extensive I've ever seen. The sommelier graciously helped us pair a wine with our dishes, since the list is in book form and they also have quite a few wines that are not on their list. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere reminds me of a time when people appreciated decadence and celebrating the finer things. I highly recommend the Bananas Foster, prepared table-side.
My wife and I found ourselves in Denver on our 50th wedding anniversary and we wanted something special in the way of a dining experience. The Palace Arms at the Brown Palace was such a place. The atmosphere is plush, the service was impeccable and the food excellent. We chose the "Four course sampler", which consists of smaller, but still very adequate portions, all tasteful and visually appealing. The Palace Arms lived up to its reputation as "the most expensive restaurant in Denver", so one doesn't dine there every day, but to celebrate a special occasion it is an excellent choice.
The outstanding service is the highlight of this restaurant, whice is in a nicely appointed, attractive room. One goes to a restaurant for the food, however. The menu is not large at the Palace Arms, but it has sufficient variety to satisfy nearly anyone. All of the dishes were well prepared, nicely presented and very tasty. I felt that there was a bit too much reliance on sauces, and in the case of the crab cake appetizer, the sauce dominated the crab. The pork tenderloin and bone-in ribeye were both delicious, and the Bananas Foster was terrific, but the brownie was disappointing, with a strange tasting (ginger, perhaps?) topping. The wine list is excellent. The coffee is not up to this otherwise very good restaurant's standards.
This is a beautiful place, and worth going to for the atmosphere -- if nothing else. The wine and the service were excellent, but some of the food items were below the standard that we've come to expect in good restaurants in California, where we live.
This was a very good meal and a good atmosphere. Everything was timed very well, never had to wait for anything.
The food is continental and was outstanding. The wine list superb and service amazing. Highly recommend for special occasion, small group of friends or spoiling yourselves. If in Denver again definitely would return!
For that special occasion or romantic dinner, the Palace Arms is the best restaurant in the state! The food is exquisite, the atmosphere is warm and intimate, and the service is impeccable! Suggestion: have a drink in the lobby and enjoy listening to the beautiful piano player before going in to dinner. My husband and I are already looking forward to our next visit!
Whereas it was once impeccable in every respect, the Palace Arms is now somewhat less than perfect. Yet, because there is no comparable location in the region for a very special evening out, it still tops our list for very special occasions. The room remains an elegant Empire gem. The service remains refreshingly formal, yet friendly and attentive. The food remains excellent, though not quite as uniformly superb as in "the old days". The caesar salad for two, prepared with considerable flair and skill tableside, was as exceptional as we expected. My beautifully aged ribeye was exceptional. My wife's halibut was very good, but not quite as good as in "the old days".
Everything we expected from fine dining in a historical room. The only thing we would have added is classy background music!
Surprisingly modern food in a very old school setting. Fun.
the food was as good as the atmosphere and the service. not that the food is bad. it's fine. but it is out-shined by the service: "refreshingly formal yet friendly and attentive" and atmosphere. the rabbit terrine was seriously underseasoned and flavorless. the foie gras appetizer was better but no wow here either. the lamb was nicely cooked and attractively accompanied on the plate (we asked to substitute potatoes for tibuli and were accommodated graciously) but the lamb simply needed more flavor. if you closed your eyes you would have difficulty identifying it as lamb. all that said, i'd go back in a heartbeat because of the service, ambiance, wine list and surprisingly reasonable prices given the high-end nature of this establishment.
The Palace Arms is unique in my experience dining in Colorado. Simply dining there turns the evening into a special occasion, and I find the staff to be welcoming and accommodating. We usually order the prix-fixe chef's menu and and the wine pairing. The wine choices are always interesting and work perfectly with each course. My only quibble was that my entree (bison Rossini) seemed just a big over salted, but my preference is for less salt than many people. We will definitely keep returning!
Great service and awesome food! I don't really have much else to say, other than how thoughtful the staffs were for my wife and I to celebrate our special occasion.
Wonderful experience; will go back and will recommend to friends & family!
My visitors from Australia were passing through Denver on the California Zephyr and stopped for a quick visit. They asked me to find "nice place" for dinner Friday evening, their" shout". So made reservations at the Palace Arms. My friends absolutely loved it. Not only was the food some of the best they had had in America (including a 2 week stay in NYC) but the service was hands down the best they had experienced. Everyone we encountered from Valet Parking to the bread waitress elevated our evening with their friendliness and professionalism. I could not have chosen a better restaurant than the Palace Arms. The ambiance, the decor and the low noise level allowed for easy conversation.
Everything was outstanding from food to service! We had a party of 5 ranging from 7-73 in age and everyone loved their dinner and talking about the heritage of The Brown. We learned that since The Palace Armes opened all but 2 Presidents have dined there. When we left our little Maggie said "I want to go back there every week".
Took my dad for his birthday, family flew in from out of town for this special dinner. Everything was perfect, the food, the staff, the decor. My dad was very impressed as were the rest of us. Looking forward to going again.
I have been here a few times and this time certainly did not disappoint. The food was outstanding and the service was as well. We had a wonderful time, the staff were very attentive and we left feeling very satisfied with our experience.
I was just in Denver for a conference and ate at three of the top rated restaurants, the Palace Arms is by far the best of the three. I usually don't comment on ambiance because I really only care about the food, however in this case I'll make an exception. The Brown Palace is a beautiful late Victorian Hotel and the Palace Arms is an elegant room, certainly a great place for a special occasion. That said we had the four course prix fixe, every course was delicious. I started with the soft shell crab, followed by a seafood soup. The soup was not a usual soup, instead it was presented as a small stack of lobster, scallop and fish over which they poured a delicious broth. I followed with a wegyu steak which was perfectly prepared.
The Palace Arms is always the definition of fine dining in Denver.
Excellent service without undue fuss and pretention in a superb, spacious and quiet setting provided equally great food with a voluminous wine list that had reasonably-priced treasures. An evening to remember. Would go back in a heartbeat.
This was our second time at the Palace Arms in a year. The experience was exceptional. The service was friendly and spot on. We really enjoyed the Bison. It is the BEST we have ever had. We did not care for the roast pig, was kind of bland and just not up to the standard of the other food. The coffee was wonderful and we just enjoyed sitting and having a nice meal in a quiet place.
The dining experience at Palace Arms is absolutely wonderful. This is our anniversary gem and has been the past 11 years
Everything was outstanding - wait staff, wine, dinner and dessert. Very attentive staff without hovering. Food was time perfectly and the quality, presentation and taste were excellent.
