Bistro Vendôme · Park Hill
Jennifer Jasinski and Beth Gruitch's classic French bistro closed its longtime Larimer Square home on New Year's Eve 2022 and reopened in Park Hill on Kearney in February 2023. Steak frites, coq au vin, and a garden patio carry the left-bank feel into its new neighborhood.
Coohills · LoDo
Tom and Diane Coohill opened this LoDo room on Wewatta in 2011, cooking French-influenced plates with Colorado farmers, ranchers, and cheesemakers in mind. Burgundy escargot and a riverfront patio make it a downtown dinner stop.
Brasserie Brixton · Cole
This Cole neighborhood brasserie pairs French bistro cooking with a compact natural-wine list. Steak frites, chicken fricassee, and French onion soup give the menu its classic center.
Le Bilboquet · Cherry Creek
A Cherry Creek French dining room with white tablecloths and a full-service setting. Its menu goes to familiar bistro dishes: duck confit, escargot in garlic butter and sparkling wine. Order the duck confit for a substantial dinner, or begin with the escargot. The Denver location is the one covered here, at Saint Paul Street.
Café Miriam- City Park
A City Park cafe for a French-leaning breakfast or light lunch. Sweet and savory crêpes share the menu with espresso drinks and a bacon, egg and cheese croissant that comes with a small honey-drizzled croissant. Order a crêpe if you want the French side of the kitchen, then take a seat at one of the small outdoor tables.
