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.

Miami-born Kristy Socarras Bigelow opened Cuba Cuba in 2001 inside a pair of conjoined Victorian houses in the Golden Triangle. Ropa vieja, empanadas, and vaca frita have anchored the menu for more than two decades at this family-owned Cuban restaurant and rum bar with a shaded patio.
Nola Jane Restaurant & Bar · LoDo
A LoDo bar and restaurant built around New Orleans staples, chicken and sausage gumbo, shrimp and grits, blackened alligator, and po'boys, poured alongside Hurricanes on a lively Market Street patio. A downtown outpost for Crescent City cooking with a cocktail bent.
