 Owner Jennifer Jasinski, her partner Beth Gruitch, and chef de cuisine Matt Anderson regale Francophiles with a contemporary menu of French fare at this charming bistro tucked into an alleyway in Larimer Square. Start with mussels cooked in a garlic and white wine broth to soak up with a warm baguette. On cool days, the thick, fragrant onion soup is very satisfying. Our favorite entrée is the juicy, grilled steak frites served simply au poivre or with a classic béarnaise sauce; the roasted chicken breast with garlic, olives and a tomato coulis comes a close second. Be sure to try the pommes frites, easily the best in Denver. A 60-plus-bottle wine list includes some very good house wines at $6 a glass. For brunch, we might sip a pastis cocktail while waiting for our pain perdu with citrus honey or crêpes filled with a combination of bacon, ham, soft-cooked egg and truffles. |
