They were perfect in every way for our group of 14 for brunch! The food was great (best eggs Benedict ever), and the service was great. They gave us separate check groupings and did not rush us out. Highly recommend! This is a great neighborhood gem! read more

This is such a lovely French bistro. I can't say enough about the quality of the food (the fries are to DIE for). But the staff is also phenomenal! Sarah in particular is such a joy and made for such a lovely evening. Definitely come on a nice summer day when you can enjoy the beautiful patio read more

Amazing food & service! We came for brunch/ breakfast on a Sunday. We arrived a little before 10am and were the second people in so we had plenty of seating options. We requested the corner booth so we could sit next to each other and they accommodated. We split the croque madame and they made traditional escargot especially for us even though it wasn't on the menu! I had the French 75 and he had the cranberry bubbles - very bubbly and generous. My only complaint is they played Spanish pop and club music. I would really prefer French music at my French restaurant. It's part of the charm. This was very off-putting, especially in the morning. We asked to change the music and the manager would not. I am very sensory sensitive and can get quite affected by music, so I think we'll call ahead to see what they're willing to play next time. Sigh. Almost perfect! read more

Service was great, food was bland. I had the halibut. No seasoning or flavor. I still don't know what the green sauce was. Dessert was slapped together in poor taste with a granite of coffee that was tasteless and mascarpone spread on a square of fillo dough. Not worth $11 for dessert and $35 for the fish. I will not be back. read more

The food was good, prepared well and tasted amazing. BUT nothing came with my trout-no veggies, no rice nothing and there really wasn't an offer to add something. So for the price a bit more is expected. The dessert was mediocre. read more

Have dined many times at Bistro Vendome, first time at the new location and I am sad to say it wasn't good! The escargot had no flavor, the duck breast was tough and the lobster bisque was mediocre at best. The soufflé however was delicious. The staff was very friendly and nice but our meal took forever, so much so they reduced our bill. Reservation 7:45pm we were the very last table to leave at 10:30pm! I'm all for a nice long leisurely European dinner but at leisure not because I had to wait so long for my meal! The new location is certainly easier to get to and Park however I loved the ambiance and decor of the original location in Larimer, you really felt like you were in Paris!! Sadly disappointed read more

Consistently good service, and attention to detail. Mussels were drunk in wine and garlic, so good that I scooped everything up with the spoon. For dessert I had Paris Breast, very good. My only complaint is that the chickpeas frites were not crispy. read more

All around excellent food... my husband and I agreed that the fries were the best we've EVER had.

Great experience!! The food was amazing. Had French before but this place was super. My favorite was the escargot, which I had never had. Drinks were so good! My friend had a cocktail off their menu and I had an espresso martini and it was delish. Service was amazing. Host was kind, they were really accommodating despite us being very late. Our server was the sweetest and very attentive. Definitely would bring friends again! read more

Bistro Vendôme - French Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I will preface this review by saying I'm a long time customer, at least a decade, and am writing this as an evaluation of the new restaurant compared to the old. Most of the menu has been shifted from French to more "French-inspired." The onion soup has been replaced by a vegetarian garlic soup with very little depth. The Coq Au Vin tasted as thought it was fresh veggie broth with very little depth. Most sadly I have to say the soufflé has been changed to gluten free and it loses everything that made it such a beautiful experience. The food wasn't bad, the service was great. It's just not that unique French restaurant anymore. read more

The food tasted great and our waitress was really great. But the steak for the steak frites was smaller than usual... and there wasn't any music playing or it was so quiet we couldn't hear it? The ambiance was a bit off. Our reservation was at 9pm and a server (not ours, ours was great) cleared our plates literally while we were still eating. It kind of felt like he was in a rush to get dishes back to the kitchen for close. Not entirely sure I would come back again, but like I said, the flavors were good and our service was overall good too. read more

Always such a pleasant experience when I come. The ambiance is so intimate, great for a date or a night out with friends. They also have a private room for larger parties! The food is always great and service has been top notch everytime I've been. This is a classic restaurant that I don't think I'll ever get tired of! read more

Bistro Vendôme - White chocolate tarte - French Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Just as a quick notice do NOT get the butter, bread, or sparkling water... Now if you are rich and dine like this typically disregard this review. I was completely blindsided however at the costs and the venue of this place. What looked to be a cute atmosphere was quickly ruined by the loud atmosphere, ridiculously dim lighting, and blaring lo-fi music (so loud in fact that I could not hear my girlfriend). The food -- it was okay I suppose. I was not pleasantly surprised, I was not let down, it's exactly what you would expect for a "French bistro" in downtown Denver. That being said the pricing was ridiculous. After ordering a $40 entree and two $16 appetizer, I was expecting around $70-$75. I was shocked looking at the $99 bill after learning that they charged us for sparkling water, bread for the table, and added an automatic 5% gratuity before asking for a second gratuity on the check. What's even more ridiculous WE WERE CHARGED $7.50 FOR BUTTER. What started as a quaint and well-budgeted date night, turned into a $100 unexpected splurge, given that there was no disclosure that they charged for any of these "amenities". Food was disappointing, atmosphere was regretful, prices felt like a scam. I will not be returning read more

Brought some associates from out of town here for a semi-business dinner. Everyone was well pleased. First, they were accommodating when we showed up with two more than the reservation. The service was attentive and helpful with menu questions for those who don't know French cuisine. Also with the wine recommendations too. Pate and escargot were scarfed down pretty quickly to raves and everyone loved their entrees too. The place is broken up into different rooms with different decor. We were in what seemed to be the main room. It was lively but not loud on a Thursday evening. I'll definitely be going back. read more

We went here on Jan 1 and spent a great time with awesome food and nice ambiance. The duck leg was very delicious, crispy outside and tender inside. The sauce matched perfectly with the duck. I also loved the escargots. The sauce came great either the garlic bread. read more

Where to start.. As you walk up you see the unexpected patio, which is gorgeous! If it wasn't so hot out, we wouldn't have minded dining out there. We started with the escargot and the "all four" option for the charcuterie. The charcuterie board for 24 dollars was very plentiful.. With a couple more pieces of bread, we would have polished off more than we should have. For dinner we had a very nice and very reasonably priced bottle of Bordeaux. Went perfect with our heavy duck confit and light buttery bass entrées. For dessert we had the apple and pear tart on Rachael's suggestion. It was beautiful. The whole dinner was beautiful, delicate and well timed. Can't wait to come back. read more

I have eaten at Bistro Vendome three times since it opened in Park Hill, all for brunch. Each time, it has surpassed expectations. The food is so good and the staff so welcoming and wonderful, that it is exactly as my friend who I went with described: French food without pretension. My favorite dish so far is the Monte Cristo, but I also most recently had the omelette with spinach, mushroom and chèvre, which was buttery and delicious. I also always order the pastry plate, which has a selection of French pastries, including a croissant, as well as the pain et beurre, a mini baguette with a healthy serving of butter. Overall, this is one of my favorite restaurants in Denver, and I'm happy that it's even closer to my house than before. read more

Great setting and yummy food! The moules frites were so amazing!! Definitely would order them if you like mussels. The steak was great, as would the vegetable stew and fish. Loves the apple tart at the end too -- perfectly done read more

Such a good experience. My cousin and I wanted to have a French night and Bistro Vendome was just the place. The vibe was right and the food was incredible. Highly recommend the soufflé if you have the time. My bourbon smash was Christmasy and fabulous as were the escargot. Our waiter was very attentive and we could have been out of there in under and hour but we had time before our show. Can't wait to sit outside in the summer! read more

Amazing place. My boyfriend and I were walking downtown and stumbled across this cute restaurant. We sat at the bar and talked with the nicest bartender all night. She was so knowledgeable about the food and the alcohol and had amazing recommendations. The food was so delicious. We started with cheese and crackers, champagne and The Dutchess of Parma. For dinner we had mussels and duck confit and ended the night with 2 rich chocolate soufflés. We had an absolutely wonderful night. read more

I'd heard about this spot because of their great patio and always wanted to try it, so when some friends and I were meeting for brunch we decided to make a reservation! As it was a cold day we were seated inside, and I'll be honest, there's not a ton of atmosphere here on the inside. It's a beautiful restaurant but quiet, and definitely not a bottomless brunch type place. We ended up just ordering a bottle of bubbles for the table and making our own mimosas, which worked great. I ordered the Oeufs Bénédicte au Confit de Canard and YOU GUYS. Full stop on that sentence because it needs emphasis. It was exquisite. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten. It was so flavorful and tender and just perfect. It was perfect! I don't know how else to describe it. Every benedict I've had since has left me feeling empty and sad. I dream about this food, it's that good. The restaurant is on the pricey side but worth it. I can't wait to return on a warm day and park on their famous patio! read more

I had high expectations for this restaurant after reading the reviews on yelp unfortunately they did not live up to them we had the steak and fries three people had that and they were just OK they were cold one had to be send back the other two said they didn't care the French fries were cold the broccoli Luke. warm On the positive side the bread was good and also they gave you a complementary cold soup. !! But I'd look around there's a lot of other restaurants for dinner in this area read more

I've been searching for a great French place and I think this will be my go-to and recommended restaurant in Denver! The food is tasty, the prices are fair, and the service is fabulous! I ordered the escargot and French onion soup for starters. The escargot was so buttery and garlic-y and perfection in all the ways escargot should be! The French onion soup was also delish. Melty cheese is always a win in my book. Both the bf and I ordered the steak frites. He ordered the classique and I got the au poivre. Both were fabulous and perfectly cooked. The fries are seasoned with something similar to crack because I could not stop eating them!!! The aioli they came with was also delicious. I would go back just to eat those fries!! For dessert, we got a chocolate soufflé on the house because it was my birthday! Delicious and so light and fluffy. Yum. The service was impeccable. Our server was so friendly and knowledgeable! I highly recommend this place if you're craving some French style cuisine. read more

My boyfriend and I almost passed by this restaurant, but the super cute decorations enchanted us into walking towards it in absolute curiosity. Surprise, surprise the super cute decorations compliment the super cute French restaurant. The menu seemed really appetizing so we decided to try this place out. I ordered the eggs benedict with lamb meat and my tastebuds were practically screaming in delight when I tasted it. The lamb wasn't too salty, and it meshed with the eggs benedict very well. Even the side dishes were rich in flavor. I could not stop eating the carrots. After asking the server what the chefs did to make the carrots taste so magical, it turns out that they soak it into the lamb to give it a unique and wonderful taste. I'm definitely interested in visiting this place during dinner. They seem more known for their evening dishes. If their brunch dish is already so good I can only imagine how lovely their evening dishes would be. read more

We really enjoyed it for date night! The mussels were excellent, fries were excellent, and the bartender made a great gin sour. It's a bit pricier than what we'd usually go for, but we enjoyed it and our server was very sweet. read more

I really wanted to love this place, I was so excited to go for my birthday! They have a super cute private patio, great for an intimate dinner, takes you back to a little street in France. The food was Ok, the mussels and frites were awesome, the escargot were good, but lacking a bit of flavor, and the fried Gnocchi were pretty good. We would have tried more things, however we got up to use the ladies room, and tried to ask the servers by the bar for directions, and the lady ( her name was Rachel) was absolutely rude, directly asked us if we were " dining there" to be able to use their restroom. I am not sure if this was racial profiling or if it was the fact that we were the youngest table there, however it was very inappropriate. Back at our table, we told our waitress ( her name was Julia) about the incident and she apologized, and she was very attentive and nice the little time we were there. I find it very unfortunate that she even told us she had let her manager know and the manager never took the time to come to our table and at least acknowledge the issue, which does not really make me want to come back to this restaurant, and we ended up leaving to celebrate my birthday elsewhere. read more

Wish we found this place sooner! Went here to celebrate our baby's 1 month, obviously for us. We love French food and this place is very authentic! Everything we had was so delicious! The sauce for the escargot, we asked for more bread to sop it all up! The steaks were cooked to perfection and were so buttery, just melted in our mouths! I recommend the butter sauce add on they have. I had gotten the Roquefort (blue cheese cream) and it was good but not as good as the butter sauce my husband got. The fries were also delicious and I'm not a huge fry person. They had some sort of white balsamic vinegar on them and they were devine! Served with a side if mayo/aioli just like in France! read more

It's an ok upscale place to eat. Nicely renovated the space. The food was good but pricey.

The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. Matt, Ava, the staff, and management were also incredibly accommodating. We unfortunately had a medical emergency that required an ambulance and they showed care, professionalism, and empathy not only to our group but also the diners disturbed nearby. Thank you, our friend is okay! read more

Sunday, about 12:30pm, October 9, my girlfriend and myself walked to Bistro Vendome and saw Kael, the manager who was very busy. Nonetheless, we asked about seating outside, bc my standard is, if you don't ask, the answer is always no. He seated us and afterwards, Chris, our waiter was there! We ordered wine along with authentic French omelettes. Yum! The people along with the environment was delightfully relaxing. Never did we feel rushed. Needless to say, we'll be back. read more

Perfect night at the "new" Bistro Vendome. Had dined with them before on Larimer square. My wife and I decided to go out for a belated valentines dinner. Everything was spot on...the pate, the steak tartar for apps. Service was amazing even got a nice wine recommendation. We had the whole striped bass which I would highly recommend, delicious and great presentation. We even had a nice chat with Beth one of the owners. Great night out. Highly recommend! read more

Wowzers this place is absolutely phenomenal. The ambience is very romantic, albeit a little warm so I recommend going on a day when it is not 100 degrees. We had the mussels, charcuterie which included pate, and escargot. We also had the trout, duck, and a salad and the husbeast ordered the steak frites. Everything was cooked perfectly. The pate was not overwhelming as they sometimes can be. All around just a wonderful dining experience. read more

We had high expectations for Bistro Vendome and unfortunately they didn't meet them. It all started when we got to the exterior and couldn't open the door. Another couple followed us and also couldn't get the door open. So we stood there in front of windows of people wondering how to get in. Eventually we just pulled really hard and the door popped out. Even with those who worked there being near the door and windows no one helped us get inside... The interior is nothing special, and we waited quite a bit in between courses for our table to be cleared even though there were people working there standing around and near our table often. It always surprises me when people are there to work but not attune to the customers at all and therefore not working-it's poor management. I think the lighting could be dimmed a little to create a more romantic atmosphere. The LED fake candles should be replaced with real ones. The food was nothing special. Neither were the cocktails. My vodka cocktail sounded so good on the menu but had absolute 0 taste to it. I started with a salad that was bland even though it sounded stellar. Steak frites also tasteless, the steak not seasoned well and the fries soggy and overly dressed with sugar? Strange combo. The chocolate soufflé was the highlight. read more

Celebrating husband's birthday, I stated that on the reservation and to my surprise the staff had all signed a Birthday card for him. The server we had was amazing she recommended (per our request) and described everything perfectly. The servers do help each other out so the ambiance was relaxing and everything flowed smoothly. The French butter was an excellent choice for and extra $4 you cannot pass it up. The location is cozy and very convenient I will say if you want a more intimate setting go before 5pm that's when it gets busy. read more
