    First breakfast stop on our trip and we were not disappointed. The gluten free crepes were perfect and filling. My husband's salmon Benedict looked amazing. Fun little spot

    Alberto was so helpful and the food is always great here! Great place for any meal! They also have a cute little bar and outside seating.

    Destroyed the Nutella strawberry crepe. So good. Definitely recommend.

    The food is always excellent as well as the wait staff! This time Alberto suggested the special of ny steak and poached eggs with hollandaise, as well as a Nutella strawberry crepe. Everything was amazing. Thanks for the suggestion Alberto! Will come see you again.

    René & Alberto were so awesome! the food was delicious and the customer service was astonishing, one of the nicest people I have encountered. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family!!

    Great service--fast, friendly, and welcoming. The food was some of the best I've had in the area in a long time. Colorado doesn't always compare to the East and West Coasts when it comes to restaurants, but this place is a standout. I enjoyed dining here with my family, and I loved that they had outdoor seating, so our pups could join us. The atmosphere was relaxed, and we never felt rushed. Definitely a spot I'd return to!

    Don't come here thinking it's an actual French restaurant. Some food items are French inspired. The menu is huge (which is never a good sign), they should do a few things and do them well but they don't. The interior is nicely decorated. Boss Lady ordered the beef dip sandwich and a cup of French onion soup. We know from experience that it comes with a au jus dipping sauce. The waitress didn't bring it and we waited close to 10 minutes to get her attention. She finally brought it without any apology. The meat tasted as if it came out of a bag. Her FOS didn't have a cheese layer on top, but mine did so we traded. For dessert we got the creme brulee, the topping was nice and crunchy but the custard was overcooked. The food was overpriced for what you get ONE AND DONE! WAY BETTER PLACES TO EAT IN DENVER.

    We came here for dinner tonight and the place is really cute. The food is really good and service was good. The only complaint I have was the music. This is supposed to be a French restaurant, but every other song was a Spanish speaking song. Very odd. If you're going to have a French restaurant and play French music, not another countries...

    Café de France exceeded my expectations! From the outside this unassuming restaurant looks like a casual cafe, but it's so much more. We stopped by spontaneously on a Saturday afternoon (late lunch) and we were seated immediately. Our server, Alberto, was helpful from the start. He walked us through the specials and the beverage deals (BOGO martinis and a mimosa bottle deal!) and his recommended appetizers. We chose to start with the (6) escargot and it was delicious, and the perfect amount of food for the three of us given what we ordered as mains. The quiche Lorraine was delicious and indulgent, with a great sauce accompaniment. Two of us selected the french onion soup, which was excellent as well and stands on its own for a lighter lunch. The Monte Cristo and Croissant BLT were so tasty and hearty, and while that would have been more than enough food, they're both served with your choice of a side and fruit. Through the whole meal Alberto was friendly and attentive and absolutely added a positive vibe to the meal! The price point of this restaurant might be a little higher than you initially anticipate, but it is worth every penny. I've lived in Denver for decades and still somehow never made it into Cafe de France, but my advice: go ASAP, and eat the crepes while they're hot!

    Omg the presentation is out of this world! France is definitely in the roots of this place. The food was great, the drinks were excellent and the service was great! We will definitely be back. I am French and the only downside was that not one person spoke French LOL. they actually spoke Spanish. Just wanted to bring out my French and couldn't find a single French waiter. Oh well I still loved the place and the quality was excellent!!! Def recommend this place for brunch

    Crème brûlée

    Amazing food, service, atmosphere! Such a wonderful experience all around!! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Will definitely come back!

    Seafood Crepe

    We loved everything about this dining experience. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Alberto (our server) was a delight! Will come back again soon.

    Well, I have visited this restaurant 3 times. All 3 times have been for a holiday brunch or…read moredinner. Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

    During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.

Death & Co is a bar that has been on my list to go to for a very long time. We made our reservation ahead of time, which I would highly recommend you do. I almost didn't do it, but I'm glad I did because it was limited seating still. The inside atmosphere is absolutely amazing elegant, upscale. This is the place to be. We originally sat at a lower table with a large couch and two side chairs. We had a group of six and we fit pretty comfortably. The only error we had was when the waitress was bending down to give us our first round, someone from the table behind bumped her and the tray of drinks went over. Honestly not really her fault and she was very apologetic. It did splash one of my party members, which is why they offered to comp us the drinks and we had to unfortunately move the table because of broken glass. They were fortunately able to get us into another table pretty quickly. It was close to the bar, which wasn't inherently bad. They gave us a fresh round of drinks. The food that came out was all amazing. We ended the meal with their chocolate chip cookies, which were divine. I'm pretty sure they were brown butter chocolate chip cookies because it had that excellent specific flavor you get from browning butter and baking. All in all, this place truly delivers an amazing experience. The wait staff was able to make amazing recommendations on cocktails based on what people's preferences are. The food was truly amazing. If you like good food and great drinks, I would definitely check this place out.
