    Had an amazing lunch combo.   They never have disappointed me.  Since 1995.
    Meredith S.

    Still award winning in town as the best Asian spot (Vietnamese). Be picky if you like... this is the ONLY 5 star restaurant in Fort Collins, in my humble opinion. And it's so popular you should call ahead sometimes! When I am sad, I go there to eat. It always cheers me up. Because it is not only excellent food, but also the company and atmosphere.

    The first of 3 sitting areas.

    I stumbled upon this restaurant while scrolling through Yelp. I knew I had wanted Asian food, but I wasn't sure what type. This restaurant is in a little strip mall tucked in the corner and from the outside you can tell it is a little bit of a nicer Asian restaurant. They market it as a cocktail bar and restaurant. The menu is relatively straightforward . They have the appetizers some entrées, soups and some special noodle bowls as well as special grilled entrees. They do offer pho, but it didn't seem like that was the focus for this particular restaurant. The wait stuff was very polite and very knowledgeable. I asked for recommendations and ended up settling on a grilled pork plate with rice and veggies. My meal also came with a soup as well as a spring roll. I was a little tired, so I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee. The coffee was delightful. I like that they gave us a little thermos to be able to adjust the strength. The soup was hot and sour soup, which is not one of my favorites, but it wasn't bad. The pork plate was definitely the star of the show. It was grilled slices of pork that were seasoned wonderfully. It was served on a bed of lettuce and came with marinated carrots, cucumbers, and some slices of tomato. The spring roll was nice and crispy and I enjoyed the dipping sauce that came with it. While, I don't think the point of the lettuce was to make wraps, that's what I did with it and it was fantastic I didn't end up going to the bathroom, so I'm not sure how clean it was or if they had a changing table but the restaurant was very clean otherwise. My entrée was $16 and my coffee $8. Which is I believe reasonable for the quality and quantity I was given. I will absolutely be back and I highly recommend this place.

    Young's is a FoCo staple! They have great lunch specials, friendly service, and tasty food. Portions are generous. The lunchtime ambiance is bustling and welcoming. The Vietnamese coffee is to die for!

    Pho and vermicelli noodles were not bad, but not memorable either. Fried rice was kinda ketchupy. Big seating area and really busy! Friendly service, but wish they offered us chopsticks. Also, they also have two really nice aquariums, which was great for occupying the toddler.

    Pineapple Chicken

    This place is always busy, service is great and the food is delicious! So many options! We ordered the wontons for an appetizer - yum! And then we got two dishes and split them; we tried the beef and broccoli and the pineapple chicken. Both were great! The beef is so tender and flavorful and broccoli was cooked perfectly. The pineapple chicken is definitely what I would order again next time - packed with flavors, veggies and pineapple. It does state this is a spicy dish but ours wasn't spicy at all. I do wish the dishes came a little more saucier and would ask for extra sauce on the side next time, but overall a great spot for food!

Btw, I have been to France many times on business, have eaton at some of the best restaurants in Paris, really good, just not to my taste. Ok, we went here last Sunday, I wasn't hungry, but my wife was, so we thought we would use the card. Wife ordered a beef dip, one of her favorite sandwiches, not on my top 10 list. I ordered a charcuterie plater, figured we could take it home, which we did. Anyway, I took a bit of her sandwich, and even though I wasn't hungry, I ate about half of it. One of the best sandwiches I have ever had of any kind. Very simple but delicious. Baguette was amazing, beef appeared to be cured somehow, huge flavor, au jus was great. Today I am going to Timnath to meet a friend for lunch and I am going to make a 30 minute detour to get a sandwich for us for dinner. Not inexpensive, but worth it. Life is too short to eat mediocre food, plus I am a stingy with my calories, like to spend them on delicious food. Thank you La Boutique. Sincerely, Bret and Michelle

There's a few small tables as well as barstools along the wall, but most people ordered to-go. Check out the marketplace items, too. So cute!

I'm not vegan, but pretty close, so I always enjoy having a full menu of plant-based meals to choose from. I went with the samurai bowl and an impossible thoughts tonic. The samurai bowl exceeded expectations - the sesame nori-crusted tempeh was really unique and delicious with the caesar dipping sauce. They offered hot sauce but I ended up not really needing it because the bowl was plenty flavorful without. The tonic was also really interesting - lots going on but it really worked. In addition to the main menu, they also have a whole array of vegan cakes and cupcakes for dessert, many of which are also gluten-free. I had a GF lemon lavender cake. The cake was also fantastic and the texture was perfect. It was quite a large slice, so I'd recommend splitting a slice of cake between two people. A very good experience that I'd recommend for anyone interested in plant-based food!

Easy to find, super cute spot that seems like it was decorated with reclaimed decorations. Not as easy to find parking, maybe because we went on a Saturday. We got greeted by a lovely server, wish I could remember her name. She sat us at hour table an explained that the menu was 100% vegan and that they either grew the produce/products they use, or they get them from locals. Loved hearing that. I was feeling festive and in the mood for spirits so I got a dirty chai martini. Very tasty, although sweet for me. To eat, I went with the French Philly and French fries. I'm not used to eating a lot of salt l, and for me the au jus as well as the fries, were a bit salty. But over all it was really good. My partner had the Singapore street noodles, they were simple, but tasty and delicious. The service was wonderful, the aesthetic of the place on point, and good food and drinks.

Let me mention that I grew up in the Northeast, vacationing in New England my entire life, and this soup is spot on to the real thing-- a true MUST order, along with some delicious French bread & butter was all a wonderful starter. For dinner, our table ordered the "Hazel Dell Mushroom Wellington," a vegetarian magnum opus to be sure-- crispy & decadent, yet delicate pastry filled will savory mushrooms, yum!
