Best French Restaurants in Hampden

Absolutely wonderful new restaurant in Denver. The ambiance is perfect for an elegant date night. Drinks were on point. Food is on point with familiar Vietnamese flavors and french influences. The service was also great, with the server being knowledgeable, coat check, and check-in being on time. Friendly staff and great experience overall. The price is high, but I think it is respectable for the neighborhood.

Terrible way to place people with tables. Respect that it was Valentine’s Day but the restaurant had tables all over the beautiful place but placed us right next to each other in the back making it uncomfortable. Food was great. Service was amazing. But just didn’t know why they wanted to place three tables together with an empty place. Whatever.

My wife and I dined at Ya Ya's for our Valentines Day dinner. We both had wines we really liked, which were not unreasonably priced. For an appetizer we decided on the bruschetta, which was seemingly simple but absolutely fantastic! Crostini with a goat cheese dip and plenty of tomato salad with garlic and pesto - yum! We did, however, run out of bread before the rest, so they brought us more at a $3 up-charge. We were not really expecting the up-charge, but no worries, as the extra was worth it for us. For our entrees, my wife had the pasta carbonara, which she loved, and I had the baked lasagne, which I also loved. The piece of lasagne was HUGE, and I loved the flavors of the sausage and the sauce and cheeses. Not too spicy - just flavorful. We would both definitely order those again. For dessert, we had the panna cotta, which we ordered two of so we could enjoy it a second time for the next day's breakfast. The one thing which was less than perfect, at least for me, was that we were seated in the central area where they typically serve their brunches, instead of some of the cozier and more romantic seating areas. In a perfect world, we would have preferred the back right corner, but it was still fine. The ability to watch the kitchen and wait staff work did provide for some interesting entertainment.

Le Bilboquet is a regular favorite for us. The new renovations have made it a bit cozier and the new private rooms I think a good idea. The food is always very good and dependable. We had the cajun chicken which was excellent. I also had the Dover sole, a special on Thursday's and it was perfectly seasoned and delicious. We also got the normal crab and avocado salad which again was very nice. Very good food, very nice ambiance and service. I highly recommend.

We had a lovely brunch at Le French! The service was friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was lively but not loud or overwhelming. We had the jambon and gruyere crepe (tasty, but very plain) and the saumon fumé crepe (so decadent and delicious). And mimosas, of course; the perfect boozy complement to a French-inspired meal. I would definitely visit again to try some other menu options, and will recommend Le French to anyone looking to treat themselves to a fancy (but not too fancy) brunch outing!
