Reviews for Bistro Barbès in Denver, CO
Bistro Barbes is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Denver. The food is absolutely delicious! I don’t like meat nor... pumpkin much (which was on his menu) but decided to go try it out anyway after getting so many praises from friends! I ateEVERYTHING, that’s how good it was! Besides the food being perfect, the ambiance is really nice, chilled and cozy! The owneris the chef, server, etc. He does everything on his own which is admirable. I can only recommend this place for the quality offood, service and ambiance! Read more

Bistro Barbes Summary: truly a unique, hidden gem! Who would have guessed we have a North African inspired modern French... restaurant in Park Hill? And it's been here for four years! Location/Parking: Park Hill, near Elm and 26th Street. Streetparking only. Ambiance: small and narrow; nothing too fancy; elements of North African culture. Service: top notch! A veryhigh-level that you would expect at the most expensive French restaurants. Cocktails: we tried a house drink made from spicedcranberry shrub and ginger beer. It contained the spice called fenugreek. It was very exotic. It set the tone for theevening. Amuse-bouche: complimentary, ever-changing. Ours was tasty. Appetizers: we selected the beef cheeks. They wereextremely rich, but paired nicely with a more sweet and tangy coleslaw mix. Salads: we split the shaved pear salad as anappetizer as well. It came over a bed of brie cream and figs, topped with a red wine-cacao gastrique. Entrees: they were out ofduck leg, so they informed us they would be substituting it for duck breast. Toni and I still ordered the duck, and it wascooked to perfection! It was set atop of saffron basmati rice, roasted brussel sprouts, and butternut squash chips. Bob orderedthe hanger steak. It looked amazing! It was served with raclette over a bed of kale. I tasted some of the steak and it wasreally delicious. Desserts: we had been warned that the desserts are fairly small, but we still decided just to split onedessert among the three of us. It was perfect. We ordered the chocolate hazelnut creme brulee. It was definitely a differenttake on this traditional dessert, as it did not come in a ramiken, but was served over a pool of rosewater-infused whitechocolate with supremed orange segments, and petit meringue cookies. All in all, this was a great experience! I highlyrecommend checking it out. We visited on the Thursday night before Christmas and it was very slow. Hopefully they get much morebusiness soon!
