Best French Restaurants in East Colfax

Long time diners at La Merise. Wonderful, cozy, neighborhood spot. Excellent service . Ordered 3 of our “usual” meals. Slight differences in all 3 makes us think new chef. Sauce a bit congealed (tasted great however) and prep slightly different (salmon appeared seared instead of poached). Prices increased a bit also. Guess it is a sign of the times.

Delicious food, beautiful dining room, very nice staff. I think they are definitely the high end of a food budget, but worth it.

Bistro Vendome turned out to be the ideal place for my wife and I to spend Valentine’s Day, which was as well our 49th wedding anniversary. The decor is charming and of course reminded us of Paris. The staff are friendly and sophisticated and the service was superb and timely. I enjoyed the French onion soup and the Coq au vin and my wife had the trout with a wonderful cucumber salad . I highly recommend the wine selection and of course to top things off they have a dessert treat called the chocolate bomb, which was a delicious and fitting end to a great dinner in a place with lively atmosphere.

Fantastic food. Calm and welcoming people, decoration, vibe…. Good space between the tables it doesn’t get noisy. Very nice restaurant.

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.
