French Restaurants in Boulder, Colorado

French Restaurants in Boulder, Colorado
Ahhhh, Boulder, Colorado. Breathing in the air of 6,000 feet will transform you. Whether you've been hiking in the snow-capped oasis of the Flat Irons, kayaking down the white rapids of Boulder Creek, huffing and puffing next to world-class cyclists on the 8 percent grade of Lee Hill or running en masse in the Bolder Boulder 10k race, you deserve some tasty French cuisine. Hit up these restaurants, boasting French flair and local organic Colorado produce.

Brasserie Ten Ten

With an extensive wine list, creative French-inspired gourmet dinner menu, rich desserts and an affordable happy hour, the Brasserie Ten Ten is a Boulder favorite. Start with either the tomato bisque soup or French onion gratinee and a few appetizers (including olives, roasted beets or crevette frites) before selecting from the entrees (filet mignon, steak frites, bocuse, crepes or les macaronis & le fromage). If you still have room, indulge in the creme brulee, raspberry parfait, walnut tart or one of the many cordials.

Brasserie Ten Ten is in downtown Boulder, one block south of Pearl Street.
