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.
