Noisette Restaurant & Bakery

A review from a French guest I brought: I liked everything : the food, the service, the decoration and even more the bread ! I’m French and the food it’s absolutely worth it. Also the details and the decoration of this restaurant/bakery are just amazing.

Food was excellent and really delicious. Cocktails were fantastic. It was so loud in the restaurant it was hard to hear our own discussion.

I have been here eight times, so I guess this must be my favorite Denver restaurant. The space is gorgeous. There's a beautiful tile floor, a decorated ceiling with elegant chandeliers, a sweeping glass wall, and soothing colors. There's a good amount of space between the tables and a small bar next to the door (no bar seating). The next room contains the bakery and a little bit of seating for it. The staff is very polished and provides excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable service. The food is superb. The concept is "cuisine bourgeoise." Noisette takes everyday home cooking from the French countryside and elevates it to fine dining. I love this idea. The execution is flawless. We started with the foie gras. The serving was generous and came with some delicious brioche toast points plus a caramelized blood orange sauce. The liver was very smooth and flavorful. We also tried the scrambled eggs ("brouillade" sounds much fancier in French, though). I've had a number of egg dishes here, including a lovely quiche. What these guys do with eggs is unworldly. This dish is a saucer of very soft scrambled eggs with truffles and a bit of chicken stock. It is certainly the best egg dish I've ever tasted. I must mention the bread service. The menu describes this as a house-made baguette, but what you really get is a plate of micro baguettes the size of dinner rolls plus a crock of delicious brown butter (called "beurre noisette" in French, hence the name of the restaurant). Heating butter until its water content evaporates and the milk solids caramelize unleashes a unique, deep, rich flavor. A small example of the trouble the kitchen takes with each dish. I tried the cassoulet on this visit, a classic country French dish that involves throwing bits of leftovers and beans together to make a stew. I received a large crock with a huge confit duck leg, a pork collar (center cut pork shoulder), and a house-made Toulouse sausage plus lots of beans, of course. Every component was delicious, but the duck was amazing with perfectly crispy skin and extremely tender, flavorful meat. Every entrée here comes with potatoes and I'm allergic to them. They whipped up some sautéed spinach for me as a substitute. I'm not a spinach fan, but this was very tasty. I also had an issue with the almond crust on the foie gras, but without any fuss they were able to do a serving without it. Terrific service without any bother. My friend tried the duck breast with wild mushrooms, a very large portion, and his daughter had the steamed king salmon, served in a lovely pool of beurre blanc. They both enjoyed their dishes. Alas, no room for dessert on this visit. The attached bakery is not to be missed. It's open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Sunday until 2:00 p.m. They make an excellent selection of French baked goods plus those amazing quiches I mentioned. They have a new selection of lucious breakfast sandwiches, only available on Saturdays so far, plus a couple of lunch sandwiches that are available every day. Noisette is a really wonderful restaurant and bakery that is at the top of their game. Well worth a visit or five. Parking: The neighborhood is busy, but you can usually find street parking within a block or two of the restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: There's a curb cut directly opposite the front door. The tables are widely spaced.

Good fairy simple french fair. Will try again and consider an upgrade

Delightful bakery during the day with the best tea sets I've seen in a while.

Not sure we will be back. 40 minutes waiting for an appetizer without an explanation or comp. The skate wing on the Denver Restaurant Week menu was really good, yet not a compelling reason to go for dinner again. Disappointing experience overall.

Food was great ! With Cadot in Dallas, probably one of the best French restaurants in TX, NM, CO. It's a Michelin star or bib gourmand iirc. We started with the foie gras au torchon then we shared the entrecote (pour deux) sauce bordelaise. The entrecote (ribeye) was perfectly cooked (medium): first seared then au four, the sauce was delicious. We were sitting at a table next to the windows but it was still noisy: a few sound proofing panels on the ceiling / walls would help, imho. It was so delicious we went back the day after for the brunch: Galette saucisse and lobster vol au vent, both, again, very good. Early Jan '24. Good luck to the Chef.

Our server Rachel was so attentive and sweet!! We had a wonderful experience and she made us feel extra special. Thank you for the amazing night!

We decided to hit up Noisette for restaurant week for our wedding anniversary but the normal menu looked so good that we decided to not go the restaurant menu way. We decided on the fresh baguette, the scrambled eggs, sea bream, salmon and two desserts, the chocolate mousse and the deconstructed "gateau du fromage" with pear and cider. I always feel like the Hallmark of amazing food is eating something you would have great difficulty recreating at home and to this point, Noisette hit the mark. We started off with sparkling water and the baguette which I was delighted to see come in this beautiful braid, light and crusty with elevated spin on just normal butter. The scrambled eggs were not the normal texture you would expect and both hubby and I gobbled it up like heathens. The main courses did not disappoint as well. Hubby got an amazing salmon with a citrusy sauce and a cute little bowl of pureed buttery potatoes. I got a huge portion of broiled? or grilled? Sea bream with more of a sharp mushroom vinaigrette and a cute little pot of champagne fried potatoes. We ended the night with two desserts that were definitely creative. I think hubby got the better hazelnut sorbet but paired with the fruity pear deconstructed light and airy cheese cake, it really hit the spot. I think I was very surprised by the cheesecake. I hate dense cheesecake so when the waiter explained that it's deconstructed, I jumped on it. There's a bakery attached to the restaurant and the takehome pastry that they gave was perfect one chocolate croissant and another fruit black seasane based Danish that was absolutely heavenly with coffee this morning! I think we would go back if it was a different seasonal menu and really want to try more of the baked goods now!
