Got the pain perdu Sunday brunch and it was amazing. Paired it with kielbasa cooked in apple cider which was divine. As for the cider flight, I definitely recommend the vanilla perry and blueberry lavender. Only regret is that we don't live closer! read more

13 Brix Cider Bistro - Pain perdu and kielbasa - Modern European Near Me - Palisade, Colorado

Sunday brunch at the cider bistro. Flights were a delicious way to try three flavors before deciding on a pint. They can make a mimosa out of the cider as well. We all had the croque madame which is the monsieur with an egg on top. Hollandaise was excellent, only complaint is too much bread - maybe just make it with one slice served open face. The bread, ham/jambon, cheese, etc were all good quality and delicious. Option of breakfast potatoes or salad - I had the salad and it was huge. Tried my friend's potatoes and they were pretty good, seasoned and a little crispy. Great friendly service. read more

Very disappointing experience, except for the server who was so kind and sweet. When we arrived we were alerted to the fact that food service was going to be delayed but we were okay with waiting. We had a flight of cider and a couple sides of frites, both of which were just "okay". You can read other reviews about the lack of ketchup! The server checked in regularly and tried to keep us updated on the food. However, we sat for over an hour and a half. The restaurant was not even close to halfway full. We saw that a large order was sitting under the heat lamps for about 30 minutes and feared some of it belonged to our table. When the food did finally arrive it was almost inedible. My daughter's Hollandaise sauce had become hard as a rock and her once soft boiled egg was now a hard boiled egg. I ordered a salad that was drenched in a tasteless dressing. One person in our party had ordered a version of a fancy grilled cheese and it was soggy from sitting under the heat lamps. When the manager came up to ask if everything was "terrific", I just couldn't lie. It had been an almost two hour test of our patience. I shared with him how disappointed we were with each of our dishes (there were 6 of us) and instead of apologizing and trying to make it right, he made excuses. Just sad. I was in food service for a very long time and I don't respect a restaurant that doesn't fess up to their mistakes. Our bill was not adjusted whatsoever. Needless to say, we will not be returning. read more

Cider & sandwiches were delicious. Very kind waiter who was knowledgeable about the menu & gluten free bread

13 Brix offers so tasty ciders. Sadly, they all weren't available to try which was a bummer. But the two they had were spot on. Although we didn't get food, I did have to go for a bowl of the french onion soup! So delicious even on a hot day! Staff were super friendly. I highly recommend this as a stop! read more

I actually really liked the ciders be at this place. My husband and I got the flight which was perfect so we could try the different ciders. My favorite being the pear and the cherry. I thought the Apple/Cinnamon was underwhelming, the Blueberry and Lavender we're super hard to finish. The brewery look at the counter is a neat look. The facility however is why I give this place three stars. I would give it two stars, but the worker was super helpful and the business is promising. However, one bathroom in which you had to walk in the back by the kitchen, through the sink area I thought was a bit tacky for the retro feel and for a new facility of that size (maybe they aren't finished with the real bathrooms?). It says it's a Bistro yet they don't have a chef, servers, a menu, and oh... No food! Yet!!!!!!?????? However, no where outside or on the doors does it indicate this, so several people came in hoping for food and nothing. The facility is a nice size, well decorated, but no food. Sad to start building a reputation for a food and cider place and no food. They are looking for an authentic trained French Chef (very admirable), but for it's tiny town location it might be a while. I was disappointed there wasn't food, we stopped to have lunch, only having a flight and sitting in a nice empty brewery/restaurant. Hopefully they find someone soon, I would like to go back sometime to check it out when it's at full strength. read more

Wildly delicious brunch spot. Drinks and food were amazing Took the dog to the outside pay

This is a new venture from a long time local winery (Varaison Vineyards). 13 Brix specializes in Varaison Vineyards' "Forbidden Fruit" hard ciders served on tap along with wines from the vineyard as well. They just opened and are not yet serving food. But that should happen within the month. Food will be on the French side and moules mariniere are being talked about as are charcuterie platters and other Eurocentric eats. Stay tuned for updates! read more

Amazing brunch on Sunday . Their ciders are first class, especially loved the peach cider. Benedict waffle was stupendous. Blueberry French toast my wife had was very good also. The salsa for the potatoes might have been the spicy hottest ever but had incredible flavor. Would recommend their brunch to all. Great food great cider. read more

The food was superb and Andy (the owner and cider maker) was friendly and informative. Our party of 4 had the Kielbasa "Frankfurter" with the tomato bisque soup. The French Onion soup was also to die for. Most excellent. read more

What a great spot to stop in for lunch before hitting the vineyards. Family owned and you could tell they care for their customers. Our server was super friendly and gave us all the places to check out in Palisade. read more

I haven't had anything here that I didn't like! I don't eat American ham, but their ham is great. This place takes me right back to my home stay in France. Same flavors that I remember. The only caution I have for you is to call ahead to make sure they are open. read more

I really like the town and highly recommend putting a few days in to see everything and get around I was excited to add this to our stops However I was overwhelmed by the menu ONLINE THERE IS NO FOOD WHEN YOU ARRIVE I don't want to leave a negative review BUT it's like the staff was unaware that the menu was so extensive and the reason they had the traffic More people asked for food than for cider read more

Good food, loved the selection of local soda picks even if you're non-alcoholic. Prices seemed a bit over the top and I'd consider expanding the selection on kid friendly stuffs a bit. Service was on the ball. Would definitely come back, though I get the impression it's more for the Young and Modern crowd than the family crowd. Good job! read more

Service with a smile at this unique little bistro that serves wines and ciders from their own winery/cidery. The wines are good and the staff very knowledgeable of local wines. Nice outdoor seating area that is beautifully shaded. read more

Pleasant surprise! Had a nice lunch with the family. The cider was just right, not too sweet and not too tart. I enjoyed the cinnamon cider. Wife had a flight trio taster all equally good. Food was tasty for lunch. Sandwiches plentiful, soup tasted amazing ( mushroom soup). We'll be back! read more

Great service and good portions. The Turkey pesto sandwich was delicious and big enough to share.

Food was good but the service was terrible. We got the food but they never brought silverware on the table, so when we asked if we can get some silverware, the server was very pissed and told us we need to wait. Really? Very disappointed read more

All three of us had flights and had cider flights in another location. These at 13 degrees Brix were awesome so tasty. We sat outside on the patio and watch the sunset. Could be a very romantic spot. Too bad I'm with two other women! Nicest staff. Got the rundown from the owner on how each of the ciders is constructed. Perfect ending to our day in Palisade read more

This place was an incredible find on our way back to the Denver area. You must try the French onion as well as the cran cider! Andy made our experience phenomenal and I know where I will be heading next time we are in town. read more

Food was so good! Service was great! Would recommend to anyone! Had a flight of cider and enjoyed all of them!

Pleasantly surprised. Stumbled upon the Bistro looking for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Newly opened. Counter order White tablecloths. Friendly everyone Unique combination dishes...Benedict on waffle. Eggs and yummy hash browns with a tasty whole German sausage. Croissants from France ! Highly recommend. Only breakfast and lunch A little slow with presentation of our meals but they are working out the kinks. read more

Super cute place! It's convenient to find and the staff was so friendly and welcoming! There is a nice patio as well, it isn't very big but it is comfortable and has nice shade. I didn't sit inside but there is ample room and is decorated very well. The gentleman who opened 13 Brix is understandably proud of his new digs and has set up a fantastic place. Onto the great stuff! Their ciders are the drier style and still have a nice fruity flavor that isn't overwhelming like some ciders. Luckily, it tastes NOTHING like Angry Orchard, so bottom line is their ciders taste crisp and clean. It has the taste of the actual refreshing fruit and of course locally grown! I highly recommend the pear and the peach cider is not to be missed as well. They are relatively new and don't offer food even though it is labeled as a bistro. However, it sounds like that is short-term as they are looking for a chef. Even though they were still going through the "opening phase" and permits etc. it was clean, inviting, and other than lack of food, it is a perfect stop to enjoy cider. I think it rivals any other cidery (sp?) in town and will hopefully only improve when they have everything settled in. Don't let the lack of food stop you from going!!! They do also sell their cider and I happily purchased a four pack of both peach and pear cider. Once I go back to try the food, I'll hopefully be giving it the 5th star! I look forward to returning and trying even more. read more

Yummy food and friendly people! Located near downtown Palisade! Try their cider flight!

Very chic, hard cider bar, with tasty French inspired lunch fare. If you like artisanal, perfectly carbonated, excellently balanced, thirst quenching house crafted hard ciders, then this is the place for you. Unlike the homey beer brewery pubs that have characterized Pallisade, 13 Brix represents the coming Napa Valley-like focus on new flavors and textures that will alter the landscape of this beautiful town. Architecturally unique, this transformed service station is unique and comfortable at the same time. The service was warm and thoughtful; the owner made several visits to our table to ensure our satisfaction. The food was superb; French inspired and very nicely done. The pear cider, heavenly. If you are anywhere close to Pallisade and don't visit 13 Brix, you are making a huge mistake. read more

13 Brix Cider Bistro - Modern European Near Me - Palisade, Colorado

Best cider I've EVER had. "Just peachy" was my absolute favorite!!! Also liked the black Moscato wine - very unique. All local flavors, of course! This place is super under-the-radar (for now...). It's only been open for about three weeks; the owner is extremely nice and knowledgeable. Beautifully renovated old building. Cool, modern atmosphere. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I'm gonna bet this place will explode in popularity as soon as they start serving their French/Mediterranean menu ;) If you want to try any of their amazing brews, you will have to come out here... they don't distribute! But it's well worth the trip, and your friends will love you. Though how could you possibly share this delicious stuff?! read more

Both the food and the cider was fantastic. Classic French fare - our savory crepes were definitely the highlight but everything was really good. Even the fruit served on the side (green apples, an obvious nod to the cider). These weren't just sliced tart green apples, they were lightly drizzled with a honey syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon. I've never been a big fan of green apples but this simple alteration made me a tart apple convert. read more

Usually a chef special is something to beware of.. this chef is AWESOME! If you get the chance to try his duck BLT you will not be disappointed! Two thumbs way up read more

The food was good but the service was awful! We ordered food, 3 cups of coffee and cream. The young waitress came to our table and told us they were busy and it would take 15 minutes for our coffee. Twenty minutes later she brought our food, I asked for hot sauce and our coffee. Ten minutes later she came back with two cups of coffee and said they were out of hot sauce. I asked for the other cup of coffee, cream and sugar but she never came back. We finished our food and left. read more

Went in for a lunch date with my father who is a very picky eater and was very impressed with the menu! I had heard that they had the best French onion soup so that's what we had and the rumor was true. My father said it's the BEST he has ever had. The service was amazing , and the restaurant is very clean. I can't wait to go back for brunch on the weekend. read more

This has to be the best cider bistro on this side of the continental divide! The service is always outstanding, the cider is some of the best in the U.S., and the food has never let me down! read more

I have to start out by saying that I have been to 13 Brix many times for the past couple of years. Mostly for their Sunday brunch which is amazing but their lunch menu is good too! Just a word of fair warning for anyone that likes their scrambled eggs fully cooked. You must ask for them to be "hard" scrambled. Personally I have never heard of such a thing but yes, it is now a thing, or otherwise they come out runny. Keep in mind I have ordered their scrambled eggs many times before and never had this problem. Needless to say I was surprised of the change especially when they charged me again for the eggs when they brought out scrambled eggs that were cooked through. It would have been nice if the waitress had disclosed that when you request they make your order right they charge you for it. Poor service that day for sure. Have to ask if it will be worth going back after such a negative experience K. Lee read more

Ordered the Brunch Madame and it did not have the hollandaise sauce as described in the menu. Server said they had problems with the sauce. Never offered the opportunity to order something else. Also ordered the Jamon sandwich. The bread was so stale it could not be eaten. read more

What a sweet place for a yummy lunch!! Menu is light with a European flair. We had the lunch special which was a wonderfully light tasting chicken salad on croissant and your choice of sides. We had the peach gazpacho - since its peach country here - and it was delish! Had some wine tastings which for my taste not my faves but nice pairings with the lunch and hubby really enjoyed their selection. Owner and staff are friendly and pleasure to chat with. Definitely a must try when in Palisade. read more
