This restaurant is in the most beautiful building and the inside is gorgeous too. We stopped in for breakfast and really enjoyed our toast and the matcha was great too. Service was quick and attentive. I would come back to try more if I'm ever in the area.

Bison dinner dish: incredible. The chef/cooks really know what they're doing with this one. My personal preference would have been a little more salt, but it was a good highlight of bison flavor, perfectly medium rare, not too much horseradish (a little more than I like, but my partner prolly would have said not enough), and THE PARSNIP MASH WAS SO GOOD???? It was like a buttery fluffy mashed potato, but just a drizzle when I wanted SCOOPS directly into MY FACE. The only better version of this dish I've had so far is at Owamni in Minneapolis. This dish was an appropriate amount for one person. You could share it with another dish (but you won't want to share it). Butternut squash toast: A bitteen disappointed by this as a follow-up to bison steak. The roasted butternut squash puree was cold, more like pumpkin puree out of the can. Overall pretty mid and mild on flavors. Even the crumble needed more sugar, it almosted tasted like plain flour with some cinnamon. Needed more sugar, more salt, and make it warm (maybe add an egg with chili oil or something... Or just maple syrup?? Or more of a thick and sweet elderberry jam?) Matcha latte was v cute and fine, very mild again, but actually like too much milk to matcha ratio for me personally, but I also really go ham when I make them. Bacon was just okay, pretty standard. Savory beignets: Okay so the outside is like a beignet, then you bite into it and it LOOKS and FEELS almost like a falafel, but then you taste the inside and you think, spanikopita??? Anyway, I liked it. Nice crunch on the outside, soft inside. Definitely shareable, could have just eaten one. The yogurt sauce is flavorful but like highest medium point spicey for me. The cheesiness and yogurt help tame it. Trout dip and chips: yo those housemade chips are p good tho. Not TOO thick or too salty, just perfect. I don't usually just eat chips but I took em hommeeeee to Sacramento they're going in the convection oven babyyyyyy. The trout was also good, not too salty, nice with dill, not too dissimilar from smoked salmon if you've never had smoked trout. It's a little lighter, leaner, more solids/chunkier (tho I've also had whipped trout spreads). Service is very nice, friendly, attentive. Nice outdoor seating too, tho a little dusty outside (also super weird to hear recorded bird sounds in the trees, which highlights the absence of real birds... That is, if you believe birds are real...).

I'm not even exaggerating when I say Pasque has the best iced americano I've ever had. Something about the espresso hit the spot just right. This spot was tricky for me to find for some reason as a tourist, but once I found it, I was promptly seated and served. I was in a bit of a rush and they took care of me quickly. The food is freshly prepared, and like I said, don't miss out on those one of a kind espresso beans.

The interior was a nice spot to hang out and take a breather in if you're ever in the area. Service was very attentive. I believe this is their signature lunch burger, which was very disappointing. The texture was good but the taste was nothing but pure sodium. I wish there was more of dimensional taste with all the topping. It was like the cheese, caramelized onion was all grilled in the same spot. I wasnt sure if the caramelized onion supposed to taste like nothing or pure sodium juice. It came with a nice little arugula salad with champagne vinaigrette I believe. But again, that too was pure salt. Water was the best beverage in this meal.

Ambiance and decor are beautiful, service is great! Food is good, with a seafood and fish forward menu. The lavender latte was delicious, and I highly recommend the lunch trout dish with delicious leek sauce.

Apparently this whole hotel can do no wrong? Beyond the lovely stay, the restaurants are delightful. I enjoyed Pasque before checking out on a Tuesday afternoon. I was told the restaurant gets its name from the Pasque wildflower, which checks out because this place gives all of the warming, calming, nature-y vibes. Love the seating with the curved booths, the sky high ceilings, the decor, and even the plate ware. All of it is so well done. They have seperate breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus. As we were in mid-day we had the pleasure of enjoying the lunchy options. I opted for the farm salad and can I just say, this was an A+! It's not that often that I order salads when dining out but our sweet server recommended it and she was right. The dill and moon hill asiago cheese were the best of flavors. It had plenty of microgreens too which I love, and I added chicken Very refreshing. Safe to say I didn't leave a single bite behind. Also had a matcha (delish), and my friend enjoyed his chicken salad sandwich on toasted sourdough. I'd probably just come back for the vibes, but would certainly like to try other menu items too!

Pasque is a type of early spring wildflower, which fits the hotel's theme nicely. The host was very welcoming and seated us immediately. We were a party of four and had a table near the window. Based on the waiter's recommendation, we ordered two small starters, two appetizers, and two entrées to share. Dinner took about two hours, which was refreshing--most Denver restaurants now limit how long you can stay. The service was a bit disjointed. Food and drinks arrived unevenly, and there were stretches where we waited for the next dish to come out. However, this didn't bother us much; overall, it was a good experience. The savory beignets were decent, though I'd consider these more like falafel. I expected a square, light, puffy, deep-fried pastry filled with spinach, artichoke, Fontina cheese, Espelette pepper, and honey. Instead, it was just a deep-fried ball--making it my least favorite dish. After the beignets, we tried the green tomatoes and peas. This dish was perfect for spring, offering bright, fresh, and sweet flavors with a mild, slightly floral undertone. The mostarda added a sweet and spicy element to the plate. I'd never have imagined pairing hamachi with strawberries, but it worked surprisingly well with the gochujang and rhubarb. The beef tartare, with mushrooms and black garlic, was amazing. However, I found the thin slices of sourdough a bit stingy--I've had thicker crackers elsewhere. The pan-roasted salmon was cooked perfectly to a medium temperature. This dish is on my must-eat-again list, especially with asparagus, spring vegetables, and almonds. But my absolute favorite was the Rock River bison loin. It was rich and sweet, with clean flavors that paired beautifully with the chanterelle mushrooms. The blueberries added a sweet and tart component, complemented by the mild onion flavor of the leek. I'd go back!

Pasque is a new restaurant on the ground floor of the stunning Populus Hotel. It's a beautifully designed space utilizing reclaimed and recycled materials. I met a friend here from out of town and our experience was flawless! They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu has some starters, mains, sandwiches, and salads. For a new hotel restaurant, I couldn't have asked for more from my dining experience. SAVORY BEIGNET // Spinach, Artichoke, Fontina, Espelette Pepper, Honey. These weren't on my 2024 bingo card, but holy shit! The texture of these were impeccable. Ridiculously crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Definitely order these for the table! PORCHETTA SANDWICH // Griddled Sourdough, Roasted Pork, Provolone, Kale, Aioli, Green Salad. There are lots of great places to eat sandwiches in Denver, and I wouldn't have expected to find a GREAT one here. But damnit, this sandwich was executed to perfection. You won't find porchetta on too many menus, and the meat was delicious. Pair that with PERFECTLY TOASTED sourdough (from Rebel Bread) and I was in heaven. Really really glad I had the pleasure of dining here at Pasque. For a refined lunch with table service in a trendy setting, I can't think of a more ideal place to eat for a weekday lunch. I'm sure dinner service is just as special!

I came here for a Tasting Collective dinner, so it wasn't the typical experience. The restaurant is beautiful. It was a prix fixe menu and overall good. I loved the presentation of my cocktail. I did have to wait a long time for a glass of wine I ordered, but they were very busy.

Chic, Stylish, Fashionable, Swank, Flamboyant, Ostentatious. There was not a $$$$ spared on Pasque, flooring to the decore in windows; including full glass entrance, winding stairwell to sip coffee from the Barrister while waiting for your dinning seat or time off, relish kick back in more than urbanity. I met, in passing, a very Stylish gentleman, who is a realtor developer and "Part of Pasque," as he stated, he did defined the "Kick-Back Luxury! Aspen and I were escorted to our small low seated marble table, no expense was dispensed with in building and design of Pasque, including the tasty morsels of food. I had the "Savory Beignet" which are normally sweet, these were Crips (as they ought to be) on the outside, with a melting Spinach Artichoke Fontina. Soon as the Beignet touched my watering tongue, the moment was a melting Organism, including the slightly peppered honey sauce! Ingenious to perfection, H/T to the Chefs. (I am French!) My waitress was Charming with a beautiful smile which never left her face, served in appropriate timing, although they were short staffed; cannot complain! Valet parking, if one chooses, or across the street parking lot, one fee $18.00!!!! Denver required a true Fashion Statement for dinning with delicious scrumptious food (building up to NYC/Miami Stylish savour). The Building in itself is representative of what any person will find inside, from the entrance doubled full standing window auto-swing doors, through the sweeping stairwell. Expect a short wait, (have reservations !!!) your pleasurable dinning experience is worth every moment of your time. Perfect before or after a DCPA or any event. And remember, you are paying for all of the "Chi Chi" yet not over scaled! $$-$$$ per person.

We came here for dinner on a Thursday night, the place was packed. Love seeing new places take off, al though by 8:30 it was quite empty. Valet was complimentary, on a snowy night what a treat. The open space and windows give it a nice atmosphere and great light even on a dark, winter night. The bar is also a great spot, and I would definitely have dinner there. The service was good, but a bit off once the meal got going. It started out fast and then was very slow at some point. Overall, our waitress checked in, the plates were changed for each dish, wine was flowing. I think the kitchen just is figuring things out. The food: SAVORY BEIGNET were more like croquets but were good. The outside crispy, the inside tender and the sauce with kick was a nice surprise. VEGETABLE TARTLET was a disaster and we sent it back. It was served cold but it really didn't come together. The filling was so watery it just ran out when you cut into it, the raw vegetables on top didn't work. Poor concept and execution. STONINGTON MAINE LOBSTER was delicious, light and tender. Great dish and a pretty generous portion for sharing. RYE TAGLIATELLE had great flavour and could be a dinner sized portion for one. It did come out a bit luke warm, and the meat could have been better incorporated, it was too chunky for an elegant dish. ALASKAN HALIBUT fell a little flat for me. The fish was tender and moist, but somehow the dish came out bland and didn't live up to the description. While mushrooms can be a nice pairing, it didn't work. We had cocktails and wine and ended up hanging upstairs in the lounge area for a bit. Would be nice to have a bartender there or service for drinks. Great spot for date nights or small adult groups for dinner. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR DESSERT MENU, IT'S NOT ACCURATE!!!

Very inventive menu and everything we had was good,some spectacular! Started with the beignets and vegetable tart. I must admit that while they were good, we expected more from the beignets. The sauce elevated them but we didn't really taste the cheese. For middle course we had the mushroom option and it was fabulous, as was the halibut main course! Service was excellent! Decor very fun with hides hanging from ceiling over the bar.

This is the main restaurant in the very new Populus Hotel. It has barely been open for two weeks, yet our experience at dinner was seamless and fantastic. Pasque refers to a native Colorado wildflower. The space is gorgeous with various reclaimed and recycled materials, huge windows, and extremely comfortable seating with lots of large booths. The restaurant itself is not that large--you enter past a long bar with some bar seating. There's also a large, open kitchen. The staff was terrific; very friendly, quite competent, and with a good knowledge of the menu and the wine list. Both are relatively short with the intention of rotating items as the seasons change. The waiter recommended the savory beignets which were fried balls filled with spinach, artichoke, fontina cheese, and espelette pepper. They were coated with what seemed to be a honey balsamic glaze and sat in a pool of remoulade sauce. I didn't think beignet was quite the right term as these were more like arancini (fried risotto balls); however, whatever you may call them, these were phenomenal. They were perfectly fried with soft interiors and an absolutely amazing combination of flavors. My friend and I gobbled them up and were blown away. A really excellent dish. There are five golf ball-sized pieces per order and they are very rich, so I suggest sharing. My friend then had the Stonington Maine lobster which had been carved up into bite-size pieces and was served with braised celery, celeriac, apple, and smoked veloute (white sauce). The portion looked a bit small to me (although the price was very reasonable for lobster), but he said the amount was perfect and that the lobster and other ingredients were very fresh. I had the tagliatelle which came with a Colorado lamb ragu. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the ragu was very flavorful with many tender chunks of lamb. I also had a glass of the Presqu'ile Santa Barbara County pinot noir. I am not familiar with this winery, but I do like California Central Coast pinots and this one was excellent and very reasonably priced. All-in-all we had a terrific experience. Hard to believe the kitchen and staff had their act so well together after such a short run. Note the hotel is on a triangular lot surrounded by busy streets, but there is an excellent valet station with a parking lane on the 14th Street side of the building. The entrance door leads directly to the restaurant on the left and the hotel lobby on the right.
