Machaca Style Burrito
Sara C.

This is such a neighborhood gem. Their menu is extensive and always satisfies the brunch craving. We got the burrito, omelette & pancake meal - everything was delicious. The cinnamon sugar butter that comes with the pancakes is next levelllll. The drinks are also delicious. The potatoes were the only thing I think could use improvement - they weren't crispy. Regardless, this is always a quality spot to visit.

Breakfast Burrito in a Bowl
Stormy M.

I love the feel of a neighborhood breakfast shop and this restaurant has that vibe. It is only open for breakfast and lunch. We visited on a Wednesday morning and there was plenty of seating. We reviewed the large wall-length menu board and then placed our orders at the register. The attendant was very friendly and was able to suggest a deconstructed breakfast burrito in a bowl. That was the perfect option. The restaurant was clean and welcoming, our meals were delivered to our tables in a very reasonable amount of time, and the food was well prepared and tasty. I will certainly come back and try new options, as my first meal made me want to try more.

Guiness corned beef and hash
Joann B.

The French Press is a very popular breakfast/brunch spot. I think the line almost reached the door when I arrived. You are not able to reserve/save a table when you arrive, you can only get a table once you've ordered your food and paid. There are paper menus located at the register, but the whole side wall is an enormous menu, so hopefully, you don't get overwhelmed by the amount of people and menu size. I am a sucker for corned beef hash and will always give it a try when a restaurant states their version is home-made. The French Press' version definitely tasted like it was stewed in Guinness and was very good. The cons is that I should have ordered my eggs soft or a bit runny to provide the corned beef with some moisture because the meat was dry; the other downside was that although I was offered toast and chose an English muffin, I was only given half of the muffin. Is it standard to just get one side and not both? Anyhow, minor gaffes aside, the food here is good. The restaurant is very lively and every table was occupied. It can get very loud here, so if you want something more intimate, the French Press is not for you during peak dining times.

Vegan Biscuits
Mary M.

I ordered the vegan biscuits and they were delicious. They are scratch made vegan biscuits topped with vegan country gravy, two vegan sausage patties, roasted tomatoes and collard greens. Served with perfectly cooked potatoes. If the offering is still on the menu when I go back, I will order again!

Black bean and spring mix salad.  Yum!
Bev C.

The bean and spring mix salad was so good! A generous layer of greens with feta black beans, a tasty dressing provided all I needed for a healthy lunch. I liked the unhealthy portion also in the form of a large slice of raspberry cake. Everything that is gluten free was labelled as such. A very nice touch when you can't eat gluten. This will be my go to place in Denver. Why go anywhere else?

Samantha M.

Me and my boyfriend stopped in while we were visiting Denver for a quick breakfast. There are plenty of options for everyone looking for breakfast type food. It's in a very convenient spot with street parking. The service was simply amazing. They were quick and the food was delicious and the entire restaurant inside and out is very cute. will definitely be putting it on my revisit list when I'm back in Denver.

Vegan Biscuits
Reed B.

Great coffee and breakfast joint with quick turnaround times and friendly service. I thought I'd be disappointed with only one vegan item on the menu but it was good enough I'd order it every visit. The biscuits and gravy come with home fries, sautéed tomatoes and house vegan sausage patties. The biscuits are soft and the gravy is rich and peppery. I ordered a drip coffee on the side and it was a delicious medium dark roast, and the large is like a pint glass. This is a great option for vegans eating with carnivores.

A few tables outside on a quiet street
Veronique C.

Cool and relaxed spot for breakfast and lunch. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. The vibe is contemporary industrial with exposed bricks, tones of honey and soft bluish gray. Parking is on the street but not a problem, plenty of spots available in the area. There are also a few tables outside and when we visited there was basically no traffic so it was quite pleasant. My built your own omelette was yummy with plenty of added artichoke. The side of bacon, thick and caramelized with maple syrup totally addictive! The cappuccino was also good. We'll definitely go back and try to remember to pay cash since they charge 2% if you use a credit card.

Omelette
Billie B.

This is a go to place for me! The food never disappoints and it's always quick and delicious

Vincent C.

I came to The French Press for a quick brunch. Upon entering, there was no wait or line for the front counter despite the restaurant being quite occupied. Additionally, after placing my order, my food came out within a very reasonable amount of time. As for the food, it was typical diner style food. Nothing was terrible, but nothing was outstanding either. Additionally, like diner style food, the food was pretty greasy. This disappointed me a bit, as I wasn't expecting to eat diner food.

Outside
Gabrielle B.

This is an adorable breakfast spot in Denver! There's actually plenty of parking on the street since it's in a neighborhood, which is a nice change from a lot of other places in the city. The menu is written on a huge whiteboard, which makes it a little hard to see everything (if you have trouble seeing from a far like me). Then you place your order at the counter and they serve you your order! I got the veggie Benedict and it was outstanding. Lots of fresh veggies including arugula, avocado, asparagus, and tomato on a soft English muffin. Not too much hollandaise, so if you're crazy about it feel free to request more. It also doesn't come with a side, but it was pretty filling. Overall a great experience and delicious, fresh food.

The family brunch I organized here is one of my favorite family memories. I made a reservation on…read moreOpenTable, and I ended up needing to increase the number of people to 8 a few days before the reservation. Accommodating our party was no problem. My mom, who usually scoffs at fancy restaurants and their fancy prices, absolutely loved her $10 ginger sunrise juice drink (I made her get it) and said that her sweet corn eggs benedict ($19) was one of the best things she's ever eaten. Our server Julie did an amazing job taking care of our party, some of whom arrived on time and some of whom didn't. The 20% large party gratuity was well-earned. I loved that the restaurant being connected to the hotel meant that the lobby was a beautiful space for those of us who got there early to gather and for us to all chat before we went our separate ways. Many of us were enthralled by the Moët & Chandon vending machine in the lobby, as well as the super cool "fire in a glass box" art piece. I had the $19 chicken philly skillet, which was tasty, but my family members who got the $29 steak and eggs knew what they were doing. My husband, who is incredibly picky about bacon, thought his $6 side of bacon with his $18 buttermilk pancakes was perfectly cooked and not overly seasoned. Thinking about this family meal makes my heart smile. Thanks to the Corinne staff for making it delightful.

This is a fine spot in a hotel downtown, sure, but yikes the pricing was totally out of control!!!…read more Brunch, you know simple cheap stuff like eggs and potatoes, was $130 for TWO people. I don't think I've ever spent more on brunch in my life. Yeah, we got a couple drinks, too. Thank goodness it was my partner's bday and we got the dessert for free. A fine place, but be ready to thin your wallet if you choose it! I wouldn't go again for that reason. I'd find another brunch spot where I can spend $100 or less. Which is still A TON for brunch!!! Restaurants complain so much about business, but then price it to the point where they get less business. What's gotta give? Hotels have the luxury of being more expensive since they have people staying & paying on the company dollar. But, I didn't pick the spot, and I got a bougiea$$ partner! Lol.

I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.

It was an average burrito, tasty but nothing mind blowing. My wife enjoyed her crepes but again nothing overly outstanding. Overall service was solid and the food was good enough that we would return.

Some more traditional offerings but a lot of unique drinks on their menu. I first tried Ghost Machine, imagine a spicy cocktail mixed with a refreshing watermelon to bring you that relief, excellent! Firstly my wife had Emerald Grove (Gin, Green Tea Shochu, Sweet Potato Shochu, Matcha, Coconut, Mint, Pineapple, Lemon) and liked it but was very unique as you would guess from the ingredients. She thought the mint brought a shamrock shake flavor to it. Secondly I had a bartender riff on a paper plane which was great as well.
