Le Grand 1512 Curtis Street Denver CO 80202 303-534-1155 http://www.legranddenver.com https://www.facebook.com/LeGrandDenver https://twitter.com/LeGrandDenver Cocktail Bar, Event Venue, Oyster Bar Restaurant, Cafe, Restaurant, Brunch Restaurant, French Restaurant From Denver restaurateur Robert Thompson, Le Grand  Bistro & Oyster Bar is nothing new. Robert Thompson has brought everyday, affordable French back downtown. And by cooking French with modern sensibilities, executive chef Sergio Romero ensures that Le Grand isn't stuffy or trite. On paper, the menu looks traditional-cassoulet, French onion soup, trout almondine-but on the plate Romero's dishes are light, fresh, and remarkable. You'll find this in the ratatouille tart with mandoline-thin vegetables; the steak frites starring Colorado's Best Beef; or the exquisitely seasoned salad niçoise topped with a hunk of seared tuna. Equally exciting is Le Grand itself, which has taken up residence in one of Denver's oldest (and largest) restaurant spaces. The 125-year-old dining room with original mosaic tile and a sparkling chandelier simply shines, making any meal-brunch, lunch, or dinner-feel like an occasion.
