Neighborhood Classic
Tante Louise
4900 E. Colfax Ave.
303-355-4489
Ever since Tante Louise opened as a restaurant in
the 1970s, it has thrived on a simple formula: looks,
eats, smarts. You'll rarely dine more comfortably than
in its firm-seated chairs, surrounded by high, dark
wainscoting, polished plank floors and baskets of dried
flowers. The kitchen turns out terrific, French-inspired
cooking. Corky Douglass (and, every other night or so,
his father, Corky, Sr.) minister to the restaurant's
several tables with Charmin-soft voices and a truly
felt love of their craft. How they repeat their solicitousness,
night after night, is a wonder. The Tante's wine list
is weighted toward France, with a larger-than-standard
group of half bottles.
The cozy bar specializes in French spirits and
will transport you to La Belle France, after a sip or
two.
