This is a place for special occasions. In our case it was our 59th wedding anniversary. It's an expensive meal, no doubt about it. But it's worth it - for that special occasion. Each course was excellent, the service was great, it was quiet enough that we could have a conversation. The space is nothing special, but it was clean. Nice table linens and eating utensils. I rated it down for value because it's too expensive to go to frequently. We'll go back, but only when the occasion is really special.

This restaurant is such a gem. What a dining experience! You won’t find food like this anywhere else in Denver. Choose the wine pairings to complete the experience.

This is almost an experimental restaurant. There was a chef who was the waiter, greeter, preparer etc. The food, service, and ambiance were spectacular. It was tasting menu, no choices, i.e., varied menu BUT everything was amazing. The chef trained in a Paris Michelin 3 star and the food was that good. Wine pairings were expert! We were 1 of 3 couples, there are few tables, maybe 12, so the dining experience is always intimate. This isn't for everyone, but what a great dining experience.

The food was excellent and they were able to accommodate some allergies around the set menu because I called ahead. Over great experience.

Bistro Barbés was the ideal place for a date night, special occasion, or simply just a place to treat yourself. The food was delicious, the wine was delectable and the chef was a delight! Consider yourself blessed if you get a chance to order the duck leg confit. Will be recommending this to all our friends!

Bistro Barbes delights with distinctive flavor profiles that are perfectly balanced through the meal. The space has a calm and relative quiet that fosters conversation and conviviality. The remarkable service results in pacing that is perfect to fully enjoy the 4-course tasting menu and wine pairings. This is a very special experience to be treasured.
