Bistro Vendôme

When you discover Vendôme, tucked behind the storefronts of historic Larimer Sq, it feels like your own little secret. Brunch is more casual than dinner, but both are done with scrupulous French technique: mussels in white wine and herb-roasted chicken are well-executed standards, while things get more adventurous with the grilled brioche with blueberry lavender compote and honey Boursin cheese.
