La Forêt

La Forêt, which opened in March 2024 inside the former home of iconic Denver spot Beatrice & Woodsley, honors the previous tenant in a way that's part homage and part fresh start — and 100 percent gorgeous. Dining here is like entering a real-life enchanted forest, complete with (yes, they’re real) aspen tree trunks. The alpine-inspired French fare is reason enough to visit, but the beverage program is a stunner, too, from pastis hour to the signature La Forêt complete with oolong mist — not surprising, since the owners are also behind two top cocktail spots, Union Lodge No. and the Tatarian.
