Le Colonial Denver is bringing the flavors of 1920s Saigon (today, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) to Denver’s Cherry Creek neighborhood. Opened in November, the 6,000-square-foot Vietnamese restaurant’s decor melds rich velvet banquettes, brass light fixtures, and silk lampshades with tall tropical plants and colorful floral arrangements. Among its distinct venue options are an outdoor patio that holds 40 and a private dining room that accommodates 12 guests.
Le Colonial is helmed by restaurateurs Joe King and Rick Wahlstedt and has six other locations across the U.S. However, there is ample regional flair built into the Cherry Creek menu with foods from Colorado vendors like Rebel Farm, Colorado Sun Tofu, Boulder Farms, Petrocco Farms, Fiber of Life, and Rocky Mountain Fresh. Wahlstedt also brought French-inspired bistro Le Bilboquet Denver to the Cherry Creek neighborhood in 2019.
