What People Are Saying About Le Central Affordable French

In Short – The building's old structure feels European and features a lounge area for conversation and a covered patio for alfresco dining. The daily-changing menu features pork, fish, chicken and beef in sauces such as beurre blanc, jus, demi-glace and coulis. If it isn't bathed in flavor, it's wrapped in pastry, served in Brie or scrambled into an omelette. Mussels and clams are a specialty, served in several variations. Desserts include chocolate mousse, creme brulee and sorbet.

Tre Terrible!
by NancyArko at Citysearch
I keep trying and each time my experience is worse than the last. We had the Julie Child special. The asparagus appetizer was off tasting with bits of the stem, probably the dregs of another asparagus dish served 2+ weeks ago. Learn how to cook!
The post entree salad was a big dish of only lettuce with a mustard dressing. Boring and not worth eating!
The decor is cute but hasn't been updated for years and the patio chairs are downright uncomfortable.
I resolve to never go back.
Also I parked in the lot out back, stuffed in my $5 payment and returned to my car 2 hours later with a ticket insisting on a $40 fine. DO NOT PARK THERE.
ITS A SCAM!
- Pros: nice staff
- Cons: Food, parking, food!

You call this the best French in town?
by jdoowap at Citysearch
Words cannot describe my disappointment, where have all the decent French trained chef's gone in Denver? Well, I can tell you they are not working here! I felt like it was 1982, the food reminded me of Regan. At first I was going to eat at that Fernch Bistro on 17th and Clarkson, but to my dismay it closed, so where else can I get a French food? Le Central. Not going make that mistake again.
- Pros: Wine
- Cons: Food and atmosphere.

Excellent!!!

I "re-tried" this restaurant during 5280 week. Hadn't eaten at it in almost 25 yrs as I do not work downtown any longer. After the absolutely creative, tasty and well-priced meal I had during 5280, it most certainly will not be 25 yrs before I eat there again. It is now back on my favorite restaurant list and will eat there often. The quality of the food was outstanding, service was excellent, very authentic French food. I was just recently driving all over France eating in small family restaurants and the quality of Le Central rivaled the best of them.
- Pros: Creative Dishes, Great Quality, Great Value Price
- Cons: Parking
