Editorial Review for Rustique Bistro – by Elisa Kronish
In Short
Diners who can't shell out the big bucks at the chef's chichi restaurant Renaissance choose this bistro, which has about 70 seats in the main dining room and 20 more at the bar. Warm lighting and simple wood decor create a cozy dining experience, marred only by snooty servers. The bistro makes hearty traditional French food; house specials include steak frites, duck cassoulet, braised short ribs and exotic "weird foods," such as sweetbreads.

Very cool place and some of the best comfort food I have ever had. It was also one of the most comfortable dinign room in Aspen not over done. I will be back
Pros: The Food was great
Cons: Make a reservation

I had never heard of a "Bar Menu" that had more than calamari or nachos before until Aspen. Most restaurants have a Bar Menu that consists of soup, salads, fish, steak all for under $15-20. Our group of two couples had: frog legs, salmon, steak and beef risotto. The steak was the best she had ever had and my risotta was quite yummy. Paired with a glass or wine per couple, a soup shared, dessert and tax our bill only came to $80/couple! Great deal in Aspen! The only downside is that it is first come first serve, but with 5 tables of 4 and 10 or so seats at the bar, the wait isn't too long.
Pros: Great value for Aspen
Cons: Might have to wait for a table since you can't make a reservation at the bar.
