What People Are Saying About Z Cuisine

In Short – Warm yellow walls and a chalkboard announcing the menu du jour greet diners at the entrance. Pairs of 30-somethings chat at tables filled with Chef Patrick DuPays' savory creations. His evolving menu features items such as the prosciutto-wrapped wild shrimp in a tartare-mayonnaise mixture and the tartine de chevre chaud, made of warm goat cheese on toast over fresh pesto and provencal tomatoes. And since it's also a creperie, don't forget to try the crepes.

Unbelievable...
by nels2000 at Citysearch
We arrived last night at 6:30 pm and were told it would be a hour wait. We were taken to A Cote (next to) and ordered wine. At 8:00 pm we were told it would be another 15 minutes. We ordered an appetizer. At 9:00 pm we were told we were next, after two more tables left. Z Cuisine holds perhaps 12 tables. At 9:00 pm (When we finally left and went to a wonderful late night meal at Highlands Gardens) five items were crossed off of the chalkboard menu, supposedly only three parties were seated ahead of us and at least fifty people had crowded into A Cote. We were obviously forgotten, or displaced, while waiting and Z Cuisine offered no comps for our discomfort. Lastly, the dishonesty and worthless apologies of the slick wait staff was indeed sickening. I read this week that Z Cuisine closed down an additional day during the week because of their recent popularity. I suggest they close down completely and re-evaluate their mission statement and customer service policies. Unbelievable.
- Pros: French wine
- Cons: Everything else

Wonderfully Authentic, but Expensive
by den123 at Citysearch
I agree that this place is one of the top 5 restaurants in Denver, if not the best French in town. But I haven't been to French 250 yet - will write a review when we get there. My husband and I have been to Z Cuisine 4 times in the last year, and would go more often if it wasn't so expensive. But every time we go, we want to throw financial caution to the wind b/c the food is so good. The menu is very limited, but the dishes coming out of the kitchen are authentic - the best charcuterie plate I've had, just as good as France. The cassoulet is sublime as well, done correctly. We always arrive just as it opens, so we don't have to wait - good thing, b/c it's always crowded by 6p. We've learned to ask for what items they are running low on at the beginning of the meal - we would've missed the amazing chocolate croissant bread pudding if we hadn't! The only thing that irritates us is the fact that there are some dishes in size and creation that would usually be considered appetizers (cheese plate, salads), but the "app" prices cost the same as full entrees! That's why we don't do full 3-course meals here. We usually do a bottle of wine, two "apps", one entree, one dessert & coffee, and it still usually costs around $150 incl tip. Still, it's worth it!!
- Pros: Authenticity, cozy ambience
- Cons: Limited opening days, menu, crowded

Food good, but VERY LIMITED & EXPENSIVE
by bgishwiller at Citysearch
went there with a group of 4. Had to wait over an hour at the wine bar next door at 8pm! We spent $60 for 2 beers 2 glasses of wine and a fondu appetizer. Then for dinner we sat down and they were out of 3 of the 6 main courses. portions were small and service was ok. After a meal of one appetizer for the table, entrees and 2 "double portion" salads and 2 desserts we have a bill of $150 before tip. Very expensive.
- Pros: good food
- Cons: very expensive & small place
