About us

Some traditions are simply too good to change. For more than 16 years, our family-owned French bistro in Denver has brought a taste of the countryside to Cherry Creek, earning the affection of locals through heartfelt hospitality and an enduring love of good food.  

At La Merise, we believe the best meals don't need to be complicated. Think tender Beef Bourguignon, classic Steak Frites, and thoughtfully prepared daily specials, each reflecting the care behind our cooking. Our extensive wine collection, authentic French cuisine and carefully chosen pairings complement the experience, with tempting desserts to round things off. Settle into our cozy, candlelit surroundings, raise a glass, and discover why this little corner of the neighborhood keeps drawing people back.

Where Every Visit Has Its Own Occasion

La Merise offers a cozy, intimate and romantic atmosphere where guests can relax and enjoy an unhurried meal. During Denver's warmer months, our spacious patio is one of our favorite places to welcome guests for lunch, dinner or a glass of wine.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary or another special occasion-or simply looking for a quiet dinner for two-La Merise is a place to gather, celebrate and enjoy good food and wine.

On Saturdays and Sundays, join us for weekend brunch featuring French-inspired favorites and bottomless mimosas.

After 16 years, our philosophy remains simple: warm hospitality, thoughtfully prepared food, good wine and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere.
