The story
Brasserie Ten Ten sits at 1011 Walnut Street in the heart of Boulder, Colorado, bringing the warmth and rhythm of a classic French brasserie to the Front Range. The address itself is the name — a quiet nod to the straightforward, unfussy spirit that defines the place.
In 2023, Wine Spectator recognized Brasserie Ten Ten with its Award of Excellence, a distinction that reflects a wine list curated with genuine care. For a French restaurant, the pairing of food and wine is not an afterthought — it is the thread that holds the experience together — and that recognition signals a list worth exploring, whether you arrive for lunch or linger through dinner.
Boulder is not an obvious home for French cuisine, which makes Brasserie Ten Ten's presence all the more welcome. The brasserie format — convivial, unhurried, built around honest cooking and a well-stocked bar — translates naturally to a city that values both craft and community. Lunch and dinner service means the kitchen stays open to the full range of the day, from a midday break to an evening out.
