Pierre Michel in Denver (Highlands Ranch)

If you've been looking for authentic French Croissants and pastry delights, your long wait is over. Pierre Michel is a total gift to the South Suburban restaurant scene. Nothing too fancy, just laboriously exacting craftsmanship in pastries, sandwiches, and quiche that will make you a regular after one visit. The croissants are perfect, better than anything I had in Paris. The quiches routinely disappear early. The Croque Monsieur is hearty and generously portioned. The staff are a husband / wife team originally from outside Lyon, France. They apparently worked for 6 months on perfecting the recipes for the high altitude before opening. All the food is spot on, not-so-simple pleasures that evoke the deep culinary traditions of France. Some evenings they offer savory crepes among other traditional French country preparations. You will surely delight everyone in the office with a bag of the croissants. The service is always extremely inviting, courteous, and friendly. Highly recommended.
