Bistro Barb\u00e8s, 5021 E. 28th Ave., Denver, will have its last day of service Saturday, June 13. Chef and owner Jon Robbins said he decided to \u201cmove on to the next chapter\u201d of his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cRunning Bistro Barb\u00e8s has been one of the defining experiences of my life,\u201d Robbins said in an email. \u201cWe tried to create a restaurant that was personal, thoughtful, and independent. A place where hospitality mattered and where a small dining room could still feel special.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Mizuna chef opened the bistro in April of 2014 in a narrow restaurant space that could only seat 30 people and a couple more at the bar. But Robbins wowed critics with elegant dishes, a strong wine selection and friendly service.<\/p>\n

The restaurant shared a name with the multicultural Barb\u00e8s district in Paris, as well as its influences. Mediterranean, North African and Middle Eastern ingredients all made their way into the menu of French classics.<\/p>\n

Bistro Barb\u00e8s is currently offering a four-course tasting menu for $90 of English pea agnolotti, roasted beets, short-rib parmentier,\u00a0and a cappuccino cup de creme. The restaurant is open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday.<\/p>\n
