"A restaurant opened by chef Ludo Lefebvre in Denver in 2022, serving as inspiration for Rankin's future endeavors." - Mona Holmes
"Calling all Europhiles: Ludo Lefebvre’s chic downtown outpost is hosting a four-course soiree ($110 per person) with plenty of French flair: Following a housemade baguette with foie butter and pineapple-quince spread, options include carrot bisque with king crab and brown butter; pan-roasted sea bass in chestnut nage with scallops and roasted cauliflower; short rib in chanterelle jus with truffled potato puree; and white chocolate sponge cake with Champagne mousse and lemon curd." - Ruth Tobias
"Let Ludo Lefebvre do the cooking on Christmas Eve: From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the chef’s signature restaurant in the Thompson hotel downtown is hosting Réveillon, a four-course feast for $110 per person that includes a choice of endive salad with walnut-anchovy pesto, formaggio di fossa, and Sherry vinaigrette or salade Niçoise; lobster bisque or French onion soup with foie gras; herb-roasted New York strip with Bordelaise sauce and pommes paillasson or crab-stuffed sole with beurre noisette and artichoke barigoule; and chocolate torte or Key lime pie. Wine pairings are optional for a supplement, while kiddos under 12 can dine a la carte (minus the wine). Bonus points go to Chez Maggy for being open for breakfast and brunch on Christmas Day as well, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m." - Eater Staff
"I noted that Lefebvre opened Chez Maggy in Denver." - Matthew Kang
"Brunch isn’t just for weekends anymore: Ludo Lefebvre’s chic French retreat in the Thompson Hotel, for one, serves it daily while making Sunday service extra-special by bringing in a DJ from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Another nice touch is the option to add a dollop of caviar to anything from the Denver omelet to the croque madame, or even the avocado toast (why not?)." - Lucy Beaugard, Eater Staff, Ruth Tobias
