Coohills gets closer to its French roots with special dinners this month

March 3, 2014

Beginning today, Coohills, the French-inspired eatery at 1400 Wewatta, will be doing a monthly prix fixe menu called “Taste of France” that will focus on a new region every month.

Each week will be a different three-course menu for $35 per person, not including tax and tip.  For March, the focus is on Lyon.

Coohills menu may be French-influenced, but it’s Colorado grown. The restaurant, co-owned by spouses Tom and Diane Coohill, partners with local and regional farmers for fresh produce, fish, poultry and meats.  All of the breads and desserts are made in-house from scratch.
