The Denver Botanic Gardens is all abuzz with the news that The Hive Garden Bistro, an alfresco dining experience alongside the Monet Pool, has opened in time for the spectacular Chihully glass art exhibit, which is on display through Nov. 30.
The new restaurant is in the same location as the previous Monet Café but features a larger deck and an expanded menu, that serves includes snacks, lunch and dinner. Catering by Design operates The Hive.
Hive features a large menu of made-to-order sandwiches, burgers, soups and salads. Gourmet wood-fired pizzas will be introduced soon. A children’s menu is available. Soft-serve ice cream and rotating agua fresca flavors such as
strawberry mint, cucumber basil and lime tarragon are also offered.
Produce from the adjacent Le Potager Garden and the Chatfield CSA are incorporated into the menu when possible, creating a sustainable, farm-to-table dining experience. Many other ingredients including meat and produce are locally sourced.
