Rendezvous Cafe

The food was really good! We were kind of surprised since most museum food is horrible and overpriced. But we enjoyed it, and prices really weren’t that bad. I think the staff needs a little more training on how to handle busy days, some of our food came out and some didn’t, so it was a little awkward. We also had to ask for silverware and hunt for our own napkins. But I think its more because they are new, not lazy. I’ll be back next time we come down here!

Rendezvous Café was really yummy! I work in the neighborhood and it is always hard to find decent lunch places!
This was my second visit, the first time I had the veggie burger and it was really really good! This time I did the ½ salad ½ sandwich combo! I had a Greek salad and the chicken Ceasar wrap! The salad was fresh and super tasty! But the wrap, omg the garlic chips put that puppy over the top! Soooo yummy! It was fresh and oh so good!!!
Give this place a try, order at the counter and they bring to your table! Fast casual style! They always have fresh soups and specials! I eyed everything coming off the line and it all looked great! They take care with presentation!
I will definitely be back soon! Glad to have a great staple in the hood!

The food is very good, but it is also pricey.
I would totally recommend this it is so nice just to Pop over and then return to your day at the museum

This is a great downtown lunch spot, especially given that it’s right next door to my office! The food is always good and it is freshly prepared but also delivered fast — important for when you have a limited lunch break. The veggie sandwich is my favorite, filled with some hearty veggies and hummus it’s delicious! Depending on the soup option I’ll often go with half a sandwich and a cup of soup. It’s always enough to keep me stuffed until dinnertime! Plus it’s under $ 10, which is a bargain in most downtown spots.

My husband and I went to this downtown café for the first time while visiting the history museum. I had a soup/​½ sandwich combo that was delicious. Their «southwestern tomato» soup is not like anything I have had before; hearty, thick and pureed with just a bit of spice. My husband had a wonderful healthy salad. Each order was just under $ 10. I certainly recommend this place.

They have a nice small menu with sandwiches, salads, soups & a few items from the grill. For $ 8 you can do a ½ soup or salad with ½ sandwich.

Ranger IPA on tap! But the food on our recent visit, after touring the Colorado History Center, was really disappointing. We wandered in as tourists, thinking it would be a convenient. I ordered the «grilled veggie flatbread» which turned out to be essentially a slice of pita bread, not warmed yet alone grilled, yet alone a flatbread, with some goat cheese spread on top with the greens — a green salad basically — on top of the cheese. Now I know that Colorado pizza is not really pizza as we know if on the east coast, but at least this is made clear in how it’s described in restaurants. But the concept is much the same. But if this is a Colorado version of flatbread, I must protest that you’d better warn people about it not involving an actual flatbread! My wife had a salad with chicken, and found it really disagreed with her stomach for the rest of the day. Sorry, stick to the beer — for a food order, there must be something better in the neighborhood.

Had a lunch meeting at Rendezvous today and was pleasantly surprised. Great food, great service, and a great price. Being so close to my office this will definitely be added to my regular lunch spots.

We came here after checking out the museum — we were able to score a table for the 8 of us just after 1 p.m. — we were a bit confused at first but then figured out that we needed to order up at the counter and they then bring the food to us. I went for the braised pork belly plate which came with sea salt roasted potatoes but not the baby green beans as promised on the menu– sad face. The pork combined with the potatoes made the dish just too salty. My mother-​in-​law really enjoyed her pork belly reuben — Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and dressing. My sister got the gluten free pizza — one of the few GF choices– and she really enjoyed it — think personal sized pizza served on a mini pizza board. The rest of the gang got burgers and said they were pretty good.
There are recycle bins but it is not clearly marked what should go in them so it would be helpful to have that as I saw folks throwing out regular trash in them. I would also be curious to see what they serve in the morning as they open at 7.

Around my office, we’re at something of a loss in terms of places that we can get do, eat at, and walk back from over our lunch break. We decided we were tired of Mexican and Greek, so we headed over to the Colorado History Museum to give their café a shot.
Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by one of the many helpful employees… and really, every employee we encountered had a great attitude! Bonus points! The selection for lunch is also great. They’ve got your standard sandwiches and salads, along with a couple plated entrees, hot dogs, pizzas, and even a few items on the kid menu. I wasn’t wild over my bean burger, but the chips were awesome.
So, what would I get if (when) I return? Probably that veggie pita or sandwich, whichever it was. Two friends at the table got it, and they loved it — plus, it was beautiful, brimming over with some of the freshest veggies I’ve seen in a while.
Seating was plentiful, and orders come out quickly. I’m looking forward to going back!

Come for a visit to the best interactive museum in Denver, but be sure to sample one of the delicious treats at the Rendezvous Café! Sandwiches average around 7 bucks and are creative combos for the discerning diner. Flatbread pizzas and burgers were available as well. Try the sweet potato fries of the truffle fries too! This gem is kid friendly, trendy upscale ambiance, great food selection, and all for a budget price! Busy place though, so consider going just outside of the typical «lunch hour».

This beautifully decorated, modern café is tucked away in the History Museum. My coworkers and I came during a senior citizen event so the joint was filled with lovely older folk. As this café is a part of the museum, it might be more crowded on certain days depending on whether or not the museum has an event going on.
I ordered the duck wrap and it was fairly delicious! The speed of service was impressive and cost of food is extremely reasonable for the portions received. Unfortunately, I got sick quickly after my duck wrap so I’m conflicted on what to recommend to you. My coworkers ordered a variety of different sandwiches and wraps and felt fine. I would say you couldn’t go wrong with any plate here.
The outdoor patio overlooks the street and museum entrance. The view is wonderful, the café is clean, and the food is legit. Rendezvous was definitely worth the visit.
