👩‍🍳 Don't Miss This Food Network Winner's Black Forest Bistro

🏆 Award-Winning Flavors, Intimate Atmosphere 🥰

At Black Forest Bistro, owner Chef Deanna Johnson's passion for food isn't just a career choice—it's a lifelong love affair. As a child, Deanna spent countless hours in her father's French bistros, peeling vegetables and bussing tables. These early years planted the seeds of her culinary passion, even as her path initially led her into the corporate world.

Years later, after a successful marketing career, Deanna found herself drawn back to her culinary roots and to the charm of Colorado Springs. Captivated by the Black Forest area, after an unforeseen layoff, she knew she had found the perfect time and place to bring her culinary dreams back to life.

This local celebrity, who won Food Network's Food Truck Fan Fight, has created a dining atmosphere that feels like being welcomed into a friend's home. As you scan the ever-changing menu, you'll notice dishes showcasing the freshest seasonal ingredients. Chef Deanna personally shops for and hand-picks every component, from locally sourced meats and vegetables to seafood flown in specially for the week's creations.

The star attraction is the Cheese Wheel Experience. Chef Deanna's home-made pasta is brought tableside to a massive wheel of imported Parmesan. Specially trained chef Lilly combines the pasta with a warm cream blend inside the wheel, creating a rich, velvety sauce that coats each strand perfectly. The irresistible aroma fills the air as you savor this unique dish. For those looking to enhance their meal, the day's special protein or vegetable options are available as add-ons.

Cheese Wheel Experience

From award-winning bartender Flip's hand-crafted cocktails to the attentive service, every detail is designed to make your visit unforgettable.

So, whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving an extraordinary dinner, Black Forest Bistro promises a culinary adventure that will leave you planning your next visit before you've even finished dessert.
