Chef and Owner Noah Stephens opened Vert Kitchen in February 2009.
From an early age he had always loved good food and cooking. After graduating from the University of Denver in 2005, he worked as a private chef for a local family and with CorePower Yoga’s first nutrition program. It is here that he learned the importance of eating healthy, and using organic and natural foods. The following year he moved to Paris, France to attend L'École supérieure de cuisine française, It’s here where he learned about french food, wine, and culture by eating in the best kitchens in Paris. At the end of his school year abroad he spent the Fall studying under Daniel Rose of Spring in Paris, a small restaurant where the menu changes daily and takes advantage of seasonal ingredients, and the fresh products of Parisian local markets.
After europe he returned to his home state of Minnesota and worked in several Minneapolis restaurants, before returning to Denver where he purchased a small building in West Wash Park on South Pearl Street. One year later he opened Vert Kitchen. This lunch only restaurant combines recipes from his european travels, love for good food, and french skills with back-to-basics techniques and the best ingredients he can find to serve to neighbors and gourmands alike.
Bon appétit!
