Denver’s dining scene will welcome a new neighborhood restaurant on May 7 with the opening of Madeline, the first brick-and-mortar restaurant from Chef Quincy Cherrett. Named after Chef Quincy’s newborn niece, the project reflects a deeply personal, family-driven approach that informs the entire concept. Located at 1313 E. 6th Ave., the future home of Madeline sits in the former Fruition space. Madeline will reimagine one of the city’s most storied restaurants through a vision centered on bringing fine dining technique into a setting that feels easy and comfortable, and where familiar flavors are reimagined with subtle, unexpected twists.
Tucked into a cottage-like storefront along 6th Avenue, Madeline will be shaped entirely by Chef Quincy’s vision. Raised in a family rooted in the hotel industry, Cherrett developed an early appreciation for exceptional service and fine dining. With his sister leading project management and marketing efforts, and their father contributing his experience as a longtime hotelier, the project is family-owned and operated at its core. In the months leading up to opening, they have worked together to refine an overall experience that reflects Chef Quincy’s perspective, personality and passion, creating a place where the food carries the precision of refined cooking, but the experience feels relaxed and easy to settle into.
“Madeline is really a culmination of everything that’s shaped me,” Cherrett said. “It comes from a deep love and respect for food, family and hospitality. This restaurant is my way of bringing it all together into something that feels uniquely my own. We want to create an atmosphere and menu that feel both elevated and entirely unpretentious. Just as important, we’re building a space where both the kitchen and front-of-house teams can grow, feel supported and take ownership in what we’re creating.”…
