Spent 4 days last week in Boulder and had great meals at the Sunflower(organic foods and vegetarian .I had a great buffalo steak),The Tea House(various asian countries meals), and the Mongolian B/Q.(make your own stir fry)..Posted this because i have not seen many messages about Boulder restaurants lately...

Boulder has a number of great restaurants. Along with the ones BARRY mentioned is Frasca which gets very high marks, Manteo's is also a favorite.

I have just learned on an AOL board that you can also eat at the Chataqua resort.
Jax seafood is good.

Did you mean Mateo?

Yes, Mateo. Sorry about the misspell.

The restaurant at Chautauqua Park is very nice, especially if you sit on the veranda with a view of the Flatirons. Great good and service there. It opens at 5:00 or 5:30, so get there early if you want to sit outside.

We ate at The Kitchen this past weekend. It's on Pearl Street, between 9th and 10th, I think. It's small, mostly organic, elegant menu and service. Pricey but worth it. It's even open for breakfast and lunch, 24/7.

Also, The Mediterranean, on Walnut at 10th or so is also very good for lunch especially.

There are many, many good restaurants in Boulder that are unique, not chains-- which is the best part.

Our current favorite is L 'Atelier. It is located on Pearl around 18th. Incredible food and service at surprisingly reasonable prices. Some great wines that won't break the bank either. 14th Street Bar & Grill, The Mediterraean, and Zolo Grill are all very good too. Personally I find Sunflower and Mateo overpriced and overrated. Haven't tried Frasca yet but it is supposed to be unbelievable.

Some good reminders of the Boulder restaurant scene. We are also big fans of John's for interesting food, good service (nicely paced), and a wonderfully pleasant atmosphere.
