Casa Alvarez


Regional Mexican food
3161 Walnut Street
Boulder, CO 80301
United States
+1 303 546 0630
Put on the sombrero and head into Casa Alvarez for a taste of Old World Mexico. Owners Ernesto Alverez and Betty Cormane create traditional favorites in an upscale (but bona fide) south-of-the-border atmosphere. If you feel like a change from the usual Mexican fare, order the house specialty, Mojara Frita ($8.99). The dish is a whole fried freshwater tilapia with a side of beans. Numerous shrimp selections, vegetarian dishes and old spins on standard Mexican items complete the menu. The bar offers over 30 different types of tequila.

Dot's Diner


Nothing but breakfast
2716 28th Street
Boulder, CO 80301
United States
+1 303 449 1323
This small nook of a restaurant, which serves nothing but breakfast, is a throwback to the Eisenhower administration in both look and price. All that is missing is the Everly Brothers on the radio. Booths and classic chrome counter stools give the room its time machine look. The all-breakfast menu offers the usual morning staples of pancakes, eggs, French toast, hash browns and biscuits all at great prices. Large cheese omelets go for $5.75. Keeping with the mood of Boulder it serves organic coffee.

This buffet-style restaurant lives up to its name offering crisp, fresh salads with dozens of healthy toppings. For a heartier meal, try the pastas, soups and decadent bakery items. The informal and airy dining room is perfect for a relaxed business lunch or dinner. The challenge of this all-you-can-eat spread is trying not to spoon up a meal big enough for three, especially when exploring the dessert section.

Islands is a chain of restaurants founded in 1982. Its main motto is to serve fresh food in a fun and friendly atmosphere. The idea of this venture belonged to Entrepreneur Tony DeGrazier. He just wanted it to be a unique place highlighted with a tropical theme. The menu is simple including gourmet hamburgers and specialty drinks. This place has a built a loyal following over the years and the reason is the constant revamping of the menu. Newest additions include few more burgers but the regular fries, salads and tacos still retain their old charm.

Laudisio


More Italian than Italy
2785 Iris Avenue
Boulder, CO 80304
United States
+1 303 442 1300
http://www.laudisio.com
Just the mere fact that this restaurant is not a chain is reason alone to try its menu. Everything about this family owned, authentic Italian bistro, from the service to the food, exudes style and grace. The entrees, all of which emphasize natural ingredients, feature true Italian dishes like Beffsteak Fiorentina and Risotto di Mare. Nightly specials change daily. A true experience is tasting some of the estate-bottled olive oils, which are available for purchase.

Lee Yuan Chinese Cuisine


Small, colorful Chinese restaurant
4800 Baseline Road
Boulder, CO 80303
United States
+1 303 494 4210
Boulder restaurateurs have a knack for taking generic strip mall spaces and transforming them into charming eateries. This restaurant is a prime example. The low-lit dining room is quiet and this is a great place to get away from the crowds. The menu features traditional Szechuan and Mandarin gourmet choices. Try some classic favorites such as Sesame Chicken, Orange Beef, or Sweet and Sour Fish.

Limbo Restaurant and Lounge


Hip dining spot
2719 Iris Avenue
Boulder, CO 80304
United States
+1 303 544 1464
Some contemporary restaurants try so hard to look and feel hip that they end up as dining parodies of their owner's original vision. Limbo, however, with its sleek look and ambitious menu makes hip seem effortless. The menu offers some nice appetizer twists such as the Baked Triple French Brie and Ahi Tuna Crab Cakes. The dinner entrees are just as interesting and feature items like the New Zealand Lamb Tenderloin and Macadamia Crusted Mahi Mahi. Lunch features organic salads and sandwiches.

The dark wooden tables exude a casual feel, making it perfect for a social lunch or after-work chatter. Mexican dishes, burgers, salads and sandwiches dominate the menu. There is also a spattering of specialty items such as the Beef Brisket. Guinness is on tap.

Ras Kassa's


Authentic Ethiopian fare
2111 30th Street
Boulder, CO 80302
United States
+1 303 447 2919
http://www.raskassas.com
As the lone Ethiopian inspired restaurant in the Boulder area, it does everything right in introducing new diners to the taste-fun of African cuisine. The interior avoids theme-overkill and instead has a sleek look highlighted by traditional basket tables. Or opt for the tree-surrounded patio that borders Boulder Creek. Spicy Chicken Stew and Ethiopian Steak Tartare are just two of the many meat offerings, while Butternut Squash Stew highlights the vegetarian options. The wine list is small, but geographically diverse.

Boulder, CO 80303
United States
+1 303 554 0193
Boulder is bagel crazy, meaning someone prepares the fresh baked delights on just about every corner. This popular shop occupies a spot in the Meadows Shopping Center. It may be a simple looking strip mall location, but heavenly smells will lure you in for a cup of java and a tasty bagel. In addition to a dozen different bagel flavors the store serves muffins and sandwiches. Complement your bagel with a gourmet coffee, espresso, a fruit smoothie or a juice drink. Seating is limited.
