Boulder is a great place to dine out and eat well! You can dine at one of our 300+ restaurants or select fresh, locally made natural foods to cook a delicious meal at home. Either way you support Boulder, its eateries, and grocery stores. From the Dushanbe Teahouse, Frasca, Chautauqua Dining Hall, Salt, to Boulder Ice Cream there is no question why our town is frequently headlined in national magazines and newspapers. You can also take part in Boulder’s Local Table Tours which brings small groups on a “culinary walk” to a handful of locally owned and operated restaurants. Oh, and before you dine out, be sure to check out the Boulder Convention and Visitors Bureau incredible brochure, Boulder Sliced & Diced, a collection of chefs who discuss what they like to do best in Boulder!
