The first thing you notice about the Royal Peacock is the smell: incense and curry, old carpets and fresh cinnamon and ancient tandoor smoke. It’s a warm, cloying and sweet smell, and a hint that the Peacock isn’t your average strip-mall Indian outpost. The very traditional kitchen offers tastes of India straight out of Goa […]
Located in the former Tom’s Tavern space, the iconic Boulder burger joint and bar that occupied the corner at 1047 Pearl Street for fifty years, Salt is chef/owner Bradford Heap’s “Johnny Local” bistro, a pasture-to-plate restaurant that utilizes the bounty from local purveyors. In his exhibition kitchen, Heap turns out flat breads, roasted vegetables and […]
When you’re talking about a true Italian deli experience, it’s only the meat that matters. At Salvaggio’s, the countermen understand this. No one’s there for conversation at this spartan, six-table Boulder storefront. The customers come for the sandwiches – in particular, a nice prosciutto on a roll or the fantastic red bells and mozz – […]
Like your best bud’s back yard, there’s something about the two-level patio at Sanitas Brewing that is instantly welcoming and relaxing. Maybe it’s the views of the Foothills (and the brewery’s namesake, Mount Sanitas), or the train tracks lined with green grass, or the cornhole and bocce ball courts, or the indoor/outdoor bar, where you […]

Colorado is lucky to have many homegrown Mexican chains — but none have been as successful as Santiago’s. And with good reason: This chain, which has twenty locations (and counting), doesn’t just offer great to-go breakfast burritos; it also serves up an absolutely addictive green chile. In mild, medium and hot, it’s tasty enough at […]
Denver and Boulder are chock-full of great Mexican food; whether you’re a fan of Den-Mex, Tex-Mex or plain old Mex-Mex, there are plenty of places to get your taco-and-smothered-burritos fix. But New Mex? There aren’t many places in town specializing in the fusion of Native American, Spanish and Mexican cuisine that’s found in New Mexico. […]
The idea that going to a restaurant means you’ll be sitting at a table in a dining room is rapidly going the way of the dodo. Right now you can eat your dinner inside a shipping container, be seated inside a concrete culvert and grab a cocktail inside a walk-in freezer – and that’s just […]

Pemba Sherpa – a native of Nepal who made his living as a mountain guide before settling in Colorado – built this restaurant around his idea for a “traveler’s lounge,” a place for climbers and adventurers to gather and plan, to reminisce, to tell true stories and to make up a few others. But the […]
After 100 years and multiple changes, the Sink remains one of Boulder’s most quirky and popular taverns, as much for the good deals on booze as for the famous Sink Burger (which first appeared on the menu in the 1950s) and “ugly crust” pizza. History is scrawled across the ceiling and walls in the form […]
Smashburger has all the affectations of a standard QSR operation: counter-ordering and tableside delivery, a fast and easily navigable menu, a simple and easily duplicatable decor. But it also has a far-from-standard burger: the namesake “smashburger,” a half-pound of ground, nicely fatty Angus beef that’s whacked onto the hot steel, producing a flood of meat […]

Snarf’s Sub Shop, the beloved sandwich spot with a hippie vibe, got its start when Jim Seidel opened his first sub shack in Boulder in 1996. Then, as now, Snarf’s knew to do a few things really right: It has a good filling-to-bread ratio, uses high-quality meats and vegetables, and relies on a broiler to […]

When Snooze first hit the Ballpark neighborhood in 2007, it revolutionized breakfast in Denver. The most important meal of the day became one of the most creative meals of the day, with flights of pancakes, re-imagined omelets and Benedicts, and a morning-themed alcoholic beverage list. Snooze nicely filled a niche that Denver hadn’t even recognized […]
