50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Boulder

“We did the vegetarian four course menu - every dish was unique interesting and yummy. A lot of texture and flavor play - the food was fun to eat. I loved the pacing and portions. I was very full after which is always nice after a tasting menu, sometimes they leave you wanting. Only thing I would change is that the room was notably cold (so bring a jacket or wrap).
Obviously it is expensive- Id say it would be very hard to get a bill under $175 per person.“

“We only had time for drinks and a snack. The staff were more than helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back! The flavors of natural herbs coming through the desserts were superb!e“

“I decided to try Gaia for a late lunch. Service was good, but the best part was the beef and lamb gyro. It wasn't like the normal pressed lamb, it was more like what I used to expect when I lived in Greece as a teenager. I also like that they put the tzatziki sauce on the side so I can use as much or as little as I wanted. I will be back and looking forward to trying out some of the other extensive varieties of International food.“

“Excellent atmosphere and food.“

“Awesome restaurant!! Food is great ☺“

“The fish here is amazing…so fresh and of such high quality, we come quite often. We also love the agadashi tofu, which always reminds us of our time spent in Japan. The staff is wonderful and the fact that there is rarely any turnover speaks highly of the owners, Uki and Keizo, who were both born in Japan and are highly trained in their craft. We highly recommend AOI and find the prices very reasonable for the quality.“

“Awesome eats !! Grabbed a bite while hopping around thee very diverse center.“

“This restaurant has delicious food, especially the desserts, especially the mango sticky rice.“

“We had such a great evening at Leaf’s Fall Harvest Dinner! 🍂🌿 Every course was delicious, but the Summer Dream Cake was definitely the highlight. So many amazing flavors in one dessert! We also really enjoyed getting to know Lauren, who has been the chef at Leaf for a while and recently bought the restaurant! It was fun hearing about all her exciting ideas and what’s ahead. If you haven’t been to Leaf in a while, go check it out! We can’t wait to see what Lauren comes up with next! 💚“

“We had a calzone at Pizza Colore in Boulder, and it was SOOO delicious! 🤩🔥 If you're in the area, you need to try it! 🍕❤️“

“Took us ten years of living in CO to find a great steakhouse that matched our favorite steakhouse in OK. I dare say, Steakhouse 316 is even better! It is amazing EVERY time we go. Be sure to get the table side Caesar. And why is black salted butter for the bread so much yummier than all other salt??“

“I would recommend this restaurant for someone who never had Mexican food ever, its dishes are really good. I had the Queso Del Mar, great plate to have with tortilla, it’s just that the cheese was really hard to pull. Also gave the Green Chile Soup a try and it was perfect for the rainy day outside and just warmed my whole body up. The Strawberry Margarita was interesting, not my favorite mocktail but still worth a try!“

“The food is amazing and hits the spot after a morning of studying. I always feel so welcomed by the owner and staff. Such a cute breakfast spot!“

“Kind staff. Excellent food. Vegan options. Warm, friendly atmosphere.“

“I finally found a really good morning bun!! It's one of my favorite pastries and I've been searching for a good one in Boulder. Theirs is light and flaky and just the right amount of sweete.“

“Our first time dining at this place though we have wanted to go for a while after someone posted about it after they opened. Finally made it and glad we made reservations as it was packed since it was peak time Friday evening. Spoke with Koji-san, the owner, while we were waiting for our table and he also stopped by each table to check on them which we thought was great. We had the takoyaki, kaisen-mix okonomiyaki and the spicy miso ramen. All came within a reasonable amount of time and were delicious! Koji-san explained the background of offering takoyaki, which was so interesting and great for him to share. We will definitely be back to try the other menu items, esp their sushi, which looked delicious! Great to see a business busy and doing well!“

“Great service and good food!“

“So good!!! I got the spicy miso ramen and it was to die for! I will be coming back again and again and bringing friends! The prices are totally reasonable and the portions are big! The service is amazing and the atmosphere is so cozy. Great to have some honey ginger tea and chill.“

“Great food and very friendly service. On Pearl Street so a kaleidoscope of people walking by.“

“Just checked out the new Lafayette location. Food was great. Will definitely be back.“

“We went today for the first time and LOVED the meatballs, caesar salad and the lamb pepperoni pizza with a pumpkin beer taster and glass of cab!!! I will be back and soon! Oh… the dessert was so yummy and unique flavors!“

“Absolutely incredible flavors and excellent variety! I wanted more but was so full! I’m ready to come back and try other things… for dinner 🤣🤣! Had the chicken enchilada and forbidden rice with tofu! For desert… the gluten free lemon cake was Devine! HIGHLY recommend!!! ♥️“

“The Pork Belly Benny's were absolutely fire! I grew up in the south and not sure I've had a better side of grits! 11/10 will eat there again!“

“We’ve been eating here for years and love how this place helps us with our homesickness and nostalgia for Chinese cuisine. Service is fast and food is served hot. Great restaurant to bring family or friends to try authentic Chinese cuisine or to eat some American Chinese favorites. The owners are very kind as well and always make us feel very welcome and at home.“

“Awesome food, great service, relaxed atmosphere“

“Excellent prices. Some reviews mentioned that it isn't high-end, which is true I guess but I have genuinely eaten $50 sushi that isn't as good as what they give you at Bento-ria for $10. I got unagi and tamagoyaki nigiri with my poke bowl and let me tell you. Good sushi is known by the freshness of the ingredients and the quality of the sushi rice: the food here is fresh and the very first thing I noticed was how good the rice is. The place may be humble but there are masters in the kitchen“

“Found this place randomly.....looking for nonchain restaurant. Awesome service along with awesome food. The burgers are soooooo good. You will eat ALL of it for sure! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Colorado to make this a stop. You will not be disappointed.“

“The service was great and they had a great variety of beer styles. All the beers that we tried were really good. We ordered two flights and two full pours. They have a large outdoor space and are dog- and kid-friendly. The food looked and smelled good but we did not eat.“

“This is my favorite place to eat!! I am from St. Louis so any time my son comes home I make him bring me a honey pizza home. It is unbelievable!! Jamal is the goat!! He was the absolute best server on the planet. His vibe and energy is amazing!!! Thank you guys for all you do!!!!“

“I’ve been using Skratch for awhile. Switch between it and Tailwind but I prefer Skratch for my marathon training. The carb/ sodium ratio is exactly what I need for my fall race. The passion fruit guava is amazing. Wish it was not a limited edition flavor. All of the flavors are great as well. Definitely recommend Skratch“

“Love the place and great vibes - Pale ale is the best“

“This is one of our favorite restaurants in Boulder! We’ve eaten there many times, including last night, where we had a very lovely time, laughed with the staff and other customers at the sushi bar, drank great sake, I had my favorite salad in Boulder the seaweed salad called katsui (sp?). Buy the staff a round! It’s so much fun. 🤩“

“Such amazing food and very nice customer service! I went with a couple of friends and the Mater paneer was divine. Garlic Naan is definitely a must here as well. Very fast service as well.“

“Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. It’s definitely not like other expensive restaurants and you only get a small amount of food. I am definitely going back.🥰“

“My wife and I took a trip to Georgia for a week three years ago stumbled across Savannah B Company, honey on a food tour we have been hooked ever since! Once you buy it, you’ll buy it again and again it’s amazing! Michael and Justine Bryant“

“For experiencing a taste of authentic Mexican food, don't miss Mojo taqueria in Boulder or Lyons. The food is delicious, the service is wonderful and the ambience is so cozy! Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience with our family!“

“Amazing Coffee. Amazing Food

During our 3 day stay in Boulder we tried out 5 highly rated coffee shops. Boulder has many exceptional coffees shops but this one edged out all the rest, in our opinion. Both the coffee and the food was exceptional and the staff was friendly and helpful“

“The Italian pasta menu was out of this world and hope it returns. The lasagne with wagyu beef was incredible - a perfect balance of delicious beef, fresh pasta and cheese. My personal fave was the squid ink spaghetti frutti di mare - the fresh tomato sauce combined beautifully with the seafood, and the saffron breadcrumbs made it all truly unique and unforgettable. The tiramisu was delicate, and the ricotta cheesecake with orange marmalade felt fresh and citrusy.“

“Отличное уютное место со свежими устрицами с обоих побережий“

“My friend and I went here for Valentine's Day. We hadn't made plans because we weren't celebrating the holiday, so we had no reservations. The place was packed. The hosts were busy coordinating reservations that went as late as past 11 pm, as they were open until midnight. They were kind in their greeting and offered us space at the bar, if we could find it. We couldn't. As the wait time was over an hour and a half, we left to go somewhere else but decided to return a little later to check back at the bar. We found some seats that had just been cleared, so we saddled up for a chill time with chopsticks and great ambiance. We were greeted by the friendliest, most energetic bartender I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with while dining out, much less when a place is that busy. She had a smile for miles as she walked us through bar suggestions featuring her alcohol favorites. The reason we rallied to try again at Hapa was that my friend has a serious gluten issue with his severe celiac disease and has never had a problem with their dedicated menu. The gluten-free menu is extensive for such a specialized diet, automatically paired with their gluten-free soy sauce. Since we were sharing our samplings of sushi, sashime, salad, and sake, I went ahead and ordered from that menu as well. I didn't taste any difference in my experience. Our servings were well-timed with salad, main dishes, accompanying sake and wine... and, again, our awesome bartender sharing company with us, a truly gifted gal of service. If I tried to recommend this place more, I'd sound silly. That said, thank you for one of the best Valentine's Day, un-Valentines evenings I've ever had! We left happy with our choice for the night and full in our bellies!“

“This place is even better than it used to be. After being gone for years we were so happy they are still serving incredible and affordable food. The owners are always welcoming and put a little extra love into our food when we dine in. So good“

“Not your typical Mexican but way better! Highly recommend because of the food and great service!“

“I always ordered the fresh fruit crepes!! So amazing!!!“

“Chicken and Beer were on point“
