Old School Boulder

Some places we've loved ever since moving here in 2000, and enjoyed by those before us.
Excellent Nepalese, run by Pemba Sherpa, experienced mountaineer, now an entrepreneur who also runs “Sherpa Chai” which you can find at grocery stores.

This place is magical, and the drive up and down is quite insane to any newcomers. You won’t regret the visit for dinner.

Updated and tasty, makes the “old school” list as the original bar merits it, and it used to be the last biz on that side of the street, with unbeatable rooftop views before the St Julien hotel went up.

I could have marked this as “sightseeing”, but we sometimes find it’s worth the beautiful drive to have their top notch pizza. The sourdough for each pie is on a 3 day cycle so they aren’t fooling around. It made our daughter a pizza snob.

While not along the Pearl St Mall where most popular places are, this is some of the best sushi in Boulder. Run by a Japanese couple who’ve made their mark.

For great Taiwanese fast and casual dishes, this place was started by a restaurant owner to give his Taiwanese mom something to do when she moved to Boulder. She’s still at it and has expanded to Denver as well!

We had our US wedding at the amphitheater up here. Treat yourself to a scenic drive to the top, park the car and enjoy some of the surrounding trails for a bonus. Bring a packed lunch - even better!
