Best Fine Dining in Black Hawk

"If you’re a foodie who wants to taste Boulder’s best, head back to downtown and visit Frasca Food and Wine and see why Bon Appetit named Boulder the “Foodiest Town in North America.” Frasca is hands down one of Boulder’s finest restaurants, with three notable James Beard awards under its belt. If you like wine, you’ll be delighted to know Frasca is co-owned by Bobby Stuckey, one of the most respected drink-makers in the state."

"Enjoy chef Kelly Jeun and chef Eduardo Valle Lobo’s luxurious 4-course menu with two options per course along with some incredible by-the-glass offerings all weekend. Reserve here for Frasca’s Valentine's Menu ($200/person), offered Feb. 12-14, 2021. Or, dine in Frasca’s Yurt Village or new Alpenglobes for an exquisite tasting menu ($250/person with optional wine pairings), reservable here."

"The restaurant has earned not one but three James Beard awards. The most exciting of those was when Frasca made the finals for the James Beard Outstanding Restaurant category, which is like winning the Oscar of all Oscar awards for deliciousness and quality. Frasca also has the Best Chef in the Southwest and has been lauded for its wine service."

"Set at the foothills of the beautiful Flatirons, this century-old landmark features exquisite indoor and outdoor dining (on the historic property's wraparound porch). Starters include house-smoked salmon, gazpacho, organic beet salad, and steamed mussels. You can also get entrees like grilled Colorado lamb, Rocky Mountain trout, venison steak, pan-seared ahi tuna, salmon, halibut, and vegetarian specialties."

"The Chautauqua Dining Hall was built in 1898, and has been hosting weddings for over 100 years now!. You can have a ceremony on the big lawn with views of the flatirons, move to the covered porch for cocktail hour, then finishing the evening with dinner and dancing inside the dining hall. This is one of the most iconic venues in the area for a reason!"

"Set at the foothills of the beautiful Flatirons, this century-old landmark features exquisite indoor and outdoor dining (on the historic property's wraparound porch). Starters include the Farm Vegetable Plate or savory Sausage Flatbread. For dinner, delight your senses with the Pan roasted trout or Chicken and Dumplings with roasted Colorado chicken."

"In true steakhouse fashion, Steakhouse No. 316 invites an atmosphere of a dark dining room, sultry cocktails, old-world art, and red velvet booths for extra flare. But the steaks from its prime butcher shop at this fanciful restaurant, steal the show. Serving up everything from a whiskey dry-aged rib-eye to a tomahawk rib-eye for two, there is something for everyone."

"Located on enchanting Pearl Street, this pizzeria mixes traditional Italian elegance and charm with some American edge and swagger. Among their mouthwatering concoctions, you'll find the Vesuvius, a lite tomato, basil, and mozzarella salad that will leave you refreshed, and more than ready for a glass of one of Pizzeria Locale's ostentatious wines. And, for the main course, may we suggest the Filetto pizza, complete with sweet cherry tomatoes, creamy burrata cheese, pungent garlic, fresh basil, and Parmigiano Reggiano ( we could call it plain, old, Parmesan, but that wouldn't quite describe Pizzeria Locale's take on this well-known cheese)."

"Boulder Baked delivers (literally) with a wide range of vegan desserts. They’re known most for their cookies, but they’ve got all kinds of delicious desserts, and pride themselves on their vegan and gluten-free options."

"Some of the best dessert and bakery offerings in the city, but their soup and sandwich combos are great too."

"This location in Boulder has almost every one of their flavors along with Greek frozen yogurt and sorbet. If you haven’t tried Jimmy Fallon’s flavor called “The Tonight Dough” you are seriously missing out. So far my favorite time to go is after dinner on a warm night so you can sit outside on a bench at the Pearl Street mall, watching people walk by."

"The number 5 best ice cream in Boulder goes to good ole classic Ben and Jerry’s. Whether you’re wanting a classic like Phish Food or Half Baked or want to be a risk taker and try Salted Caramel Brown-ie Ale (pictured above), Ben and Jerry’s are your guys. They never disappoint."

"If you're craving something sweet for lunch, Ben & Jerry's has sundaes and ice cream sandwiches for under $10. Add a brownie or banana to your sundae and you have a complete meal!"
