Cafe Aion - Boulder

The caffe aion (near the college and the fox theater) is a wonderful place for paella and delicious tapas (do not miss the fried cauliflower or mushrooms in the season. there are paellas are delicious, but not as big as they think (they say it serves two that it with appetizers, etc., but men and some can easily order only one per person.) the ambiente is great. it is out of the way (if they are not near the college,) but absolutely worth the ride. I have brought many friends from the city and everything has enjoyed it immensely. when they live in boulder, they visit the many specials that are held on different days of the week. despite the proximity of the college, parking was never a problem.

Great ambiente and tapas! the restaurant has a charming urban vibe and eating is delicious!

Great. the personal is fantastic. delicious food with vegetarian options. I think of it as a casual elegance!

Our second visit and not disappointed. the waiter was happy to taste a series of crying before I set myself up on the choice for dinner. the dinner was excellent as usual. the desert was amazing.

For department events e.g., taking a visiting speaker out to lunch this place is just perfect. There are delicious options for both carnivores and vegetarians, and the food is always delicious. Servers are always very friendly and relatively efficient though if you need to be out of there under an hour, you will want to let them know. My favorite place on the Hill next to the university.
