Chautauqua Dining Hall

Boulder


With prime real estate in Chautauqua Park, this big farmhouse with a wraparound porch is a favorite of hikers, especially for breakfast. Service isn't speedy, nor is the food a standout compared to the local offerings – it's all about the ambience. The menu is farm-to-table, supplied with produce and cured meats from a local farm.
