Avanti Food and Beverage Boulder

It's a nice spot but not remarkable the portions from the two stalls I ordered were small for the price I think there are better choices in the area The food was good, but the place has more of a quick-meal vibe. It doesn’t feel as cozy as similar spots I’ve visited in other states … that was the impression I got

Bustling modern food court with lots of options. Great for a group with varied tastes. We got food from three vendors - Peko Peko, Boychik and Quiero Arepas. My daughter’s fave was the fried plantains either cheese from Quiero Arepas while mine was the fried cauliflower salad from Boychik. Upstairs patio was partially closed for a private event so we sat downstairs.

This is a must-visit while in Boulder or the area! The rooftop views are spectacular, and in cooler weather, you can enjoy the fire pit while sipping on one of the fabulous drinks from the bar. I have enjoyed food from many of the restaurants, but Rooted Craft Kitchen is my favorite!

I love the variety of food and drinks on this place. The view of the flatiron mountains is also beautiful. Outdoor seating is the way to go!

This is my first time in Boulder. My boyfriend and I, we only had drinks. My drink was a peach margarita, whereas his was a mojito. They both tasted delicious. They have a diverse cocktail selection, and the bartender gave us a recommendation; he was really nice and helpful. And the vista is breathtaking! I wish I could have gone there at night; it would have been fantastic. Unfortunately, the outdoor seats were all taken when we went, but the indoor view was beautiful, with views of the mountains. Avanti F&B comes highly recommended. Well worth it!✨

Stopped in here with my daughter and got her a burger and fries. Luckily she liked the food but it was SO expensive. With tip it was $23 and that’s without a drink. Insane. Definitely not worth it. I got an arepa and it was $14 which is also insane. It’s an arepa. I own a business so I understand pricing. Definitely not worth the price. Go home and eat 😂🤣- no seriously, save your money and go home and eat if you’re reading this.

While in Denver for the International Chiefs of Police Conference, our Oregon delegation gathered here for an informal time of food, drink, and conversation. It was the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed evening for approximately 60 of our association members and guests. One of the guests commented that it felt like we were gathering in someone's living room. The food and drink were great, and the options varied enough for everyone's tastes. The service could not have been better. I'd like to give a shout out to three of the staff that helped to make our event seamless: Morgyn Zebell, Evan Fischback, and Trent Ripperda. Thank you Avanti for a memorable evening in Denver.

Great space with patio / rooftop view with a ton of space. Great food options and service.

One of my hiking and backpacking buddies recommend Avanti...and he was right. Great smallish food court ( I guess you would call it that) with a STUNNING rooftop bar/dinning area. I mean the views of the Flat Irons is stunning. My sandwich sucked and I felt misled by the vendor....dude it was a grinder ( I hate) not a roast pork sandwich like you find in the Philly public market. But the caprese sandwich was amazing. Great falafel sammy at the Mediterranean place though. Location is great

When I went here, it was for my friend's birthday. We dressed as old people. The people working there were kind about it, sometimes being silly isn't always well received in bars and it was. I liked that. Avanti has a rooftop bar and some heaters outside. On the roof there is an indoor seating and they have one pizza place up there. Go downstairs and there's quite a few food options, all with different styles. Vegan and gluten free options at a few of the stands. You will be carded before going upstairs (even if you are not drinking) so have that ready or they will not let you go up the elevator. Going just for food, it's good enough but I wouldn't say it's a must-visit for elaborate flavors and delicious eats. Definitely top noch bar food if that's your lick. Location is great if you're walking around on Peal street and want to stop in somewhere.

This is located in a Food Hall off of the Pearl Street Mall. We got there at around 4:30 and when we left at around 6:30, most of the places on the mall we're either closing or already closed so it doesn't seem like a lively place for the night time. Inside the Food Hall, there are many options for you to choose from. Your group can order from different counters and sit together for your meal. I ordered from the Italian food counter. Some of the dishes were hit or miss depending on the seasoning. Some tasted really good and others like the polenta were a little bland. I'll add that there were a few confusing things about the service. For example, when your food was ready and you talked up to the counter, it was hard to tell out of the multiple orders that were ready to be picked up, which one was yours. So I feel like there should be a bit more guidance there. All in all this is a good place to grab a bite to eat with a group that has different tastes but I wouldn't be prepared to be blown away by the meals.

Great vibe for after work happy hour or meet with friends. This place has a variety of foods and coffee shop. There is a common seating area. We were on the rooftop, 4th floor for an after work drinks and appetizers. View was spectacular. Servers were professional and friendly. We tried their Italian meatballs, spring rolls, hummus and pita, crudités, spicy chicken skewers. The food is good but not spectacular.

5 Stars for a really great food hall that also has a rooftop bar with incredible views! This food hall is in the heart of the walkable area in Boulder and absolutely worth a visit. I started out on the first floor grabbing a drink at the bar. I ordered the Bananas & bourbon and my sister got the Ginger peach margarita. Both were really well balanced! I also noticed that they had a ton of cocktails on tap, including a mezcal Negroni, old fashioned, etc. The food hall had stalls of several different cuisines and they all looked great! We then moved upstairs to the rooftop where there was covered and uncovered areas, all with outstanding views of the mountains! I came back later that week with a group and we ordered an array of dishes to share. The pizzas were a definite repeat and there wasn't a single dish I wouldn't order again. Overall, this is a great spot for folks visiting Boulder and looking to get awesome views, well crafted cocktails, and diverse dishes.

This sandwich was delicious. The focaccia bread was to die for - so airy and not too heavy. The chicken cutlet was cooked to perfection and paired so well with a nice afternoon beer. Didn't wait long at all after placing my order and our waitress was very attentive. Great vibes inside and on the rooftop.

I attended a small wedding reception here (about 20 people) and what a fun space! The first thing you take in is the awesome views over Boulder, including the sunset and mountains! A good rooftop view is a quick way to my heart, and as an "out of towner" I was excited when we arrived from the get go! They had an area sectioned off for our group, which a few waitresses were assigned to. When we arrived, the tables were set up with water and glasses, plates, utensils, and all the pre-ordered appetizers. The staff that were with us were awesome! They were quick to answer questions and get drinks for us as we arrived. They were attentive and cleared empty plates and glasses quick, so the tables didn't get too crowded and messy. Sometimes large groups can be intimidating and stressful, but the waitresses handled it with ease! Now for the food! I started off with a ginger peach margarita. It was yummy, but wasn't overly gingery or peachy. To me was just a typical margarita, but I'm a lover of those so it wasn't an issue for me! We had pre-ordered appetizers, which included some turkey sandwiches, bruschetta, veggies and hummus, and some sort of cheese sandwiches. I'm not exactly sure what everything was, but I enjoyed everything I had! Everything tasted fresh and had great flavor! The unique thing about this restaurant is that the main floor is like a food hall. It had 7 different restaurants to pick from, with a wide variety of options to pick from. Because we had so many appetizers, I opted with a simple margarita pizza (the Basic B) from New Yorkese. I was shocked at the size of the pizza! Definitely enough to share with a few people! It's wood fired style pizza which is my favorite too so extra bonus points there. The one downside is the parking situation. There's street parking in front of the building that's pay by the hour, but it's somewhat limited and hard to find a spot there if it's busy. However, there is a free ramp a few blocks away if you don't mind walking! Overall this is a fun hangout spot for locals or out of towners. With some amazing views, great food and drink options, it's easy to have a great time here!

Been here twice & have had a great experience both times! The BEST spicy mango marg. The first time I tried the Mediterranean restaurant & got the chicken hummus plate and it was to die for. Today I had sushi place and it was pretty good, nothing I would get again though. All of the workers are very nice & this place has the best rooftop! Can't beat these views!

We have been going to Avanti very regularly for several years. We have tried most of their kitchens as they have rotated. Our current faves are Boychik, Mangia Panino, Peko Peko and New Yorkese. Tonight was New Yorkese. We love the pizza as well as the Cannoli dessert. What is unique here is that it is up on the roof, though most is covered, there is outdoor seating with various views of downtown all the way to the Flatirons. Tonight, while we were having a pizza night, a squall came over and we saw a double rainbow. The second picture I took was from the street as we left and headed to the bus stop to head home on The Hop. When squalls come over the industrious staff brings in all the seating pillows and umbrellas from outside. There is lots of room inside this level for large events and there is a very nice bar in addition to the food options on this level. All of the other kitchens are on the street level and there is a bar there too. There are stairs as well as an elevator to access the two floors of food that are 3 floors apart, a very unique construction that word well for Avanti as well as the private uses of the floors in between. A wonderful addition to Pearl back in 2021.

Really cool indoor food court, with lots of seating both inside and outside. We chose to sit outdoors and the view was absolutely amazing! I got the chicken shawarma from Boychik and it was fantastic.

Wow what a fucking experience!! On the first floor, we had 2 spots. We got the burger from rooted (rooted burger- American) with their fries and lord have mercy! The burger was out of bounds! And the sauces were immaculate. Perfectly executed. Also got the chicken carbonara from mangia panino - Jeremiah the owner is front and center. Fresh homemade noodles, with a flavor profile that is orgasmic! A Michelin star dish imo. Make sure you add the chicken, thank me later. Up stairs we got the New Yorker - WOW! Top 3 pizza in CO imo. I frequent NYC and this is the closest to NYC style pizza I've had. The it red sauce was perfectly done. Got the Annie - red sauce mozzarella spicy sausage and pepperoni w/onion. Drinks were good, got beer and margs

My photos are terrible BUT TRUST ME THE FOOD WAS SO DAMN GOOD! If I lived here I'd go to Avanti once a week! We got the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and shrimp quesadilla. The guacamole and salsa were sooo flavorful. The ambience is incredible. The views are gorgeous. I wish I could have tried all the different food vendors! They also have pizza, pho, tacos. If you love a bite of everything this spot is for you. And obviously the beer helps

We ate here on Black Friday. The reason we picked this place was because we wanted to try "Pollo Tico" with our Costa Rican friend. We got two orders of "half chicken" that came with "gallo pinto". And two orders of "Arroz con pollo". Everything was delicious and our Tica friend said that it tasted really authentic. It wasn't super cheap, considering that it's more of a food court place, but it wasn't outrageous either ($88 total). The music was an added bonus. Really nice during a super cold snowy day in Boulder. Totally recommended!

Really cool spot to have a variety of food and beverage selections to choose from. I really liked their Taiwanese food because it tasted authentic and amazing. They had a bar and pizza place upstairs as well with a balcony and a sick view. Only complaint was it felt like a zoo upstairs and was noisy and most seating was sectioned for private events. Would definitely come back again.

The rooftop patio is the big attraction on the Pearl Street Mall. The pizza place is my go-to. I also like the bao place on the first floor of the food court

I love these food court style places!! Avanti is the second one I've ever been to and I honestly didn't even know it existed until my sister suggested it. The building is right on Pearl street and is one of those places that has an option for more or less any type of craving. There are tons of tables scattered around the central area of Avanti and each table has a QR code you can scan to view menus and order food right from the table; payment is handled through your phone as well, so the whole process is quick, easy, and you don't have to stand in any lines of you don't want to! Super awesome way to run things, in my opinion. There are quite a few options... pizza, Italian, Thaiwanese, American, and Costa Rican. I ended up ordering chicken patacon from Pollo Tico, which I learned through reading other Yelp reviews is the brain child of a previous Top Chef contestant and my sister decided on a falafel plate from the nearby BoyChik. Prices are pretty reasonable for what we got and it only took five or 10 minutes before we were notified that our food was ready for pickup. My plate was very unique looking; I'm a big fan of plantains and was excited to give this a try! I didn't manage to snap a photo of my sister's, unfortunately, but believe me when I say it looked *chef's kiss.* First impression was that the flavors were an explosion, but the plantain was a little tough to cut through with the cutlery I had, so getting this down took a little more effort than I was expecting. The concept is honestly super cool, though, so I think deconstructing it a little on your plate would help if you run into the same issue. Sister's hummus was so bomb (I snuck a taste) and she was happy with the rest of her plate as well. We stopped by the little on site coffee/pastry shop on our way out to grab a cookie to share. Since we came in a little bit later in the day - I'd say late lunch around 2 - there weren't as many options available, so if you're specifically looking for a sweet treat, earlier might be better! Overall super cool concept; I wish there was one a bit closer to where I live! I'd like to try some of the other spots at some point, so I'll definitely be back!

I love food halls, so when my husband and I were looking for lunch in Boulder, this was an obvious choice. We tried Pig and Tiger and BoyChik. Between the two, BoyChik was my favorite. I'd also recommend some bao buns from Pig and Tiger. This food hall is on the smaller side compared to most other food halls we've been to, so your selection is a bit more limited. I'd still happily come back to try other restaurants though.

The downstairs bar makes amazing drinks! The frosé was outstanding and the 'Le Queen' was great too. Got food at Peko Peko (cold noodles) and it was so delicious that I got it the next time we went. Love that it's open later and there are so many different options for sitting. Lots of food options too; it's like a little food court but very healthy and clean.

Food courts are a great way to make sure everyone is happy with their choice and not be tethered to one table waiting for your server. Avanti has lots of good choice both in food and in seating. You can order on the first floor or as we found out too late from the QR code menu at each table on the 4th floor. There is also a pizza option on the 4th floor. The view is great from the roof, especially at sunset. We liked the Thursday night energy. The food was good, except the Pork Belly Bao buns. They are pricey and the pork belly was cold and tough. Everything else was flavorful and fresh. Parking is right down the painted alleyway.

Vegan tasty options, ambience, and price. Convenient parking.. Great plane for different dietary options.

Happy hour drinks were great. really nice atmosphere for all ages. We even brought our baby. Really nice rooftop bar. We came at night so it was a little chilly to be out there. Daytime would be nice

Avanti had a nice selection of food for my party of three since we have very different tastes. The frose and the spicy mango margarita hit the spot after hiking up to the Royal Arch. I had the Yuca fries from Apollo Ticco which were pretty good. I couldn't eat them all but they were good to share for a fun little snack. I also had the pork belly buns from Pig and Tiger which were so yummy. My friend also had their pot stickers and she said they were fantastic. My other front got the fish and chips from Rooted and she loved it! We also had the Calabrian Barrera from New Yorkese which one of my friends didn't like but I thought it was good. Overall we liked the variety and the rooftop option overlooking the flatirons of Boulder was a great lunch option for us.

Been coming here since I was a freshmen but I came today for the first time since I've been 21 and they took my friends government ID, ripped it, kicked us out, then doubled down and told us it was fake until we brought the cops inside. Were completely rude about the entire situation until the cop arrived and Natalie was insanely mean and condescending. I NEVER write reviews but this was warranted. I usually give the benefit of the doubt but this was insane. My first review ever. Terrible terrible experience here and very saddened by the situation. Hoping that Natalie and whoever else was in on this weird scheme was fired or held accountable. Do not go here unless you want to be disrespected!

Avanti is a different way to eat out. It is a food court so there are many different choices for types of food. We opted to eat pizza on the second floor hoping to find a spot outdoors for the great view. Of course that is prime seating and I would assume always hard to grab. There are still places to stand and view or snap a photo even if you don't find a place to eat. The pizza was good. I would highly recommend Avanti if you are in Boulder.

What a great place. Randomly stumbled across this and I was so shocked. It's a cute little food hall with lots of great food options. They even have a roof top bar and pizza place with tons of out door seating. This is a fun place to come and eat. They even host lots of events.

My apologies to the busser that I constantly stopped to order drinks or other things that were not her job- she was very patient and kind about my mistakes! The server on the rooftop was great- you can also order through the toast app at any of the restaurants or order drinks, and have it brought directly to your table. I did not take advantage of this but I wish I had- it probably would have been a touch quicker. We tried the Annie pizza from New yorkese, which has big chunks of sausage on a thin crust pizza. The sauce tasted super fresh, and there was a little burnt on the bottom, like it's a wood fire stove. It was about 12 inches, so definitely a size for sharing. It was good, but could have used salt. The frose was good but a little sour, loved the polar buff club, which was a frozen drink that was heavy on the coconut. We also got Barney's blood, which tasted like an adult grape soda, and the pareja picante, which was way too heavy on the jalapeño flavor for us and had to be sent back (props to our server who was very sweet about it) Loved the rooftop seating, although everyone obviously had the exact same idea we did about sitting outside on a beautiful spring day. We baked a little in the sun but it wasn't too bad. Love the seating options inside! Totally worth coming to and I think we will be back to try other options!

Great energy. Great environment. Good food choices! Great service. Clean. Awesome views! Family friendly. Date night. Shopping.

Incredible pizza. Best views in Boulder. The best time to go is on the weekend but make sure you get a table before you grab a drink. It gets crowded. They also take reservations which is smart if you're planning ahead.

This is the type of place where you bring a large indecisive group of friends. There are several restaurants in here, and they are all mediocre. The restaurant itself is very loud, and that is okay because this is mostly a place for people in their early twenties who want to drink. People also like to bring their dogs here.

This place was recommended to me several times. I decided to take some friends who were visiting here for dinner and drinks one night. There was a group of 6 of us, and we all had a great time. There is plenty of inside and outside seating. Large parties will have no issues finding a table. I got a meatball sub, spring rolls, and a beef noodles dish with a Japanese rootbeer that was so good. There is such a variety of options to choose from. Everyone in our party was able to order something completely different and what they wanted. The rooftop seating was awesome, and we got to see the sunset while we were there. The variety of operations was impressive, from food to drinks. The place is huge, so picking up the food was not simple because there is no table service. Overall, the sunset food and drinks were all great. I will definitely start recommending this place to people. Can't wait to visit again soon.

Good food but pricey for the casual place that it is. Paid $15 for a vegan plantain veggies plate which was small size. There are about 5-6 places inside you can order from, and we picked the South American place.

Big can of this spot: if you walk in and aren't feeling the vibe, take the elevator to the 4th floor where the trendy seating, lounges, and mountain views await. Great cocktails too (I love the peaches and roses pitcher). For the food, this is just a review of Pollo Tico -- the New Costa Rican spot from Chef Byron Gomez (of Top Chef season 18) -- although there are lots of other great options here too. I loved the quarter chicken (dark meat), patacon (shredded chicken on a fried plantain), and shredded chicken tacos (special). All are gluten free too!

Chic rooftop spot w/ a lot of variety & a bustling ambiance. My friend and I went here while we were exploring Boulder on vacation and it is a fun spot! There's a ton of drinks and food to choose from - all on the pricey side but you're paying for the trendy, rooftop vibe with a view. I had the chicken shawarma plate which was honestly great. The pita & salad were fresh, the hummus was exceptionally creamy and the chicken was flavorful This is a great date spot or place to meet your pals for a drink and/or some food. It can get busy and the seats can fill up but I would for sure go back if I was in town again.

Avanti Food and Beverage is a food hall with different vendors inside offering different types of cuisine. We did a lap and all the vendors literally tasty, but we decided to stop at Lost City Coffee so the following review is for Lost City Coffee only. There was ample seating inside the food hall. I ordered a cold brew with honey cinnamon syrup and almond milk. I was pleased that the honey cinnamon was not too sweet, but offered a lot of flavor. Cold brew was $5.25. The barista was super nice and answered all of my questions about the menu. The pastry case looked delicious, but I only got a coffee this time. Delicious coffee and I'd totally be a repeat customer if I lived close by!

Great place for big groups with upscale food. We got the hummus bowl with chicken and falafel. Great happy hour too!!

This is a good spot with a really nice rooftop patio and one of those "modern food court" setups on the first floor. It's a nice place, though it gets pretty crowded and there are often parties on that nice patio which means chunks of it are often roped off and inaccessible to the rest of us. The food is good, but on the pricey side for the amount you get. I think the best deal is the pizza, which is actually the only food establishment on the roof. Getting there means either waiting for The World's Slowest Elevator or finding the stairs tucked into the back right corner (opposite side on the building from the first floor restrooms) and getting a workout in. Avanti is on the first and top floors, but there are several floors of office space to bypass in between. Parking is validated if you park in the garage on 14th, the entrance for which is on the left side of the street right after Pearl. There's usually an Avanti sign there indicating the entrance. Just bring you're parking sticker with you to Avanti and they will put a sticker on it that let's you escape for free (ask at the host stand on the first floor). A good spot overall. We hold bi-monthly events here for our film industry group (NOCOVA - Northern Colorado Visual Arts) and people seem to like it!

Great upscale food court! Tons of different options make this spot an ideal choice for a group. I tried the Falafel Hummus Bowl from Boychik, The Caprese Sandwich on homemade focaccia from Mangia Panino and the Fried Chicken Sandwich from Rooted Craft Kitchen. All were delicious! The rooftop deck has a beautiful view of downtown Boulder/the flatirons and tons of seating. Would highly recommend for a casual lunch!

Cool food hall and rooftop on Pearl St. The rooftop has amazing views of Boulder! Perfect spot to hang out after a hike!

Nathalie from Avanti is literally the worst manager ever! She is the manager of the top bar and took my friends ID who is over the age of 21! Not only did she take her ID, but she tore her ID at the top making her ACTUAL form of legal identification broken. We had to call the main manager and he STILL didn't believe us so we had to get the police involved which the police took one look at the ID and said it was completely legal. Never eat here or drink here unless you want terrible service that'll require legal intervention. DO NOT EAT OR DRINK HERE! The managers are absolutely terrible and do not care about anyone or anything and will ruin your identification card.

I love this concept and I love this execution of all the stalls. Amazing variety of food cuisines, amazing vibes, and can't beat the location! You can get everything from burgers to Mediterranean to pizza to bagels and more! Lots of good seating, easy to order right at the counter or via QR code and great spot for when people in a group want different things to eat. Check it out!!

I love this place! The setup is much better than the Denver one (in my opinion of course). Located on the iconic Pearl St. I always have an easy time finding metered parking. The upstairs/rooftop is set up in such an inviting way! They also have a huge bar upstairs and down. This trip we ordered: Pork belly rice dish & egg rolls from Pig and Tiger, Truffle risotto from Rooted Craft, and my friend got the Seasonal cocktail- pumpkin spice espresso martini. I stuck with a Diet Coke, but took a sip of the cocktail and it was delicious!!!

Avanti's strength is in the variety of food vendors you can choose from. It's the ideal spot for a big group with picky eaters or, if you're like me, indecisive about what to eat. So here's what I ended up doing: I waited for a few others in my group to do the hard part -- deciding which of the seven vendors to choose from. Once a spot was nailed down, the task of ordering didn't seem too daunting! Silly? Not if you have decision paralysis because everything sounds so good! I ended up having the chicken shawarma bowl from Boychik, as I was looking for something on the healthier end. If you're on the rooftop, like we were, you'll get a server who only takes drink orders. Otherwise, you have to order food from an app (which is a bit easier if you're not all ordering from different vendors!). Another pro tip: take the (four?) flights of stairs if you want to head to the rooftop, but just know that as soon as you walk through the front doors, there's an elevator. I think it can be pretty easy to miss if you're not looking for it.

Beautiful rooftop patio, one of the best I visited in Boulder. Bar and pizza joint upstairs, other vendors on basement level. The bar was excellent and going with pizza is the easiest choice. Several of us tried to order online for food downstairs but it takes awhile since there is only one elevator and/or you have to walk up and down four flights of stairs instead. Some in our party just ate downstairs since it's easier, then came up to the rooftop for drinks. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth stopping by for a drink at happy hour and for the beautiful sunset behind the mountains.

This food court is located on the corner along the Pearl Street Mall. From the outside it looks huge, but it only has about six vendors. However, there is a decent mix of good choices. There is a bar, sandwiches, Taiwanese, Middle Eastern, dessert, and comfort food. Plenty of seating options:outdoor and roof patio, two floors of inside seating. This area can get busy, so if street parking is a bust there is a garage a block away, which is free on weekends.

Avanti is one of the coolest places is Boulder on pearl street. It's an eatery with multiple restaurants to choose from including pizza, Asian food, middle eastern food & American. There's 2 bars- one on the main floor and one of the rooftop, which has outdoor and indoor seating. I ordered a wild arugula salad and salt & vinegar fries from Rooted & accompanied it with a pear cider. The fries were incredible and I've never had anything like it. It was like eating salt and vinegar chips and fries at the same time! Although the arugula salad was mostly just arugula, it was very refreshing and delicious if you like arugula as much as me haha. Avanti would be a great place to go if you have a group with different cravings since there are so many options or great for just a place to grab a drink with an amazing view.

Great spot, lots of options for food! The servers provide the drinks, the rest of the place is set up with different vendor-type restaurants where you order and they text you when to come grab it... I'm really diggin' this style of atmosphere, where you can either order from the NY style Pizzeria or Chinese Food from another setup. Super chill place to hang out with coworkers and shoot the breeze, especially up on that top floor! Really hoping to get back here when I return for another work conference!

Great place for options and any time of cuisine you like! My husband and I were craving Mediterranean and we were NOT disappointed. Their chicken shawarma and falafel are out of this world! they also have options like pizza, Jewish cuisine, oysters, Taiwanese and they have a cafe with coffee and desserts. They also have a roof top bar where you can see the flatirons and mountains. Absolutely great venue.

Am I allowed to say I love the Boulder location so much more than the Denver location? Because i do! it's just amazing, from the rooftop patio to the service, it was just overall better. The drinks were delicious and the service was 5 star. we didn't order food but did come back for dessert which was Little Man ice cream so can't complain.

This was my first trip to Avanti in Boulder. I live up the street from the one in Denver, so I tend to end up there over Boulder. I was ecstatic when I saw Pig & Tiger. I am probably at least 50% dumpling, so naturally, I knew this would be my choice for my meal. I ordered two pork belly buns, Zhajiangmian, steamed chicken dumplings. You can see all three in my picture, which was taken after some food had been shared with others. I also got a side of chili crisp, which really added something to the dishes. Overall, it was pretty decent food. The atmosphere of Avanti is just so overwhelming though. It was loud, and we couldn't find a table except at a bar. We were a larger group, so we were not able to converse as expected, which was a little bit of a bummer for celebrating a friend's birthday. My partner had the Rooted Burger with fries. I think he said it was just okay. I tried some of the fries and they seemed pretty good. Another friend let us try her pepperoni pizza, which I loved because it had cupping pepperoni. (I'm a sucker for cup pep.) I also wouldn't say this was the best pizza I've ever had, but it was still really good! Overall, I probably wouldn't necessarily be clamoring to go back soon, but it was a fun place to stop for dinner. I would recommend being very ready for the crowds though if you have never been to either Avanti before. I would also add, they do offer validated parking in a lot too. I think that's a really nice perk of visiting Avanti in Boulder since it is on Pearl Street Mall. The lot is at 15th and Spruce.
