More information on Sunflower Restaurant

This pleasant contemporary eatery, eclectically decorated with murals, rotating local art, and a flagstone floor, touts itself as "Boulder's most unique restaurant," based on its dedication to healthy cuisine. The ingredients include certified organic produce, fresh seafood, and free-range, hormone-free poultry and game. Owner-chef Jon Pell takes a multicultural approach: Sunflower features a diverse selection of dinner entrees, including shiso grilled ahi tuna served with lemon-soy watercress and jicama salad; seared elk tenderloin with wild mushroom demi-glace; and tempeh scaloppine with wine, lemon, and fresh herbs. Lunch includes fresh variations on sandwiches -- such as a blackened salmon burger -- as well as specialties like pad Thai and farfalle with saffron creme. An all-you-can-eat organic salad buffet is served daily until 4pm, organic juices and wines are available, and there's a popular weekend brunch. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
