heabrook, have you ever been to sherpa's restaurant in boulder? It is located at 825 Walnut St. in Boulder and they have Indian, Tibetan, and Nepali dishes. There are many vegan or vegetarian and easily veganizable dishes on the menu, and the food is delicious. It's located in a gorgeous old victorian house, and has wonderful outdoor patio seating in warm weather. It's one of my favorite places to go in Boulder. The staff is really nice and they are truly happy to accomodate vegans. The Sherpa's vegetable stew with dumplings is warming and delicious. They'll make you a dairy-free saag with tofu and/or potatoes. The vegetable momos and lentil soup are delicious. etc. Just be sure to tell them no dairy and they will make up special bread for you and see that all your food is prepared how you want it.

They don't have dosa and things like that (south Indian stuff), but it's still a great place to go for a nice relaxing meal. Great atmosphere.

Oh, and if you ever get out to Nederland, definitely check out Katmandu!




What's the menu prices look like at Sherpa's?

I don't remember very specifically, but I think they're pretty moderate (and portions are generous)- maybe around 8-12 bucks per entree?

I'll have to check it out. Farmer's market is back in swing so hopefully I will get down that way at least every other weekend for the co-op and FM shopping. Sherpa's might be a good place to have a bite while I'm there.

cool. :)
there's also a new all vegan market in town. (i'm one of the owners actually ;p)

I will. I'm curious about something... I heard a rumor that Deby's Gluten
Free Deli was trying to get some of their products stocked at TLF. Any
idea if this will ever happen? I'm guessing another freezer would have to
be added along with more shelf space. You guys might not have room for it.

Awwwh, Three Little Figs, what a cute name! :smitten:

I'm not that familiar with their product line, but we're always open to considering new things. The tough part, though, is that we *are* in a very small space and so (until if/when we move to a larger location in a year or two), it's pretty competitive for shelf and especially freezer space and the products that usually "make the cut" are the unique/hard to find elsewhere types of things. But never say never!

thanks. :o

I am new to the boards here and wanted to say hi. I live in Englewood and I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, but I seem to be pushing my way to veganism. I started a Denver area veggies group on google called DenverVeggies. You can find it at groups.google.com/group/DenverVeggies. I would like it to be more than just dinners and potlucks, but a social group for vegetarians and vegans because we often share more than just diet.

As for me, I am 33, pilot, motorcyclist, animal lover, equestrian, skier, snowboarder, hiker, biker, camper, and photographer. If you have similar interests, drop me a line.

Ciao,

C.J.

My sister is in Denver this week May 8th through the 12th.

She asked me if there was anything cool to see there. I'm really not sure. She's on a business trip and can't travel to far in the company vehicle. In fact, I'm really not too sure exactly where she is going. If there is an Air Force Base nearby or some type of Air Force facility ... that would be where her business is.

She's lacto/ovo, but will be stuck traveling with omnis. If you guys can help suggest some restaurants that would be friendly to her and not make her co-workers roll their eyes, I bet she'd really appreciate it.

If there are any good places to site see, besides just taking pictures of the mountains... let me know. I'll pass on the info.

Thank you!!

The Cheesecake Factory has a portobello sandwich that's good - it's on the end of the 16th Street Mall. There's a PF Changs behind the Krispy Kreme near the mall (Chinese Food, the menu is clearly marked as to which dishes are vegetarian - I can't remember the name of the mall though). For sight seeing, there's the Denver Botanic Gardens, the Butterfly Pavilion (in Westminster, nw of Denver), the Denver Zoo, the Museum of Natural History (there's a controversial anatomy display there right now), LoDo (Lower Downtown, bars and restaurants, like a "strip"), Elitch Gardens. www.denver.org (http://www.denver.org), might be useful.

The Air Force Academy is at the north end of Colorado Springs - is that where she's going? It's about an hour and half south of Denver.

Thank you SummerSn0ws. I sent her an email and supposedly she read it. I haven't heard from her personally though.

She might be working at Buckley which is an Air Force Base in Aurora.

Yeah, I doubt its the academy. Do you have any advice Ducati?

YW, trueveggie :)

or Lowry Airforce Base. that's bigger. but i am adamant, the watercourse resturant by buffalo exchange is where you go for vegan food.

Sorry TrueVeggie,

I was away for a while and missed you post.

COLORADO represent! just reply with everyone who lives in this weird strange pot smoking state.
