I've been coming to Boulder for more than 10 years, and one restarant that has survived, and thrived, is The Med. It's still one of the best bargains in town and one of my favorite places for casual dining in a beautiful atmosphere. They have recently expanded, done a bit of a makeover, and the results are spectacular. Inside, outside, or bar area, it doesn't matter where you eat, they're all equally enjoyable. Since it was a beautiful summer day we opted for outside under an umbrella in the patio area.
The menu has so much to choose from it's hard to know where to begin. There were four adults for lunch plus the baby who loves to eat, so we ordered about 10 items. They have hot tapas, cold tapas, soups, salads, pizza, pasta and sandwiches. We ordered calamari with a wonderful dipping sauce, lamb chunks on a skewer cooked to perfection, served with a cool minty yogurt sauce, lamb meatballs in marinara sauce, caesar salad, rucola salad with with arugula, blue cheese, dates, onion, pancetta and shallot dressing, tuna tartare, white bean gazpacho, hummus, grilled artichokes, and bruschetta. Each dish is betwwen $2.50-$5.00, so for very little money you can have a real feast. The pizzas looked delicious, and big salads are on the menu for those that don't want to graze. I love this kind of restaurant. A little of this, a little of that. It makes eating so much fun.
Go to www.themedboulder.com and check out their complete menu, happy hour and hours of operation. They have a great happy hour with reduced prices on tapas and drinks. Also, they offer a kids menu. They are very kid friendly. When we left they had a monumental cleanup job, as half of Lennon's food ended up on the floor, but they cleaned up his mess with a smile. I loved our meal and will go back again when I return to Boulder. Every visit is a new experience. There is always something unique and interesting to try. That keeps me coming back.
