Spanish cuisine inspired by Chef Eduardo Valle Lobo's heritage that fuses authenticity, creativity and regionality is to be found at Casa Juani. Set in downtown Boulder, the attractive space features stone tile flooring, light wood tables and glazed tile accents. The bar area is a pleasant spot to sip on a sherry-based Gold Finch cocktail or the house sangria.Begin with light bites like the croquetas filled with an Iberico ham-studded sauce béchamel. Short grain Spanish rice, such as the arroz con setas, is impressively prepared and richly flavored with wild mushrooms. Local produce enhances this cuisine, as in Colorado cherries that dress the seared duck with oloroso citrus jus, or the almond torta with Palisade peaches.
