The Monette family welcomes you to Flagstaff House Restaurant, an unparalleled Colorado dining experience. Co-owners Don Monette, and his sons Mark and Scott Monette, combine a multi-award-winning wine list from their 15,000 bottle wine cellar, exquisite, French-American cuisine, and impeccable service, along with the personal touches of a family-owned restaurant.

Although just 5 minutes’ drive from Boulder, Flagstaff House Restaurant is built into a mountainside, and overlooks the city at an elevation of 6,000 feet, offering breathtaking views of Boulder and the mountain wildlife all around.

The Monettes have made many expansions and updates to Flagstaff House since it was built as a cabin in 1929, including adding huge, floor to ceiling picture windows, several outside terraces, a richly crafted mahogany bar, and a cozy fireplace.

Come see for yourself why Flagstaff House is:

• Still rated the #1 restaurant of approx. 500 restaurants in Boulder on TripAdvisor

• One of just a handful of “Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Restaurants” in Colorado - and designated as such every year since 1978 (formerly known as the Mobile Travel Guide Award)

• Awarded the highly prestigious Wine Spectator Grand Award (their highest award) every year for 30 years in a row, as of 2013 — less than 100 awarded worldwide

• A winner of the Triple AAA Four Diamond Award every year since 1989

• A DiRoNA award winner every year since 1985

• On the Open Table “Top 10 Scenic View” list

Expertise runs high in the Monette family, starting with owner and visionary, Don Monette, who has over 50 years in the restaurant industry.

In 1985, his son, Mark Monette, became Executive Chef, continuing the tradition of fine cuisine at Flagstaff House. Chef Monette has cooked in some of the best restaurants in New York City, France and the Orient, learning from master chefs such as Bernard Hermman and Thomas Keller. His unique style of cooking incorporates French American cuisine with Asian accents. His menu changes daily to take advantage of the freshest seasonal ingredients, including fresh fish flown in daily, locally grown organic products, and herbs from his own organic garden.

In 1993, another son, Scott Monette, became General Manager, bringing a sharp eye for detail and the ability to make every guest feel special, complementing his brother’s skills in the kitchen.

the right way to make it shine for our guests.” — Chef Mark Monette
