About

Boychik is the Mediterranean counter inside Avanti F&B, the food hall at the base of Golden Peak. Its cooking takes traditional dishes and gives them a modern turn, built around dips, hummus bowls and salads, and most of the menu is marked gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan.

It suits anyone who wants a lighter lunch after a morning on Golden Peak, vegetarians and gluten-free diners who are tired of asking for substitutions, and groups at Avanti where one person wants hummus while others head for the burger or taco counters.

The menu

Start with the dips: baba ganoush, whipped feta, labneh with zhoug, muhammara and traditional hummus, sold singly or as a trio. Hummus bowls come topped with chicken shawarma, lamb, falafel or fried cauliflower with dates and mint, served with pita or vegetables. Quinoa tabbouleh and a Greek salad can be topped with falafel, shawarma or lamb. Lemonades, including prickly pear, round it out.

Ordering

Order at Boychik's counter and sit anywhere in the hall or on Avanti's patio; drinks come from Avanti's bar. Boychik also takes pickup orders for the Vail counter through its website, handy for a meal back at the condo.

Catering and other locations

Boychik caters larger orders through its catering team. The Vail counter is one of three; the others are at Avanti Boulder and Stanley Marketplace.

Inside Avanti F&B

Boychik is one of four kitchens in Avanti F&B Vail, which also houses Backyard Burgers, Capriata (sourdough pizza) and Glo (ramen and hand rolls), plus two bars and a large patio facing Golden Peak. Avanti takes no general reservations; see its listing for bar hours, happy hour and events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Boychik Vail open year-round?
No. Boychik is a counter inside Avanti Food & Beverage, a seasonal food hall that operates through the winter and summer seasons and closes in the shoulder seasons between them, and the counter closes with the hall. In late October 2026 the hall is closed for the shoulder season and reopens for the winter season on Friday, November 13, 2026. Check avantifandb.com before a shoulder-season visit.
Where is Boychik in Vail?
Inside Avanti Food & Beverage at 458 Vail Valley Drive, at the base of Golden Peak on the east side of Vail Village. Go into the food hall and look for the Boychik counter; Google lists the unit as C5. Boychik is one of three locations (the others are a stall at Avanti Boulder and a full-service restaurant at Stanley Marketplace in Aurora), and the Vail counter is the only one in Vail. Boychik publishes no phone number; contact is through the hall at (970) 763-6017 or [email protected].
What are Boychik's hours?
In season, Boychik's Vail counter is open daily from noon to 8 PM, which makes it the earliest-closing kitchen in the hall: Avanti's other food counters run to 9 PM Sunday to Thursday and later on weekends, so if you are eating late, Boychik is the counter to visit first. The hall closes entirely in the shoulder seasons; see question 1.
What is on the menu at Boychik Vail, and what should I order first?
Start with the dips: baba ganoush, whipped feta, labneh, muhammara, and traditional hummus, $9 each or three for $26, served with pita or vegetables. The signature form is the hummus bowl, topped with chicken shawarma, lamb, falafel, or fried cauliflower. There are also pita wraps, full plates with hummus, tabbouleh, and salad, quinoa tabbouleh and Greek salads, a $25 mezze platter built for sharing (the pick of 5280's Avanti Vail guide), za'atar fries, and house lemonades including prickly pear. The full menu is on Avanti's website and on boychikkitchen.com.
How much does Boychik Vail cost?
It is one of the lighter checks in Vail. Dips are $9 each or three for $26, salads are $14, pita wraps run $16 to $18, hummus bowls $17 to $19, plates $20 to $22, and the mezze platter is $25, with lemonades at $3 to $5. Prices are as published across Boychik's official menus in October 2026; the stall's two official menus differ by about a dollar on bowls, wraps, and plates, so confirm at the counter.
Is Boychik good for gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan diets?
Yes, it is the strongest counter in the hall for all three. All five dips are marked gluten-free; the baba ganoush, muhammara, traditional hummus, and quinoa tabbouleh are marked vegan; and the falafel and fried cauliflower wraps and bowls are vegetarian as built. Hummus bowls come with a choice of pita or vegetables, which is the built-in gluten-free route, and the kitchen states its dishes adapt easily to dietary preferences. One honest caveat from Boychik itself: its fried items are cooked in shared oil, so ask at the counter if cross-contact matters to you.
What do reviews say about Boychik Vail?
The Vail counter is very new and its review base is still small: Google's local listing for Boychik at Avanti Vail shows 4.9 out of 5 from 10 reviews (October 2026). Most Vail reviews live on the Avanti hall's profiles, where guests single out Boychik's chicken sliders and the mezze platter, and 5280's guide to the hall tells readers to split the platter at the bar. Its older siblings are well reviewed: 4.6 from 148 reviews in Boulder and 4.7 from 300 at Stanley Marketplace.
Can I order Boychik ahead for pickup?
Yes. Boychik's own website has an "Order Pickup at Avanti Vail" link for the Vail counter, so you can order ahead and collect at the counter, handy for a meal back at the condo. In the hall itself, you order at the counter and sit anywhere in the room or on the patio; drinks come from Avanti's bar. No delivery for the Vail counter is offered on official channels.
Is Boychik good for kids?
Yes, and it has an actual kids offer, which is rare in the hall. Boychik's own menu lists kids falafel sliders ($8), chicken shawarma sliders ($9), and lamb gyro sliders ($10), plus hummus and veggies ($7) and a kids falafel bowl ($8), most of them labeled vegan and gluten-free. The food-hall format helps too: children can eat from Boychik while adults order from the other counters, and everyone sits together. Confirm the kids items at the counter, as they appear on Boychik's own menu rather than the hall's menu page.
Can I make a reservation, and can Boychik cater an event?
For ordinary visits, no reservations: the hall is first come, first served, and the only advance bookings are private events through Avanti and large-party dinners (6 to 12 guests) through the hall's OpenTable page, keeping in mind Boychik closes at 8 PM. Boychik also caters directly through its own team; email [email protected]. The business was founded by chef Chase Devitt and co-owner Charles Troup, who opened the first Boychik at Avanti Boulder in 2020.
