Elevated Food Courts
I love that you have so many options here. My favorite is the Patty Man Smash burger with New Mexican green chile ✨
Sawmill Market
Another food court style experience that is very unique to Albuquerque. My go-to is the Green Chile (Yes Green Chile is everywhere!) Lamb Gyro from Green’z followed by a sweet treat of a chantilly cupcake from Cake Fetish.
Tin Can Alley ABQ
Bean There, Loved it a Matcha
From a self proclaimed matcha snob, this is the best place to get your matcha fix in ABQ. I love their specials but my tried and true are simple and not overly sweet matcha such as their vanilla or strawberry matcha 🍓

I love the atmosphere, the staff is so friendly. Matcha is decent but their coffee is great! It’s also dog friendly inside the cafe, so bring your furry friends!
Little Bear Coffee- Specialty Coffee | Cafes | Albuquerque, New ...
Initially discovered at the summer farmers market and it’s a gem! you won’t be disappointed with their pastries it’s not too sugary which I like and they have fresh bread as well! I love their pain au chocolate 🇫🇷🤎
I IHATOV BREAD AND COFFEE
Another banger for matcha! The Matcha Einspanner set my soul on fire. I’m a true matcha lover where I don’t want it to be overly sweet or over powered with additional flavors. And Prado honors that, the Strawberey Matcha is very good as well but not ...

Restaurants Worth the Hype
A cozy Italian eatery in Nob Hill known for handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, craft cocktails. The Chicken Milanese is incredible with a refreshing cucumber gimlet.
M'tucci's Bar Roma
I’ve had a lot of Banh Mi sandwiches in my life and surprisingly this is probably one of the best I’ve had in the states! Incredibly authentic
Coda Bakery
Nothing fancy but it’s historic and classic New Mexican restaurant with handmade tamales, tortillas and sopapillas. When my parents came to visit, it left a lasting impression. He still talks about the sopapillas with honey!
El Modelo Mexican foods: Mexican Food | Albuquerque, NM
This is an absolute New Mexico staple for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you can’t see a pattern… I love their green chile breakfast burrito with sausage and their buttery cinnamon roll is to die for. It’s a cheap eat but good
Frontier Restaurant: Home - Albuquerque
Refreshing flavors, a go-to spot for some fine dining for an intimate date with your boo!
Mesa Provisions
Japanese-inspired food and dishes such as ramen using local produce and ingredients. My favorite is the shoyu ramen in a sucker for pork belly
oni
Being a Chinese girlie there honestly is not a lot of authentic & good dim sum in Albuquerque. IT Dimsun especially their duck does hit the spot for me. Trust me there is some REALLY BAD DIM SUM HERE 🥲
IT DIMSUM
My favorite combination is the Verde Salad to start then the meatball pizza
Farina Pizzeria - Albuquerque
Liquid Courage
There are two locations, one in Downtown Albuquerque or in Corrales, New Mexico. A great hangout spot while enjoying some local brews! Cheers

Support local business! Unique homemade ice cream and the scoop size is LARGEEEEE. They are quite generous
Burque Licks (@burquelicks) · Albuquerque, NM - Instagram
There are only two I get every time Half Baked and Chantilly!
Cake Fetish
Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey
This was the first breakfast place we had when we moved here. Duck hash and they have delicious buttermilk pancakes YUMMMMMM!
The Shop Breakfast & Lunch
Don’t be fooled, yes it’s a pharmacy but there’s also a restaurant! Another classic New Mexican restaurant with homemade tortillas
Duran Central Pharmacy
Started at the farmers market and they opened a store front. Open Fridays to Sundays. My go-to is the cold smoked salmon open faced sandwich
Sunday Bagels
