Sadie’s
Make sure to snap a photo in front of the sign at Sadie’s that says, ‘in 1897 in this location, nothing happened.’ A massive place with a barn-like atmosphere, Sadie’s is a local institution. One author makes this her first stop in Albuquerque – bar none. Recite along with us: ‘a carafe of grand gold margaritas, please, and the enchilada dinner with blue corn, rolled, chicken, green vegetarian, no onions and a side of guac. Great. Thanks.’

Seasons Rotisserie & Grill
With bright-yellow walls, high ceilings, fresh flowers and a creative menu, this contemporary place provides welcome relief from the usual Old Town atmosphere. Try the hearty red-chile-dusted chicken burgers or Baja tacos inside or on the rooftop cantina.

Ambrozia Café & Wine Bar
Ambrozia creates scrumptious contemporary global delicacies with local ingredients. Chef-owner Sam Etheride whips up his signature lobster corn dogs year-round, and the four-course Sunday brunch is dynamic (and good value at $20), with delicious choices like granola-crusted French toast, crab cake huevos rancheros, and tequila and red chile salmon. Can you say yum?

Annapurna
For some of the freshest, tastiest health food in town, grab a seat within the bright, mural-covered walls of Annapurna. The delicately spiced ayurvedic dishes are all vegetarian or vegan, but they're so delicious that even carnivores will find something to love.

Don't be put off by the hip, space-age appearance. The staff is welcoming and seats filled with all manner of laptop-viewing, java-swilling locals. There are eight locations scattered across town; also try the one in Nob Hill (3513 Central Ave NE).

Slate Street Café & Wine Loft
This downtown establishment in the burgeoning Route 66 Art District is usually packed with people who come to sample the clever Southwestern fare in the café and drink Merlot in the upstairs wine loft. A great new addition to downtown.
