Restaurant restaurants in Taos

  1. Apple Tree

    Whether you’ve ordered a simple but elegant lunch or a gourmet twist on an old New Mexican classic (mango chicken enchilada), you’ll want to savor your meal on the patio. The fancy surroundings in this historic adobe blend well with fine art, candles and a huge wine list. At lunch an abbreviated to-go menu wraps up simpler, but still stunning fare for a few dollars less than you’d pay to eat inside.

  2. Lambert’s

    Winner of multiple Best of Taos awards, including best restaurant, Lambert’s is a cozy local hangout where patrons sink deeply into sofas and conversation for hours on end. Lace curtains and subtle elegance make this atmospheric eatery a fine experience, whether you’re digging into caribou, buffalo or the pepper-crusted lamb loin ($34).

  3. Doc Martin’s

    Hang out where Bert Philips (the Doc’s bro-in-law) and Ernest Blumenschein cooked up the idea of the Taos Society of Artists. Sit by the kiva fireplace, pop a cork on one of the award-winning­ wines, dive into the chile rellenos ($12) and you’ll be inspired to great things as well. Reservations recommended.

  4. Graham’s Grille

    Locals say this is the best new restaurant in town. It serves honest, creative and nonfussy food in hip retro-mod environs – think lime-green walls, purple lightbulbs and starched white tablecloths. The menu features lots of sandwiches and salads, along with mac ’n’ cheese and Frito pie bowls.
