Mariposa

Don’t leave Sedona without having lunch or an early dinner on their patio. Amazing views, excellent Latin inspired food. +1 (928) 862-4444.

Pump House Cafe

Our favorite for breakfast and brunch. Very nice, modern vibe, patio set amongst grand old sycamores, fantastic coffees. +1 (928) 862-4141.

We love their wood fired pizzas, gelato and their “Killer Kale” salad and their gelato. +1 (928) 282-5472.

Shorebird

Very good, modern menu and contemporary setting, great chef, we love the Chilean Sea Bass and Hamachi Crudo. +1 (928) 203-5465.

Dahl & Di Luca

We love this place when we want to have a romantic more upscale Italian dining experience. +1 (928) 282-5219.

Enchantment Resort

There are two restaurants but our favorite is Che Ah Chi, a very chic dining experience right up against the red rocks. +1 (928) 282-2900.

The Vault Uptown

We really enjoy sitting on their patio, great evening views, good cocktails, informal but fun atmosphere and a good menu. +1 (928) 203-5462.

Our most favorite coffee shop in Sedona. It’s where the locals and visitors converge. Freeform roast their own coffee. The coffee shop has a great energy, wonderful selection of drinks (teas, coffees and other beverages), open 7 days a week (our only complaint is that they close at 2pm!!)

Wildcraft Kitchen

We love the intentionality of their curated breakfast and lunch menu and their excellent smoothies & juice. If you are looking for a high-quality, healthy menu, this is the place for lunch or breakfast. The Chef believes that good nutrition and great flavors can be combined and does an excellent job in proving it to be so.

Fresh & Natural Thai Kitchen

Right across from Wholefood, informal dining with nice outdoor seating, organic, healthy dishes, we love their Thai Bowls. +1 (928) 862-4499.

Elote Cafe

Fantastic modern Southwestern and Mexican cuisine. +1 (928) 203-0105.

Cucina Rustica

Although it’s a bit of a drive (15 minutes to the Village of Oak Creek) it’s a great menu, a little more formal, Mediterranean style. Nice wine list. We always request to sit outside on the patio, by the fireplace (ideally!)

Up the Creek Bistro & Wine Bar

Although a little further out on Page Springs (where there are also wineries to explore) this is worth a mention. Pretty rustic when you walk in but the menu is surprisingly good, the food very well prepared (plus a nice wine list.) +1 (928) 634-9954.

Cress at L'Auberge

If you are looking for something very upscale we would highly recommend Cress at L’Auberge which has an exquisite menu, wine list and service and in the warmer weather you can dine by the creek. +1 (928) 282-1661.

Vespa

Very close-by: 1.2 miles (next to Whole Foods, Vespa, Italian Cafe is a quick service restaurant known for their health conscious menu, particularly their pizzas made from this historic “La Pinsa Romana”(Roman flatbread) which is low in gluten, carbs and very easy to digest. They also make the best cappuccino’s and espressos in town!

Costa by Madrid

We love their modern take on Latin cuisine and their well-made cocktails. This is a lovely, upscale and intimate experience which we feel is perfect for a romantic dinner or celebration. As the restaurant is small we highly recommend reserving in advance.

Broome & Orchard

One of the newest restaurant additions in Sedona, Broome & Orchard is a restaurant with fabulous views! Located uptown, it is modern, very comfortable with a wide-ranging quality menu and an excellent cocktail/mocktail menu. We would recommend this as a more casual dining experience, the restaurant is quite large so you probably don’t need to book however during busy weekends and holidays we would recommend making a reservation.

Dine-In

If you want to relax, dine in and enjoy the views, you will find the Whole Foods just 1.2 miles away and Safeway a little further on Highway 89A.

FLAGSTAFF Atria

Hands down our favorite restaurant in Flagstaff. Exceptional chef, seasonal ingredients, top notch menu, beautiful ambiance. +1 (928) 440-4377.

Tinderbox Kitchen

This is one of our favorite places for dinner when we go to Flagstaff, a contemporary, intimate interior, well-prepared and interesting modern cuisine, nice wine and cocktails list. +1 (928) 226-8400.

Proper Meats & Provisions

This is a great place mostly known by locals, to stop for lunch. It’s in downtown, they have great sandwiches, by far the best Reuben Sandwich we have ever had (and we have tried many!) +1 (928) 774-9001.

Old Town Cottonwood

Pizzeria Bocce

When you are visiting old town Cottonwood, we would recommend making a stop at Pizzeria Bocce. They have authentic woodfired pizzas, really good salads, a bocce ball court and nice outdoor dining, including space around their large fire pit. +1 (928) 202-3597.
