For some, it's easy to forget that the southwest is a culinary hotspot. However, those in the know understand that Albuquerque is a great place to enjoy a nice meal out, especially if you're fond of fine dining. Here are a few of our favorite restaurants for a unique fine dining experience near our apartments in Albuquerque, NM.

Vintage 423

Located just around the corner from Olympus Encantada, you'll find Vintage 423, a club-like fine dining eatery that serves steak, seafood, pasta, and more featuring bold flavors, local ingredients, and fresh takes on old classics. Everything is made from scratch and often sourced from local farms, allowing patrons to indulge in the vibrant flavors of New Mexico on every visit.

St. James Tearoom

If perhaps, your idea of a fine meal out is less an evening of steak and more an afternoon of petit fours, then you'll be pleasantly charmed by St. James Tearoom. This establishment specializes in traditional British afternoon tea service, including all the flair (and scrumptious little morsels) that come with it. Tea menus feature multiple courses and are themed to suit an array of tastes, with gluten-free options available for those who need them.

Savoy Bar & Grill

For a California-style fine dining experience, Savoy Bar & Grill is the place to reserve a table. Customers boast that the prices are extremely reasonable for the high-end fare offered at this establishment, which also offers wine pairings and locally-inflected seasonal offerings. As with many of the fine dining establishments in Albuquerque, Savoy sources most of its ingredients locally to capitalize on the bounty that New Mexico has to offer.
