    | Albuquerque Restaurants near Guild Cinema Albuquerque - Nob HillBesides the late-night menus (the kitchen stays open until 11 p.m., but food isn’t the strength here) and 20-odd house-brewed beers (the Best Beer Selection, according to 2007’s BoB Restaurants poll), Kelly's has an enormous, dog-friendly patio that somehow manages to be packed to the elbows, lively and laid-back all at the same time. Snag a spot by the rails for the best people-watching in Nob Hill. Get the sweet potato fries. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)  Korean BBQ House and Sushi & SakeMon- Thu 11:30 am-9:30pm
Fri-Sat 11:30am-10pm

Closed Daily 2:30pm-4:30pm (hours can change without notice) Full review: There are rules to this game (2/1/2007)
Sit out on the pretty patio, and your server will help you cook your dinner on the built-in grills. They’ll also show you how to wrap your spicy grilled meat or seafood in herb and lettuce leaves. For a full course of fine lunchtime cuisine, try the tofu kimchi appetizer, ginger tea and spicy chicken box plate. Nothing in Nob Hill goes down better. Go big on the appetizer list for the taste, but if you're cutting costs, the box plate menu offers more than enough chow for a starving midday appetite. And it's worth every penny. Also, Nob Hill’s newest sushi bar (behind Korean BBQ House) offers all-you-can-eat sushi for $18 at lunch and $23 at dinner. Ordering á la carte is always allowed, but if you’re going for the all-you-can-eat, you’ve got two pages full of options and an hour in which to explore them. Edamame, tempura, miso soup, rolls, hand rolls and a small selection of nigiri are all fair game. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) The phrase “grocery café” typically conjures visions of orangey heat lamp chicken and Chinese food that’s been marinating in a pool of grease since the Yang Dynasty. Fortunately for us, La Montañita Co-op is not your typical grocery store. Specializing in local, organic and otherwise natural food products, the deli is no exception and doesn’t disappoint in taste or selection. The deli folks will make a hearty sandwich to your liking—or pick up a quick pint of one of the tasty hot or cold spreads and salads. For a delicious vegan dessert, stick with the chocolate Amazon cake, layered with luscious, fudge frosting.

 Limonata Italian Street Food CaffeTue-Fri 7am-5pm
Sat 9 am- 5pm (hours can change without notice) Full review: Limonata Italian Street Food Caffe (12/6/2012)
This sunny café occupies the sweet spot in The Village at Silver and Wellesley vacated by Café Giuseppe. Giuseppe regulars will be happy to know Limonata still offers killer espresso, now paired with a large array of mouth-slavering Italian treats. Try the prosciutto panino, the antipasto platter for two, or stock up on authentic Italian groceries in the market. (Alibi Staff, December 10, 2012)  Loving VeganSun-Thu 11 am - 9:30 pm

The sushi chef at Loving Vegan rolls sushi expertly, and if you squint your eyes, the fake shrimp, scallops, salmon and squid look exactly like “normal” sushi. They’re also pretty delicious. Try the bento box with miso soup, small salads (cucumber-seaweed and green leaves in a gingery dressing) and pan-fried spinach gyoza. We recommend the grilled portobello bento with vegetables, accompanied with thin, tender-crisp asparagus and a fat ring of onion, on pleasantly glutinous, lightly seasoned brown rice. (Alibi Staff, October 4, 2012) Lucky Boy RestaurantMo to Fr from 11:00am to 07:45pm,Sa from 11:00am to 03:45pm (hours can change without notice)
Mannies is a little neighborhood diner that’s actually quite big. You’re sure to see someone you know if you eat at Mannies for breakfast on the weekend. People go for the pancakes, the homemade muffins, the French toast and, of course, to see and be seen. Mannies has a marvelous BLT with thick slabs of bacon, a nest of shredded lettuce and a generous slathering of mayo. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Model PharmacyMon-Fri: 9:30am-5:30pm

There are more members of AARP than UNM students at this University-area lunch counter, but it has nothing to do with the food. There are also more women than men filling the tables, though that’s understandable. After all, half of the building is dedicated to fancy soaps, hairbrushes, jewelry and perfumes. But this pharmacy (which doesn’t take insurance and therefore fills few prescriptions) is full of mysterious contrasts and pleasant surprises. The mostly sandwich menu is far above par, with real roasted turkey breast and house-made brisket, and Model has the Best Soda Fountain in Albuquerque, according to our readers.

With sometimes too-loud live music and a party-hard crowd, it’s usually best to avoid this place on the weekends. But stop in for a late lunch or weeknight burger and a beer, and you’ll get a different experience. The beef here is grass-fed, New Mexico-grown, and steroid- and antibiotic-free, and the cooks at Monte Vista deserve praise for what they do with it. The freshly ground burgers are juicy and big, the steak frites hit the spot, and the beef skewers are tender and one of the best deals on cow in town. And if you do brave the weekend crowd, you’ll be rewarded by bowls of mussels served with your choice of several sauces, including coconut curry, Mexican and classic French. Served with a grilled baguette to soak up a small sea of broth, it’s a great way to fill a belly for $10. (Alibi Staff, December 23, 2010)  Nob Hill Bar & GrillTues-Thurs: 11am-10pm

If you like your comfort food with a gourmet twist, it’s here. Nob Hill Bar and Grill boasts meatloaf (crowned with smoked bacon) and burgers (American kobe). Signature cocktails, a few vegetarian entrées, and a comfy but chic atmosphere make Nob Hill Bar and Grill a solid addition to the neighborhood.

Sunday 8am to 1pm (hours can change without notice) Full review: Nosh brings Jewish food to Burque (11/21/2013)
Jewish cuisine comes to Nob Hill in the form of Nosh, a friendly deli style café where the lox is lush, the cream cheese is tangy and the owner calls you “hon.” You’ll walk out smelling like knish, but it’s worth it for a crack at Albuquerque’s most delicious and authentic latkes. (Alibi Staff, November 21, 2013) Vegan foodies rejoice! Another Asian eatery has opened with a mission to cater to your needs, and this one features all-you-can-eat vegan sushi. Try the lucky roll, or the salmon crunch roll, or a bento box and munch, munch, munch to your veggie heart’s content. (Alibi Staff, May 21, 2014) The process used to create Olo’s vibrant flavors guarantees live, active cultures in the product. There are 10 flavors available on tap at any given time, every one richly flavorful. (You can find this week’s list of flavors on Olo's website.) Follow the signs and take a cup to the stainless steel taps. Once you have your yogurt(s) in a cup, there are more than 45 toppings to crown your dish. Finish it off with a swirl of whipped cream and weigh in at the register. At less than 50 cents an ounce (and prices drop during cold weather), you can customize a treat that satisfies your palate and your pocketbook.

Thu- Sat: 5:30- 10 pm (hours can change without notice)
P’tit Louis’ new Nob Hill digs is a collaboration between Christopher Descarpentries, John Phinizy and Tom White of Il Vicino and Two Fools Tavern. Descarpentries has a knack for building Paris from scratch. The restaurant on Gold transports you to Paris of the ’20s. P’tit Louis on Silver resembles bistro along the outskirts of Paris. The menu welcomes diners to many of the downtown bistro’s popular dishes but there are some new choices as well. Descarpentries will continue the practice of daily specials. Nob Hill diners will have the added pleasure of dinner hours Thursday through Saturday and, when weather permits, alfresco dining on the patio. Special private seatings are still available on other evenings. (Alibi Staff, September 29, 2011) Ragin' ShrimpMonday: Closed

Cajun-style shrimp with an emphasis on spicy, although Jamaican and Indian sauces have been added to the offerings. The menu also includes sandwiches, salads and Cajun specialties like pan-fried gator, jambalaya and gumbo. (Alibi Staff, October 9, 2013) Route 66 Malt ShopMonday: 11 am- 8 pm

Satellite serves up coffee (the Best Coffee, according to Best of Burque Restaurants polls) and tea, as well as burritos, sandwiches and pastries. This is a good choice if you’re hungry late (it’s open until at least 10:30 p.m. most nights) or need a quick gift for your beverage-loving friends: We recommend the too-cute travel mugs.

The surprising thing about Scalo is that it’s simultaneously more pleasant and less expensive than you’d think. It’s just as breezy and classy as ever in its high-ceilinged dining room, while the patio will have a nice, long season of pleasant weather. Now serving brunch on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and there’s plenty of fresh-pressed espresso to sip with it.
