Sat 7:30am-4pm
Sun 9am-3pm (hours can change without notice)
The dining patio at A & B’s Lunchbox is a perfect way to enjoy the generously sunny weather Albuquerque brings year-round. While the menu is quaint, the breakfast burritos, sandwiches, paninis and gluten free options make for a satisfying and affordable lunch break. Try the carne adovada panini and soak up the sun at this EDo shop. (Alibi Staff, December 17, 2014) El Bruno's Restaurante y CantinaMonday-Wednesday 11 am -9 pm

New Mexican food in the Garduño’s vein—plus burgers and booze—in a bucolic valley setting. In fact, El Bruno’s does indeed occupy the site (and, one might assume, the demographic) of the former North Valley Garduño’s.

Albuquerque - Corrales
There’s plenty of vegetable-based and vegetarian choices—golden lentil soup is a standout, and don’t pass on the paneer dishes. For meat eaters, the goat curry (made with local, kosher meat) is as decadent as any dish you’ll find anywhere, served in a brown gravy that’s full of disintegrated potatoes and the occasional green fleck of fresh herbs. Mmmm ... goat gravy. (Alibi Staff, June 21, 2012)
Satellite serves up not only coffee but also burritos, quiches, desserts and pastries. This is a good choice if you’re hungry late. It’s open until at least 10:00 p.m. most nights. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Albuquerque - Downtown AmerAsia & Sumo SushiDim Sum Mon-Sat 11am-2pm
Dim Sum Fri 5:30-8:30pm

Sushi Mon-Sat 5:00-9:30pm (hours can change without notice) Full review: You say Confucius, I say Zen (3/10/2011)
Dim sum and sushi under the same roof? It's like a dream come true. The beautiful interior of the antique filling station just east of the federal courthouse is a marked change from the cozy home interior of where AmerAsia used to reside near the University. Hyangami Yi's food is just as good as ever. Expect her familiar dim sum plates and buns, and feel free to order sushi like you've never had in this town from her brother Woo Youn. He's got all the usual sashimi and nigiri in his adjoining restaurant, but it's the original, creative rolls that really set Sumo apart—that, and the adorable little train that ferries your pickled ginger around the sushi bar. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)  Barelas Coffee HouseMon-Fri 7:30am-3pm
Sat 7:30am-2:30pm
Closed Sunday (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: New Mexican
You’d better get to Barelas early on Saturday morning if you don’t want to wait in line for a table. This homey New Mexican joint is popular, and though it’s much bigger inside than you can tell from the street, regulars pack the place tighter than a tamale. Barelas is known for huevos rancheros, and they are tasty here, slathered in particularly good red chile and served on a fresh flour tortilla. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) No indoor seating. Take-out or outdoor seating only. (Alibi Staff, June 16, 2011)  Café LushMon-Fri 7am-3pm

Closed Sunday (hours can change without notice) Read more: Locovore: Café Lush for life (11/10/2011)
Café Lush is like a daydream of the way things might be in some future hybrid of Europe and Albuquerque. It’s an urban café on a quiet street corner, with a small menu of simple yet well-crafted dishes and a pledge to use local, seasonal and organic ingredients whenever possible. But unlike in Europe, the red and green chile won’t disappoint. (Alibi Staff, November 17, 2011) In addition to the standard restaurant seating at the Hotel Andaluz, patrons can reserve the courtyard Casbahs for an ecclectic dining experience. (Alibi Staff, December 17, 2014) Chicharroneria OrozcoMon-Thu 7 am - 8 pm
Fri-Sat 7 am - 9 pm
Sun 8 am - 3 pm (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: Mexican
This cute, Italian-styled café is tucked between Gold Street Caffé and Café Miche in one of Downtown’s most desirable dining districts. The rest of the place follows suit with bello hand-pressed espresso (tea, too), panini and other Euro-centric treats. (Alibi Staff, July 12, 2011) Gold Street CaffèMon 7 am-4 pm.
Tue-Sat 7 am-9 pm
Sun 7 am-4 pm (hours can change without notice)
Gold Street was cool before Downtown was cool, but now that Downtown is cool, Gold Street is even cooler. Open for breakfast and lunch (and now dinner service on the weekends!), this charming café has pet-friendly sidewalk seating and serves up a menu of homey breakfast favorites like waffles and sophisticated lunches. It shouldn’t surprise you that the place with the Best Bacon in our restaurant poll also makes a memorable BLT. If you’re really lucky, they’ll have freshly baked cupcakes or a slice of flourless chocolate cake waiting for dessert. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)  The Grove Café & MarketTues-Sat: 7am-4pm
Sun: 8am-3pm
Closed Monday (hours can change without notice) $$$ • Vegetarian Available • Booze Served • Wine Bar • Catering • Outdoor Patio • Wireless Internet • Dog-Friendly Full review: Twenty more years (9/21/2006)
This ray of sunshine in Huning Highland serves gourmet breakfast and lunch, sells house-made English muffins, and has a mini-shop filled with goodies like honey, jams, mustards and vinegars, not to mention non-edibles like cook books, serving vessels and cards. A tiny wine list is just as chic—five reds and five whites are marked on a chalkboard, and all are constantly changing. This list is extremely well thought-out and offers a sampling of some of the most esoteric varietals and brands available in Albuquerque. There’s also a large, shaded patio, incredible house-made cupcakes and too-cute French macarons. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)  Hartford SquareMon -Fri: 6:30 am- 5 pm Take out until 6:30 pm

Their menu changes weekly, but Hartford Square always features high quality, locally-sourced food with both eat-in and take-out options. Salads are well stocked with fresh, seasonal ingredients and there are always a few hot options like Canadian salmon or ratatouille pot pie. If you’re early enough, you’ll get first crack at the crossword in the house copy of the New York Times. (Alibi Staff, September 12, 2013) This rooftop bar, the flirty sister of the fancier (and pricier) Lucia, offers a breezy patio, a menu of small plates and specialty cocktails for the Los Angeles-inclined Downtown crowd. The food is hit or miss, but the house-created cocktails—like the spicy-yet-refreshing cucumber-jalapeño margarita—make it well worth a visit.
