  | Albuquerque Restaurants with Outdoor Patio AlbuquerqueA & B’s LunchboxMon-Fri 7am-4pm
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) The nickel slots are bright, noisy: Bien Shur is subdued, quiet, tasteful. The dining room is classy and beautiful but still comfortable, leaving diners to contemplate the wonderful contemporary cuisine and stunning views of the city and Sandia mountains. After your meal, you can head back downstairs into the casino scuffle for some live jazz in the Tlur P’a Lounge and a hand of video poker. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) A New Mexico tradition since 1952! For a quick, award-winning (for both Best Burger and Best French Fries) burger or chili dog, fresh fries and fountain favorites that hit the spot for just a pocketful of change, it’s got to be Blake’s. Countless counters are scattered throughout the city, and each is a model of efficiency and cleanliness. Why look any further? They’re easy to spot from afar—just keep an eye out for the giant Asian Uncle Sam sign. This one even has a drive-through. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) A New Mexico tradition since 1952!

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. (Alibi Staff, April 10, 2013) Ellie's Yoberri ParkNoon-9:30 pm every day (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: Ice Cream/Smoothies/Gelato/Fro-Yo
Guava Tree CafeMon-Fri: 9 am-4 pm / Sat-Sun: 11 am-3 pm (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: Caribbean/Cuban, Coffee/Tea/Espresso, Cuban, Deli/Sandwiches, Dessert, Ice Cream/Smoothies, South American
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-Fri 11am-2pm, Sat 12-2pm
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)  Blackbird BuvetteMon-Fri: 11am-2am
Sat: noon-2am
Sun: noon-midnight (hours can change without notice) $$ • Booze Served • Full Bar • Craft Beer • NM Beer • Live Music • DJ • Karaoke • Dancing • Outdoor Patio • Wireless Internet • Dog-Friendly
The old home of Pearl's Dive has a new lease on life. Brainchild of local band The Dirty Novels, the Blackbird has been appropriately rock ’n’ rolled with excellent music, black-clad waitresses and a cool look. There are an impressive number of draft and bottled beers, and a few nice wines by the glass, which are fan-freaking-tastic on the back patio. By the way, "buvette" (boo-vet) is a loose French translation for "refreshment bar." Now you’re really in the know. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) No indoor seating. Take-out or outdoor seating only. (Alibi Staff, June 16, 2011)  Café LushMon-Fri 7am-3pm
Sat 8am-1pm
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.
