Here are some questions worth considering, to make your decision in the colorful bazaar of Sedona´s eateries just a little easier:
BREAKFAST, LUNCH OR DINNER?
Depending on what time of day your tummy starts to growl, your choices narrow – albeit just a little bit! Most early bird places like Cafe Jose or the Coffeepot Restaurant, with its world famous 101 Omelets, serve breakfast until 11 am. For lunch, many visitors consider one of the town´s excellent sandwich cafes like Sedona Memories, the Wildflower Bakery or the Secret Garden. That´s because dinner, usually starting at five offers such a rich palette of fine dining that you will want to be at least a little hungry! But late eaters be aware: Sedona´s kitchens typically close around 9 pm.
FRENCH OR ITALIAN, SOUTHWESTERN OR MEXICAN?
What are your taste buds longing for today? The choices truly aren´t few, but it helps if you can narrow it down to a region. Sedona´s restaurant scene offers delicious delights from the Greek, French, Italian, Mexican, Thai, Japanese, Chinese and countless other cuisines, it taunts the more adventurous with Southwestern style rattlesnake and surprised the seasoned Mexican food lover with the best Taco de Mole in Arizona.
SPLURGE OR SAVE?
Many of the fine dining restaurants in Sedona are a bit on the pricey side, even though the food is worth every penny. But if you are among the budget travelers, do not despair - Sedona has much fine food at economy pricing to offer!
FOOD … WITH A VIEW!
Yes, even that may be a consideration for choosing your restaurant or cafe – the views! Some of the best are offered by the Wildflower bakery, L´Auberge de Sedona, the Yavapai restaurant at Enchantment resort and the Olde Sedona bar´s upper outside deck. Just make sure you get there before sunset!
Bon appetit – and one more thing: Don´t forget to top it all off with a prickly pear margarita. It´s Sedona´ signature drink made from the deliriously sweet fruit of the local cactus!
