2 Best Restaurants in Moab and Southeastern Utah, Utah

Moab's finest dining experience is found in a small adobe house just off Main Street. Whether you eat inside or on either of the peaceful patios, anticipate thoughtful flavor combinations in artful salads, locally sourced beef, and delicious vegetables. The handmade agnolotti pasta stuffed with mushrooms and Italian cheeses, and the beef fillet crusted with gorgonzola are both impressive. Dylan, a longtime chef here, recently purchased the bistro with his wife, Leslie, and they've maintained all the charm and dishes that diners have been raving about for years. The menu changes seasonally, but you can count on creative pastas, sweet and savory salad combinations, and surprise ingredients from kiwi to quinoa any time of year.

One of the jewels of the local culinary scene, this elegant restaurant serves adventurous cuisine with a Southwestern flair, all in a historic brick building in downtown Moab. The menu shifts with the seasons but always includes a good selection of game and fish, including elk and Chilean seabass. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and the in-house baker creates a delectable, constantly changing dessert menu. There's also a full bar and patio, which is especially pleasant on warm evenings after the sun has gone down.
