2 Best Restaurants in Moab and Southeastern Utah, Utah

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. 

Learning into the area's Wild West past, this casual spot has cowboy hats and cow skulls on the walls, a cardboard cutout of John Wayne—and some of the best smoked meats around. It offers Southwestern takes on breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all in generous portions, and even has a bar to hang out in after a long day of driving or river rafting.
