Moab and Southeastern Utah Restaurants

Including even a few surprising twists, Moab-area restaurants have pretty much anything you might be craving. The other smaller towns in southeastern Utah don’t have quite the culinary kaleidoscope and focus mostly on all-American, meat-centered meals. Though not the best destination for vegetarians or those watching their weight, the comfort food can be quite good and satisfying. One thing is for sure: no matter what restaurant you choose, you won’t have to worry about a dress code. Shorts or jeans and sandals are always acceptable.

  • 1. Desert Bistro

    $$$$ | Modern American

    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 best restaurants in the area, this eclectic spot is housed in a false-fronted wooden building that looks straight of an old cowboy movie. The menu includes burgers, sandwiches, pastas, and salads—often with creative flares and fun names. Eat inside or out, and be sure to check the local art displayed.

  • 3. Jailhouse Café

    $

    A local institution for decades, this downtown spot only does breakfast from 7 to noon—and does it famously well. Expect all your morning favorites, plus a few surprises, served out of a pink 1880s-era home that also once served as the county courthouse (the kitchen was a jail cell). You can read all about the place's history as you dine inside or on its pleasant patio. Especially during busy times of year and weekends, it helps to get here early, as it can draw quite the crowd.

  • 4. Tamarisk Restaurant

    $

    Views of the Green River make this a restorative stop after a long drive. Though the interior has gotten hipper in recent years, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus are filled with the same classic diner favorites the spot has been serving up for decades. The Navajo tacos and green chili burgers are especially decadent and delicious, and there's a long list of beer, wine, and cider to choose from, as well.
