Hey there, fellow foodies and Sedona enthusiasts! If you’re planning a visit to this amazing town and are looking for some delicious dining suggestions, you’re in for a treat. We’ve rounded up our absolute favorite Sedona restaurants sure to satisfy all your cravings and make your taste buds do a happy dance. So, let’s dive right in!
First up, we have Mesa Grill Sedona – the perfect destination for breakfast after a scenic morning hike around Airport Loop. We love the casual, hassle-free vibe of the restaurant as well as the constant entertainment of airplanes taking off and landing from the dining room windows. We give high marks to Chef Mercer’s mouthwatering culinary creations including the lemon-ricotta French toast, the flavorful breakfast tacos, and the not-to-be-missed French press coffee.
Craving something healthy and refreshing? Look no further than Local Juicery Sedona. This place is a utopian dream come true for all the health-conscious folks visiting Sedona. From scrumptious smoothies and fresh juices bursting with nutrients to delicious whole-food filled bowls that will leave you feeling energized all day long, Local Juicery has you covered. It’s like giving your body a big, juicy hug!
Next up, we have Layla’s Bakery Cafe – a West Sedona cafe where food is baked with love. John’s mom and stepdad got us hooked on Layla’s kouign-amanns (try saying that three times fast!), a melt-in-your-mouth pastry that transported us straight to France with every bite. One morning, when they were out of our favorite pastry, we reluctantly tried their world-renowned cinnamon rolls. Wow! All we can say is that they were mind-blowingly delicious. Talk about a happy accident!
Looking for something delicious that won’t break the bank? Look no further than Tortas de Fuego on 89A in West Sedona. This hidden gem serves up some seriously delicious Mexican food that won’t burn a hole in your pocket! We love the friendly service, casual booth dining, and homemade salsa bar. You’ll get to taste authentic flavors without breaking the bank. It’s a win-win situation, my friend.
Our pick for Happy Hour in Sedona? Javelina Cantina features a large bar area with a lively atmosphere and Happy Hour specials from 3-6 pm daily. Arrive early to grab a table. We can’t get enough of the top shelf margaritas, the “caliente” fajitas, the Mexican street corn, and the restaurant’s use of creme fraiche instead of sour cream. Voted best Mexican Food, best Happy Hour, and best Margaritas by TripAdvisor, Javelina Cantina is a Sedona favorite.
When it comes to combining exceptional cuisine with mind-blowing views, Mariposa Sedona takes the cake. Situated on one of the most gorgeous hills in Sedona, this restaurant offers panoramic vistas of Sedona’s red rocks from almost every table. We recommend securing a reservation ahead of time. Open for lunch and dinner, we can’t decide which we love more—the breathtaking views or the mouthwatering Latin food.
Saving the best for last, we have L’Auberge Cress on Oak Creek – the epitome of a special occasion perfection. If you’re celebrating a milestone or simply looking to spoil yourself, this is the place to be. With its enchanting outdoor setting and award-winning menu, this restaurant sets the stage for an unforgettable culinary experience. We love their perfectly plated dishes and top-notch service. However, it is the creekside dining that put this restaurant at the top of our list.
So, there you have it, folks – our handpicked list of Sedona’s best and finest dining experiences.
Bon appétit and enjoy your food adventures in Sedona!
