Taos Dining - The Finest Restaurants, Eateries, Pubs in Taos

You'll find Bavarian hospitality at its warmest in our acclaimed restaurant, where a wait staff clad in lederhosen and dirndls dispenses German specialties in an ambience of pure Gemütlichkeit. Wooden beams and log construction underscore the lodge atmosphere, while an authentic Kachelofen, a Bavarian tile stove, envelops the room with its gentle warmth. Their sunny deck is equipped with warming lamps that let guests enjoy outdoor dining in all but the most inclement of weather.

The Bavarian's gourmet menu features refined German dishes that are hearty but never heavy, a perfect way to enjoy a midday respite or replenish your strength after an active day on the ski slopes or the hiking trails. Choose among such offerings as Sauerbraten, Wienerschnitzel, or Käsespätzle, accompanied by a selection from their fine wine list or one of their specially imported beers from the Spaten Brewery in Munich. The Bavarian also features a full bar. For those who prefer a more American meal, we offer salads, sandwiches, and burgers.

Caffe Tazza is the oldest coffeehouse in Taos with a very interesting Bohemian feel. Many a musician, drummer, comedian, or actor has appeared at the cafe. This cozy three-room cafe, with a summer patio, attracts local community groups, artists, performers, and poets. Plays, films, comedy, and musical performances are given here on weekends (and some weeknights in summer). You can read one of the assorted periodicals available (including the New York Times) while sipping a cappuccino or cafe Mexicano (espresso with steamed milk and Mexican chocolate), made from organic coffee beans. The food -- soups and sandwiches -- is quite good. Pastries, which are imported from many bakeries around the region, are almost as big a draw here as the Taos Cow ice cream. Choose from 15 flavors.

The Bean occupies both the north side and the south side of the Taos restaurant scene. Organic Uganda “Bugisu”      Situated in the Great Lakes region of central Africa at the headwaters of the Nile. Bugisu, from the western slopes of Mt. Elgon on the Kenya border. Typically winy, fruit toned African coffee.

Tanzania Peaberry “Rumvia”     Owing to tradition, most Tanzanian coffee sold in the United States is peaberry, a grade made up entirely of coffees from fruit that produces a single, rounded bean rather than twin flat-sided beans. Most Tanzanian coffees share the characteristically sharp, winy acidity typical of African and Arabian coffees. They tend to medium to full bodied and fairly rich in flavor.
