Restaurants and grocery stores are few and far between in this region, except in the more significant towns with separate articles (notably Santa Fe, one of the country's great centers for dining); see also the article on the Sangre de Cristo Mountains for a few other options. Two restaurants that don't fit neatly into a major town but are worth a stop are:
Embudo Station, off NM SR 68 north of Española, phone 505-852-4707. New Mexican fare with a brew pub, in a beautiful setting along the Rio Grande; lunch and dinner Tuesday-Sunday, April through October. This well-regarded property is reportedly for sale, so stay tuned for updates.
Cafe Abiquiu, outside the tiny town of Abiquiu on US 84; phone 505-685-4378. An entertainingly eclectic menu with Southwestern and Mediterranean(!) dishes featured. Open three meals a day. At the rustic little Abiquiu Inn, a good place to spend a quiet night far out in the boonies near Georgia O'Keeffe's "Ghost Ranch" ranch-estate; both restaurant and motel are much more comfortable than you'd expect.
