Up in Taos Ski Valley, there is an array of restaurants to help fill you up after a day of outdoor winter sports. Enjoy local cuisine, American fusion, or European influence. 

VIEW ALL TAOS SKI VALLEY RESTAURANTS

Head into town where there are many delicious options. Ask a local on the lift which is their favorite spot to get your stomach growling in anticipation. New Mexican cuisine is one-of-a-kind, and you should not miss out on being asked “Red or Green?”
