Albuquerque is known for many things, including great weather and an exceptional restaurant scene. Spring is one of our real estate agents' favorite seasons to experience both. With the days getting longer and the weather getting warmer every day, this is a perfect time of year to enjoy dinner outdoors at one of these great Albuquerque restaurants.

This upscale, rustic-chic spot actually grows many of the ingredients right here on its onsite farm, and that freshness is apparent in every dish. Located a stone's throw from many Albuquerque homes for sale, Farm & Table also has some of the most spectacular outdoor patio dining around, with string lights draped from a spacious pergola for a romantic ambiance.
