Antiquities Restaurant in Old Town Albuquerque

We have visited this wonderful restaurant many times over the years. It is located just off the square in old town Albuquerque. If you take the south street off the south west corner of the square you will in about half a block find this wonderful restaurant. It is small and reservations are strongly recommended. There is a parking lot a bit further south about a half block away.

This restaurant does steaks very well and always to what you have ordered. My favorite is a fillet Mignon with a Bearnaise sauce to thoroughly enrich your life. Salads are excellent and other dishes are wonderful too. It is fun to walk about old town square either before or after dinner and check out the shops that primarily are there for the tourist. When HW2 looks at this blog she will add her comments about this restaurant.

Indeed, this place is a treasure! Our biggest decision when eating there is whether to choose the Henri IV filets or the Chateaubriand for two. When we order the later, we have the ends cooked medium for 1HW, so that HW2 gets the medium-rare center. That works perfectly. Their puff pastry enclosed salmon is also a delicious treat! Antiquities is quite intimate, and the service is never rushed. It is the kind of place to enjoy an enjoyable evening of gourmet food and rich conversation. Bon appetit!
