After 25 years of chasing great meals in stunning places, Sedona still stands out for me. You might come for the red rocks—and you should—but I always tell people: come hungry, too. I’ve tasted my way through this town, and whether you’re craving fresh, Southwest-inspired dishes or just want a great burger with a view, Sedona delivers.

I’ve sipped prickly pear margaritas under the stars, found the flakiest croissants tucked inside cozy cafés, and watched the sun dip behind the buttes over plates of mesquite-grilled trout. If you’re like me, you’ll love how Sedona’s restaurants blend bold flavors with breathtaking scenery. And if you don’t know where to start, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered.
