2 Best Restaurants in Patagonia, Southern Arizona

Gathering Grounds

$

This colorful café and espresso bar, which also doubles as an art gallery featuring local artists, serves healthful breakfasts and soups, salads, and sandwiches through the late afternoon. Vegetarian options, like vegan burritos and spinach pesto wraps, are plentiful. Beverages include organic fair-trade coffees; ice cream, cakes, and cookies draw the local younger set.

Velvet Elvis Pizza Company

$$

There aren't too many places where you can enjoy a pizza heaped with organic veggies; a crisp salad of organic greens tossed with homemade dressing; freshly pressed juice (try the beet-, apple-, and lime-juice concoction); and creative cocktails while surrounded by images of Elvis and the Virgin Mary. The owner uses a 1930s dough recipe for the pizza's delightful whole wheat crust; a gluten-free, almond-based pizza crust and bountiful salads entice those who may seek a low-carb alternative.
