“We are as passionate about serving delicious, high-quality food as we are about awesome hospitality and service. We absolutely love that Albuquerque equates us with fun, bustling brunch vibes and a place where people want to bring their friends and families.”

Avocado toast; poached eggs with prosciutto, asparagus, and Parmesan; farmers salad with organic vegetables, local goat cheese, marcona almonds, and house lemon basil dressing.

Eggs and mimosas might not seem revolutionary, but when the Grove opened in 2006, they were the only local food game in town. “Farm to table was not a thing in Albuquerque“, says owner Lauren Greene. It took years for Greene and her husband, chef Jason Greene, to cultivate relationships with local farmers. But now they work with dozens, serving free-range, organic eggs, New Mexico-raised beef, sustainably caught fish, and local produce.

Order the Grove’s riff on New Mexico’s ubiquitous breakfast burrito (laced with house-made green chile sauce) and a fresh-squeezed mimosa to do brunch the Albuquerque way. Plus, make time to try the awesome beverage list and cult-followed English muffins.
