Thank you to Smothered Brunch for sponsoring this guide!
Smothered Brunch
Smothered is a true Albuquerque experience, serving everything we love about a New Mexico morning, starting with rich and flavorful red chile that is absolutely unforgettable. Their savory menu features favorites like a bacon flight, hearty omelets, and smash bowls loaded with potatoes, eggs, and toppings. If you are craving something sweet, their fluffy pancakes and waffles never disappoint. And if you cannot decide, the chicken and waffles is a must. My son swears by it.
Pair your meal with one of their standout brunch cocktails such as a Bloody Mary, bellini, or mimosa, or choose from their creative selection of mocktails. With a gorgeous outdoor patio for warm Albuquerque days and a welcoming atmosphere that is perfect for family time or meeting up with mom friends, Smothered Brunch is a place you will want to visit again and again.

So get your cute outfits (or comfies, who’s judging?) and grab your people. Here’s our guide to more amazing places to brunch in Albuquerque.
The Grove
This locally owned and operated gem in EDo is one of the cutest places in town. (Flavored mimosas for the win!) The Grove offers indoor and outdoor dining, as well as the cutest shop of unique goods inside. (Try a bottle of their homemade fancy sauce.) An Albuquerque favorite for sure.
Writer’s Pick: Croque Madame
600 Central Ave SE Suite A, 87102

Campo at Los Poblanos
Albuquerque’s own little “Silos.” Los Poblanos does not just offer killer food but amazing views, an on-site farm, and their world famous lavender. (Don’t be surprised if you see lavender on the menu.) You will not regret ordering a Bellini. Stay the night in one of their luxurious rooms and make an overnight experience out of it.
Writer’s Pick: Monte Cristo

Slate Street Cafe
Another locally owned Albuquerque gem. This restaurant is tucked away in a neighborhood setting, right in the middle of downtown ABQ. They offer a quaint little patio and made-from-scratch “comfort foods with a twist.” A great place to spend some time with your best girlfriends.

Meraki
Mouthwatering pastries, delicious drinks, yummy mains and an adorable atmosphere make Meraki the epitome of a perfect brunch place. Don’t pass up a pastry. They’re made in-house and are positively drool-worthy.
