If you’re looking for a low-key neighborhood spot near Downtown, book a reservation at Wolf in the Woods. This tiny restaurant has tons of intimate nooks with Southwestern touches, including dried chiles hanging from the ceiling and Indigenous-printed textiles. Their tight menu offers lighter dishes with a New Mexican twist, like a hatch chili-spiced sweet corn soup and chilled octopus with harissa. It's also got an impressive wine and cocktail list of refreshing spritzers and lesser-known varietals like Spanish verdejo. Plus, there’s a sidewalk dining area outside that feels very European (and not like the desert at all).
