Alta Marfa Restaurant & Wine Bar

A quaint, unassuming spot for quiet meals and good conversations. We ordered the tomato, house-toasted crouton and feta salad with torn basil. It was incredibly simple and delicious. The tuna tar tar was perhaps the best I’ve ever had – bright with citrus notes. The smoked salmon in chili oil tinned fish is now a staple on my next charcuterie board. Delightful!

This is one of the best places in Marfa to grab a bite & and a glass (or more) of wine. It’s owned & run by great folks who are cutting an interesting path through the world of natural wine. Have not had a wine or a bite of food that I haven’t enjoyed.

What a wonderful place!!! We walked from our Airbnb in search of good coffee and stepped into the sweetest spot in Marfa. We enjoyed our hot drinks and delicious morning snacks so much we went back the same day for dinner. We couldn’t have been happier. The food is thoughtful and fresh. The people are so warm and welcoming. It was exactly the vibe we were looking for. Intimate and well curated. Hands down the best place we discovered in Marfa. Thank you so much for a memorable visit and we hope to be back next time we venture to West Texas!

Morning they sell coffee, bitter and straight-like Marfa itself. Afternoon it's gone. Then velvet lights. Ground beef ragu waits in a shallow bowl, steaming but not loud, sauce thick enough to sin with. Merlot arrives in a glass, no ceremony, tastes of dust and forgiveness. Menu? Changes before you finish chewing. Three nights a week only. And if you look up-real good-stars punch holes through the roof. You won't forget them. Or that mousse, black as the void, sweet as a lie you want. Five stars. Highly recommend.

A little gem in Marfa, away from the tourist crowds. We loved the beautiful, small, cozy wine bar. We walked in by chance and spontaneously stayed for dinner. The menu was small and there wasn't much choice. But we were blown away by what we got! The chef's creativity was breathtaking and the wine pairing was great. The staff were warm and courteous. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. Any time again!

LOVED the tinned fish dining experience (this has been trending worldwide for several years now). We had never been to a restaurant that actually offered this so it was a happy surprise to eat there. The plates and tinned seafood options (mackerel, anchovies, octopus, clams, mussels, oysters, you name it) were numerous and delicious. Thank you for the memorable experience!

We had dinner last night, the host was a hot mess and did not know what she was doing, the food was ok, but the problem I had was with our server, she took our order and that was the last we saw of her, another brought our food and were never offered a refill or even dessert. I spend $80 plus for spaghetti and Parm and get zero service!

Coffee shop by day, wine bar by night. I'm bout super into wine or coffee, so what's with the 5-stars? Friday - Sunday they do dinner service and it's the bomb. I haven't had one bad dish, let alone one short of amazing. The rotating menu, and the guest chefs and pop-ups they host, keeps the food variety going in a small town. It's no-brainer when someone asks me for a weekend dinner rec.

This place is a real treat! We sat at the bar and ordered some of their delicious plates. We got the eggplant and potato croquettes, which were fried to perfection. We also got the tasty smoked salmon tinned fish plate, which came with pickled carrots and radishes, castelvantrano olives, and crackers. It paired nicely with their funky orange wine. The owner/server was friendly, and nice to chat about their Texas wine. I ended up buying two bottles, my favorite being their rose. This is a place the locals go to hang out, and you get a real vibe for Marfa's small and close-knit community. It was fun to be there and be part of the action.

THE BIG: New(ish) wine tasting room in Marfa. Nice "Welcome to Marfa" sign at the front of the store. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here after a long day of hiking in Big Bend and we were close by in nearby Alpine. Apparently this tasting room recently opened in March 2024, so we came in at the "opening". Wines featured were from all over Texas and they had a few of their own wines on display. What attracted us was their Super Tex, a play on a Super Tuscan. It's 100% tempranillo but from 3 different terroirs (volcanic, limestone, and sandstone). It was good and you could really taste the soil in which it came from. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, a bottle of Alta Marfa's Super Tex was around $45 w/o tax & tip. Great vibes and will be back!

Friendly welcome and cute place to stop for a snack and a drink. Eggplant and potato croquettes were great as well as the orange wine.

We hadn't been to Marfa in a year and didn't realize this spot had opened. We loved everything about it- great wine and food options, relaxed ambience, and friendly service.

Great atmosphere with good wine and very attentive service! Enjoyed visiting with the owners on their new venture. Would definitely recommend!!

Food was delicious, wine was even better. Was I town for a couple of days and stopped by for a few glasses of wine. Staff super helpful and knowledgeable about wine. 10/10

Had a great afternoon of wine tasting and conversation in this local wine bar. Local winery wine selections and incredible attentive service. We were taken with the ambiance and the wine selection. We left with Alta Marfa wines to continue enjoying and to share when we return home. Highly recommend!

Great wine and incredible food for dinner. Especially great for vegetarians though they have meat options. Very pretty space and nice outside option.

Great Winery, nice location and wonderful tour of their wines. Would highly recommend
