Restaurant Cochineal
Marfa's most refined restaurant, serving seasonal tasting menus built around local ingredients, with courtyard seating highly prized.
Located on W San Antonio St beside Highway 90, it is called the town's most refined restaurant by multiple guides. The focus is on a chef's tasting menu that changes often with the seasons. Common dishes include bison short rib with pecan mole, pronghorn tartare, quail, Gulf shrimp and other West Texas ingredients. The house-made sourdough with sage salt butter is often praised, and wine or cocktail pairings are available. Reservations must be made in advance by email or phone, and you should mention any allergies. Reviews note that service can be slow and tables are close together, so courtyard seating is recommended. Tasting menus start at about $80, and it is a walk from downtown.
