The Love Apple

A small restaurant in a 19th-century adobe chapel, serving seasonal northern New Mexican dishes made with local organic ingredients.

Located at 803 Paseo del Pueblo Norte, the restaurant was converted from the old Placitas Chapel. The candlelit adobe space has only about a dozen tables. The menu changes daily with the ingredients available. The signature dishes are trout roasted in corn husks with chipotle cream, corn tamales with Oaxacan mole, and a poached trout spread appetizer. It serves dinner only and has few seats, so book ahead. Some sources say it accepts cash only. Prices are mid-range to upscale. It is about a 15-minute walk from the plaza.
