Artichoke Cafe
The Artichoke Cafe was reopened in 1989 by Pat and Terry Keene. Pat, who was formally trained in New York City, is executive chef and Terry has 30 years experience in restaurant management. Their dedication to the best in food, wine, and service has made this 120-seat restaurant one of Albuquerque's finest dining spots. Its downtown location on Route 66 in the Historic Huning Highland/E.D.O. District, cozy modern decor and rotating art exhibits add panache and charm to its ambiance. The food is a mix of French, Italian, and creative American, using only the finest ingredients.
