This little place is a gem. The old motel was converted to restaurants and shops surrounding an outdoor patio. A perfect place to grab a bite - everyone can select the food of their choice and meet up at one of the tables in the courtyard to enjoy it together. There is often music and plenty to see as you stroll through the shops. Easy to combine this with a trip to the botanic gardens and aquarium which are just across the street.

Food scene
Ten 3 sits atop the Sandia Mountains and has the most amazing views of the sunset and city at night. An extra treat is to travel to your dinner location by the country's longest tram ride. The ambiance and service are exquisite. The food is quite good. The views are stunning. Reservations are required for the dining area - though seating in the bar is open but still very busy - which is a good sign. I have hopes to hike up the La Luz trail, which ends right at the restaurant and grab a beer and a burger some fall afternoon!

Sweet and savory waffle options galore! The patio in the back is much more inviting and picturesque than the scattered picnic tables in front of the restaurant would convey. There is also indoor seating. If you go on the weekends you may just have to grab a table wherever you can find an open seat as it often fills up quickly.
