This cozy room of dark wood beams and stone, nestled in the historic El Tovar Lodge, dates to 1905. Gourmet classics such as duck, lamb, and salmon are on the menu, which focuses on locally sourced and organic ingredients. Many dishes have a modern Southwest touch, and the room is also open for breakfast and lunch. Modeled after a European hunting lodge, this rustic 19th-century dining room built of hand-hewn logs is worth a visit. Everyone from Teddy Roosevelt to Sir Paul McCartney is said to have dined here. If you can't get a dinner reservation, consider lunch or breakfast, when you can get the pancake trio featuring honey pine nut butter and prickly pear syrup. Dinner reservations can be made up to 90 days in advance with room reservations, and 30 days in advance for all other visitors.
The canyon views from this casual Southwestern-style steak house are the best of any restaurant at the South Rim. The dinner menu leans toward steak-house dishes, while lunch is primarily salads and sandwiches with a Southwestern twist. Local ingredients, as well as beer and wine selections from Arizona brewers and vintners, are featured along with a larger list of wine, beer, and cocktails.
Open for lunch and dinner, this casual café at Bright Angel Lodge serves basics like salads, sandwiches, and burgers. Harvey House favorites like strip steak and spaghetti round out the menu. For dessert try the flourless chocolate lava cake or the more casual ice cream sandwich with whipped topping and chocolate sauce. Be prepared to wait for a table: the dining room bustles all day long.
Located at Bright Angel Bicycles, next door to the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, this convenient coffee bar also serves fresh juices, sodas, and energy drinks as well as sandwiches, salads, and pastries. Everything is fresh and from Flagstaff favorites; the coffee beans are from Firehouse Coffee Company, the sandwiches and salads from Eat N' Run, and the bagels from Biff's Bagels.
You can get BBQ, hot sandwiches, hot dogs, or Mexican fare at this food court. The adjacent Maswik Pizza Pub serves pizza by the slice and wine and beer. Lines can be long during high-season lunch and dinner, but everything moves fairly quickly.
If you don't have time for full-service, the restaurant in Yavapai Lodge offers cafeteria-style dining for breakfast and dinner, including beef brisket, pizza, baked chicken, and salmon. Wine and beer, including craft brews from nearby Flagstaff, are also on the menu; or enjoy drinks on the patio at the adjacent Yavapai Tavern, which serves lunch and dinner.
